Ok I am going to look at a 1986 lt250 and I was wondering if this is a good quad. Does it have frame problems, or crack easily? It has a rebuilt motor with extra tires and plastics for $1200 is this a good deal?
THANKS

 

rebuilt top and bottom ? i dont know i have a 86 with 90 motor i like the 90 motor better and a 1987 like it even better but in my book any lt with good strong motor and nocracks on frames worth a 1000 bux to me thats just my opinion i do however like the 6th gear and the powervalve on 87 and up lts gl

 

Anytime you by a quadracer your making a good investment. They are classics and they are fairly easy to work on. but like any other 2 stroke they take good care and plenty of maintenance. my 87 has brand new plastics and tires and new top end and I would'nt take less than 2200.00 for it.

 

What are the differences between the '86 and newer models? is the speed and the chassis the same?
THANKS

 

ive seen some fast 86s but not as fast as my 87 differences i know of are 5 gears steada 6 no powervalve cdi box is different part number and frame where front of motor mounts comes straight down because ehaust comes out off center of head where 87 nad up comne out in center there for have wishbone right there to aloow it to no other differences that i know of but if there are u will se shortly lol

 

The suspension on an 86 is not as good as a 87 and up.
