I am looking into getting a new set of chain and sprockets for the 87 LT250r. What do you guys recommend? Where is the best place to purchase from? ect...

 

Im not to familiar with atv sprockets but SUNSTAR sprockets always worked great for me on my dirtbike and its not to different of an application. I also ran an o ring chain, but in a dated topic someone said o-ring chains somehow rob power? I personally would run o-ring just because its much less maintenance.

 

If the quad came with a non o-ring chain stock, I'd stick with it, and vice-versa.

 

saving money? go for a non

want every ounce of power? go for non

want to go with easy maintenance? get the o-ring.

 

Correct but if you want see the difference between the two chains raise the rear end off the ground and then spin the wheels.

The o/ring is maintenance free and the non does require some or it won't last.

What I do to make my non/oring chain last is take it off between rides and especially if they have been long ones is to clean them with kerosene and then put it a five gallon container of used synthetic motor oil for a short period of time to let the oil soak in between all the pins, wipe it down, and it looks like new again.

Between oil dips I use honda HP pro chain lube.

 

sunstar sprockets and an o ring chain...works great on my 86lt...not much maintainence and it lasts!!!i went with ybn since it was cheap and reliable!!
