Don't they share the same frame? Can this be done if you can weld?

 

shouldnt be too hard. the frame might not hold up though. I think its been done before. can I ask why?

 

I have a LT250 and was dreaming of the power of the 500, wouldnt it be cheaper this way?

 

yea if you have the motor allready. you might have to have a custum pipe made. and relocate motor mount tabs. that stuff is easy but time consuming. is the 250 a lot lighter?

 

I'm not sure about the weight. I would kill to have your cr500 quad. What do you think would the easiest engine to put in an 86 frame, and turn some major hp?

 

I have an 85 cr500 motor im my 85 lt250 frame I didnt do the work but it doesnt look like it took alot of changes to do it

 

My next project is going to be a banshee cheeta motor in a 87 250r chassis with suspension and a longgggg swing arm. Ive wanted to do this for a while and havent seen one yet.

 

How are you doing justaguy, Havent heard from you in a while. have you ran the beast latley?

 

yeah the 500 motor will fit without to many mods there is a web site called mcdizzy that goes step by step the pipe hangs out of the frame pretty far but i do not recomend it due to the fact of the shorter swing arm you have a wheelie machine and you cant steer with the wheels off the ground just buy a zilla once you get used to the extra width you will never go back to the 250 trust me and i loved the lt250s...

 

I just wish I could sell mine and get what I feel is right for it. It is a crime that they sell for 1400 bucks!! And you got slow 4 strokes sellin for 4 and 5k. They are worth so much more, but what can you do, that is what the sell for. I have seen REALLY trick LT250 and LT500's go for less than 3k. It should be a crime!
