I am 14, 5'7'', 135lbs and have been riding my 250X for the past few years. I am looking for a strong, powerful, reliable sport atv. I have been trying to decide to get one for a while now. I just blew all my money on my X for new bearings and piston rings and plan on sellin mine for $2300 and the Quadracer i want is $2200. Do I need lots of money for repair? I am doing woods, track and wide open huge jumps. Does this sound like a good descicion? What should I look for when I see it? THAX GUYS!!

 

in a word- yes.

 

In a word?

 

just make sure that the 'racer is in great shape to begin with and you should be just fine. it sounds like you are already intimate with the interworkings of a 4-stroke, having done a top end on one. so maintaining a 2-stroke should not be that tough... don't forget mixing your gas.

go for it & have fun

 

YES!! I bought a 92 quadracer 250 last summer, its faster than all my friends 400EX's, the LT doesn't handle quite as well but it cost half as much. Try and find a 88 or newer and Greese the bearings!

 

If it is not in great shape then buy a blaster. They are cheap reliable machines, and it is easy to make them fast, faster than a 250. The only problem with them is the brakes, but if u take them apart and clean them once in a while they will work fine.

1995 yamaha blaster, paul turner pipe and silencer, K&N filter, rear holeshots, graydon full skidplate, oil injection block off kit.

 

YES!!!

 

A Blaster could never beat a lt250, NEVER! I used to have a 230 quadsport that wasn't much slower than a Blaster. An air cooled, oil injected, drum braked, econobox like the Blaster would not be able to keep up with a 300EX, and I can walk rite past 400EX's, trust me all my friends have 400EX's and its Funny. I am a Intermediate rider, most of my friends are a little better than me, and on an MX course I can stay with thier 400EX's,
so for the money you can't beat a 88-92 Quadracer

 

Hell yeah, they are great quads that will leave the current crop of atvs in the dust.Good luck!
