Clark,
My LT 250 R is missing all of the electrical parts needed for a "real" lighting system. Being it is a former racer, it has been stripped of ALL parts not needed, and probabaly some needed parts as well! NOr is it worth it to go hunting for the parts as this machine is going to be replaced (it will make a good backup ride) at some point, soon hopefully! I will admit though that i had thought about a good aftermarket lighting system.

RoostKing...

p.s. Plus it doubles as a flashlight in camp! How many quad lighting systems do you know of that can be so useful!

I have an 86 lt250r

FMF Pipe
FMF Silencer
What looks to be a Roost Boost

And what appears to be a really outta wack front end. I bought it a few months back this is my third one, and well can someone tell me were I can get aftermarket front A-arms, and possibly a frame I haven't been able to decide exactly whats bent after much staring I think it's both. I want to replace the swingarms first though.

Aza..

Well why not. My ride is an 86 LT250R. For now it is completely stock except for the AC steel nerfs.(the blue on the nerfs matches my frame) I plan to get an FMF Fatty pipe and Turbine Core, plus Boyesen reeds sometime in the near future.

'86 lt250r - 100% stock. I originally bought it for my wife, but she likes my banshee better. Now I'm the proud Suzuki owner. Anyone have tips on how to make these things as fast as a banshee? I've got to at least keep up with my wife; my buddy's jokes are getting old.

Just added:
.020" wiseco
porting
.015" milled head
boyesen reed
36 pj keihin

Jeff,
You'd better get a thick skin! Unless you plan on sticking either a banshee motor in your LT or are going to find a snowmobile motor, you wont ever be able to even keep up with your wife. Some things you could do are the standard pipe, porting, a carb change. One of the cheapest and most effective mod for any high-performance quad would be a change of gear ratio. I went from a 12 tooth countershaft sprocket (the front) to an 11 tooth sprocket. This helped acceleration quite a bit, although I did lose some top-end, but that was to be expected. Try getting rid of un-needed equipment for wieght savings. If you are really serious about trying to catch our wife, you could get a stroker kit that will bump up your CC's to 300 or 325.

Hope this helps.

RoostKing 85 LT 250 R, piece of junk...

P.s. I did do this trick to a friend so i could beat his banshee. Try taking one spark plug off. Let them run on 1 cyl. until they figure out the problem!. That allowed me to be king, for about 20 minutes!
