Hi names Dave I just baught a lt250r. well the guy said it was. He didnt know what year it was. Im trying to find out what year it is and if its a 250 or 500. If anyone could help me. All the guy told me was that his son has to put racing full and that they had $7500 in to the motor. Thanks

Dave

 

well first of all does it got 5 gears or six or when u look on the kicker side of the head is their a clear window that will give you idea 85'-86 have 5 gears not six and they also dont have powervalve so no window also does your pie come out of the middle of head or out more towards the side more towards the side beig a 85 or 86 .if has 6 gears a power valve and pipes out middle will mean its a 87-92 also 85 and 86 front motor mount mounts to a single pipe of frame vs 87-92 has them mounted to a wish bone allowing pipe come off the head in center hope that helps as for size it should say the cc on side of motor later

 

Yup, and if it has 5 gears and a powervalve than its a 500

 

To not be able to tell the difference between a LT500 and a LT250, means, youve never looked at quads before

 

Well it has six gears and a powervalve. but the frame is a 86 thats what the stick said. The reason why I had the qustion is that it has 6 gears. I own three quads. and this own is a miss match quad. has all different year parts in it Im taking a guess. well thanks guys.
