toying with the idea to stick a bigger motor in an lt80.has anyone done this,if so what motor and was it worth it

 

you really need to look at the frame on the 80. My son had one and had thought the same thing. It depends on what you are wanting to do with the bike. After looking at it I realized the money I would put in it to get it where I wanted it I could have bought a new one with most everything done and would only have to do some mods of my own. I do not feel that the frame and suspension will hold up to too much. Just my 2 cents. hope this helps your decision.

 

The motor/swingarm design makes it tough to do.
Worth it? Not in my eyes.
Maybe you just need a fast LT80 motor.

i do have a spare lt80 motor so maybe thats the way to go.how much more power would i expect from a hot motor,what are the best mods & does these mods effect the reliability of others parts of the bike (clutch, etc.),any info greatly apreciated.
cheers

well I have a mod motor the lt80(jack moore) built for me. stock is 5HP. his mods with stock pipe 10HP. with a trinity pipe your at 15HP. I have the stock pipe on mine. Im 6'2" and 300 lbs and it will run 42to 45 mph with me on it. its a blast. talk to him and he will take care of you. give him a call.

reliability has not been an issue. all my friends come over and run the crap out of it and never had an issue.
