im thinking about putting a lt500r engine on a lt250r i would like to know what you think of this idea. this could be one sick wheeler so please give me some ideas or things that have to be done to it.

 

Not real sure about the LT but I have a tecate4 with a KX500 motor.....well worth any time or money spent

 

So its possible to make that tranformation from 250 to 500 .thanx for the info, if u got any more i would like to know

 

Unless you do some serious mods, the zilla engine may not be the most reliable. It can be made reliable, but its certainly not free. I'd consider this point as well. Even if you dont fix its shortcomings its still gonna fly. Youll just need to care for and love it like a small dog.

 

think il be able to use a kx500 engine and make a pipe out of something else an dya think ill be able to kill a pred

 

The Zilla motor will work just fine,one of my first Drag quad was a lt250 frame with a Zilla engine in it and it worked good and was reliable.

 

Either motor will work very well...hell even a cr500 will work....and as far as beating the pred......LOL no contest the pred might hear you or smell you but he will never catch you

 

Lt250thriller I have a kick *** LT500 engine that would make you domonate drag racing if your interested.$2000.00

 

thanx for the offer but i dont have 2 grand i might have 700 by spring

 

Since I have a LT250 and LT500 I've thought about an engine swap but decided it's not worth it unless you are building a drag racer. A LT500 wieghs around 70lbs more than the LT250 and 30 of it is in the motor. It would be a whole lot of work to save 40lbs. If I was going to do it I would go with the CR500. I've heard all about broke frames and vibration but frames can be reinforced and for the extra available power the CR500 has over the LT500 motor it would be worth the vibration in the handle bars. The LT500 might be easier on the rider but If I go through all the work to bolt in a 500cc motor in a LT250 Im not building it for girls to ride and don't expect it to be maintenance free. Just my veiwpoint though. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
