i know this has been KILLED, but i tried the search and never asked so here it goes. I know the top speed and the HP of an PV LT, but anyone know the stock power of a Non-PV Lt250R and top speed? and maybee what im running around now? My wild guess is about 37horse, 74mph? does this sound correct? Plz look at my mods. Thank you and have a nice day.

 

I don't think 74 would be right with stock gearing because it only has 5 gears. Mine goes about 65 and I read the hp somewhere, I thought it was around 30, don't quote. It doesn't take much to add hp though.

 

I gps'd mine at 74 mph a while back. I was running a 14T sprocket at the time. I think 37 HP might be a little high but who knows.

 

Yea, i have a 13 tooth front sproket so my gearing is a litte taller, also i can really reevv out in 5th so i might bump up to a 14tooth.

 

37 hp from a non powervalve your on crack thats only 13 less then the 500, more like 22-25 if that.

 

this is what I get for not finishing the message, stock numbers above, you depends on the extent of mods, the pipe sucks but the rest depends on who did it.

 

Actually, the peak hp of the 85/86 lt250's isn't much different than the 87-92's. Remember, the "Power Valve" on the newer engines actually works like an extra expansion chamber at low RPM's that helps the low end torque. At higer RPM's where your max HP is, it doesn't do anything. No doubt the newer engines have more torque and this extra torque is a huge advantage. But speaking pure horsepower, I'd say the stock 85 and 86 have about the same as the newer ones which is around 32. Also, even though the 85/86 don't have PV's, remember that they only weigh 293 lbs which helps overcome some of the deficit. Still, being a 5 speed, I'd say stock mph is in the high 60's, but probably not 70. The stock 87's went around 72-73 with their 6 speeds.

 

Thank you so much for actually speakin sense. i know a stock 86 doesnt do 73, but i was saying with my taller gearing and mods, maybee it could break 70.

 

I didn't want to attemp to tell you how fast your quad would go with its mods. That's impossible to say because depending on the shape of everything and the quality of the work, it could be way faster than stock or it could even be slower. What I can tell you is that just with taller than stock gearing alone, it is possible to break the 70 mph mark if your engine is fresh and you're running on pavement.
