I have a 88 lt 250r. Im looking for some good mods to boost my speed, but also give me better bottom to mid-range power. I have a pipe and boisen(sp?) reeds, jet kit, but Im looking for more. I want to get a new pipe, go with a bigger piston and some other fun stuff. What do you suggest I do, what brand. ect.

 

How much money do you want to spend? P.S. I like your name

 

Ill have about 650-700 to spend

 

Bore and port it. Also, you could get a PD coolhead with a 22cc dome (pump gas) and the rad valve to compliment the reeds. A bigger carb would be good too. What kind of pipe do you have?

 

I would update the suspension and chassis first... (get shocks and A-arms and an Eliminator rear axle...) but, if I was going to mod the engine, then I might get a flat top 295cc kit and a cool head.

 

who makes the 295 kit, and where can i find out priceing and specs. I have a arms already on the way from my buddy.

 

Im looking at getting a new pipe. I dont like the FMF that i have right now. I want more bottom end

 

THE pipe to get is LRD adjustable pipe.... at least that's what i've been told from multiple sources. (~$200-300)

other good starts in no particular order:
porting(eric gorr's is the best deal around for a great port job...~$150)
reed block spacer ($30-50)
rad valve (~$130)
bigger carb (~$180-230)
K&N filter & outerwears... my brother eliminated the airbox alltogether and went to a straight slip-on K&N. (~$50)
suspension mods help it hook up better & fit your style of riding when valved properly.(fronts start at ~$300/pair, rebuild/revale/respring the rear by LRD for ZPS ~$300)
axles, extended width help cornering... start at ~$300
A-arms, extended width help cornering... start at ~$500

it all depends on your budget.

hey!!!
