Wondering if anyone can tell me how reliable a 92 lt250r quad racer is? any common problems know with em? thanks

 

Would like to know to considering purchasing one [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

As reliable as any two stroke if you aren't a moron about it.

Run good oil (Amsoil,Klotz,Polaris,Golden Spectro, etc) at a 40:1 mix Keep the air filter clean, use 91-93 octane gas. Make sure the jetting is correct & don't hold them wide open for miles & miles down the road and they'll live a long happy life.

 

cool thanks i just bought one, and its having trouble ideling if i let off the gas at all it wont idle, so ima check the carb and see if that will help. this is my first atv so what exactly if the jetting?

 

a lot of 2 strokes dont idle. but its not impossible to fix. a clean carb and good gas are a big factor

Don't idle.... HAHAHA!!! You obviously don't have a clue.

If the spark plug(s) aren't fouled, the air filter is clean, the idle screw is set properly, air screw set properly & pilot jet the correct size, a two stroke engine will idle all day. Provided it doesn't overheat.

I have had a trx250r, lt250r, & many MX bikes and still own two snowmobiles that are 2-stroke powered. All of which idle rock solid & will do so all day.

 

i dont care what you have!! i race for the ama and none if my **** idles!! go watch a race. at the line see how many bike sit there and idle. also i didnt say it was impossible for a 2 stroke to idle.

 

ya catman no one asked for you to be an *** about it. this is my first quad so im trying to learn how to properly take care of it, thanks for the info go hard of go home

 

oh and it is upgraded for racing my lt250r so that might be why it doenst idle as well

 

well i got it to idle so thats settled
