What are all the after market parts that you can put on a 86 lt250r. I am looking for some cheap parts you can put on it that can unleash like 10 or 15 cc's, maybe even more. I already have works performance front/rear nitros shocks, soon to come K&N air filter, FMF power core and Fatty pipes, Renthal sprockets and chain, also Boyesen power reeds. What else can i put on it?

The only way to get cc's is to bore the engine. Don't do it unless you need to, or you will just go through sleaves or jugs. The shocks you have arent nitrous shocks, they are nitrogen.
Anyways, check out my mods for a pretty good list of things that you can do

Want you want is more HP not cc's. The 85-86's don't have the same potential as the 87 and up, but with a ported cylinder, rechambered head, lightened flywheel and larger carb they can make alot more power than stock.

mill the head, port work.

i suggest before you do all that work to it, that you fix some of the things wrong with it.

like the hood that is only 3/4 the origioal size.
The ghetto exaust pipe,looks really beat, put on with a pipe clamp, you should get a fmf pipe for the thing.
BTW those a-arms are just stock ones(primer black)
Rear plastic could use to be mounted level.
from the picture the rear brake rotor looks like it could be possibley be out of position.
Check the axel bearings.
I would probley get a new chain(at least) and new sprokets.


Just trying to help make sure you lt can handel the new power you want to give it.

I'll try to be a bit less harsh than Vinny.

The Answer silencer on there is not doing much for you performance-wise. Adding a quality pipe and silencer will make a huge difference. Sorry to burst your bubble, but the only thing about those A-arms that isn't stock is the paint. The works shock are an improvement over stock, but in 87 Suzuki switched from 12-1/2" to 15" front shocks for a reason. Try to find another performance atv with anything less than 15" front shocks.

The plastics are probably crooked because one of the arms on the grab bar that supports them broke off, same thing happened to mine. If you get an aftermarket grab bar, it won't have any fender supports anyway. The stock carb is 34mm not 35. If you haven't modified it already, don't bother, a new Keihin will perform alot better.

Yeah, I noticed that crooked rotor. The silencer could be changed.
With my longer a-arms, they have two mounting positions and I was able to put on a 300ex shock wich is longer than a lt250 shock.
