My dad bought one of these things for $200 when i was like 12 or something. Well i went into the shed the other day and kind of got to wondering, what if? I'm now 19 so the thing has been sitting for awhile now, i was just kind of wondering if i could kind of pep this thing up a little to play around with mud/donuts/hanging with all my buddies farm quads/etc.... Now that i've became considerabely more mechanically inclined, i was thinking this thing is a 2-stroke, so there has to be some power to be made somewhere. (pipe, port, just some goodies) The thing is i have a banshee and riding around with my buds on thier farm quads is not really much fun. So i was just kind of wanting the scoop on this motor or particular quad, i mean is there anything i should watch out for, where could i get some performance goodies (if any), does anyone know where i could get some original specs for this thing. I just remember this thing was decently quick at one time, and i just wondering is it possible to make it ast quick or quicker. Thanks for any info.

 

I know back then the Cyclone had more HP than todays 250's but did the trail boss have the same motor as the Cyclone my daughter has an 87 trail boss and it will smoke my sons 2000 trail blazer in a drag race they are both stock any Ideas??

 

I would assume they were the same motor. I'm guessing that maybe the cyclone had maybe a little better ported head, or higher compression, or maybe a little advanced timing. Yeah but for being an '87 that sucker was pretty fast, nothing compared to the shee, but it was definitely fun. Does anyone have any idea where i could get some mods? thanks

 

Most everything for any Trailblazer will fit the old trailboss.
