hey lt250guy who did your polish work on the engine? and what did they charge?

 

This is a 87 that I just got done re-dooing last winter.

 

thats one of the cleanest lts ive seen(besides mine..lol!!)nice job strokertwo!!!!

 

hey wats up im hopin to buy a 86 lt250r i was wondering if they are high mantenience my friend says it is alot of work.......i was jsut wondering if they were....thanks

 

Well what I can tell you by what I think maintence and how much money it takes to keep them going. My LT i dont have to usually rebuild the top end till after 2 years or so! I just clean my air filter after im done riding and change transmission oil after 4-5 rides. My LT will start every 1-2 kicks everytime! I think it also depends on how you ride it and how you take care of it. If you dont clean it that much just beat it around with out not caring yes eventually theres going to be alot of problems! Im sure theres some guys in here that can back that up. 2 strokes are more maintence than a 4 stroke, but 2 stroke parts are ALOT cheaper. Some people make 2 strokes sound REALLY bad like why bother becuase of the maintence. Well it will all depend on how you take care of it! After I ride i take time out with my quad to look through things and clean and make sure everything is tight on it and everything and it runs like a top! Pretty much trouble free. My 1999YZ400F dirtbike had to get more maintence when i had that! My opinion is no on it being so much! yes maybe every year you may spend 150$ puting your new top end together! other than that your buying your oil to mix for your gas, and replacing tires maybe, chains and sprockets maybe, but that stuff goes for everything else 4 stroke and 2 stroke atvs. Im sure theres some other guys on here that can voice there opinion on this, but you heard mine and im serious its not BAD at all. I love my LT check it out! Its worth it! the old 2 stroke ATVS are fun both honda 250R and Suzuki LT 250R!

 

also wat quad needs less mantenience a lt250 a tecate or trx 250 theres 3 for sale near me and i was just wondering if anyof them are betteern than the other

I Used no duct tape at all "even i was surprised lol"it looks real cool!!to say the least the only problem is the 1/4 inch gap between the seat and the gas tank...i have not drivin it yet do to the fact that the pipe is a homade dragpipe that sticks out 3 foot out of the frame!my freind has a poser equipped banshee!the only thing it has going 4 it is the wisecos and booste bottle...i will drag him when my lt is complete!
will u sell me ur pipe system lol?and what is a good sproket ratio,i want to have mostly top end and still maintain a little grunt bottom and mid!
will ur lt do 70 mph?
