Did someone say they wanted specs on the LT250R? Here they are.

In the middle 1980s, Suzuki had different ideas of what an ATV should be. Other motorcycle manufacturers had already produced ATVs in the form of three wheelers for a number of years and now had progressed to a point where high-performance two-stroke ATVs were popular. In defiance to the ATV trend of that time, Suzuki's first high-performance ATV was produced having four wheels, instead of only three. The Suzuki QuadRacer marked the beginning of the high-performance Quad era.
The Suzuki LT250R "QuadRacer" is the little brother to the larger LT500R "QuadRacer". Both QuadRacer models share similar design features adapted to high-performance racing conditions and they each sport the same yellow and blue color scheme, but share very few components which are not interchangeable. The easiest way to differentiate these two models from a far is by identifying each QuadRacer’s blue, radiator grille. The LT250R’s grille features two vanes that are oriented horizontally, while the LT500R’s grille features a single vertical vane through the center.
The LT250R was offered only during the 1985 through 1992 model years. The earliest generation of LT250Rs (1985-86) can be identified by their dark-looking aluminum engines. Starting with 1987, LT250Rs were manufactured with their engines painted blue and were equipped with gear-driven counter balance shafts and SAEC power valve designs. The last few model years of the LT250R can be identified by their new rear suspension linkage. While earlier LT250Rs has the "push rod and see-saw"-styled Full Floater suspension, the latest ones had a compact linkage nestled in the swingarm, similar to all modern Suzuki Full Floater designs.
Standard features for the 1988 LT250R include:
High-performance, liquid-cooled, reed-valve, two-stroke engine
Suzuki Automatic Exhaust Control (SAEC) power valve for more power at all RPMs
Rugged manual clutch and 6-speed, close-ratio, transmission
Responsive flat-slide Mikuni carburetor
Gear-driven counterbalancer for smooth engine operation
Strong, lightweight aluminum rims
"T-type" seat for added support when cornering
Large, bright 60/55-watt halogen headlight with high and low beams
Front shocks feature progressive-rate springs with adjustable 5-way preload and 4-way rebound damping adjustment
"Full Floater" rear suspension with box-type aluminum swing arm, remote gas-charged damper, and adjustable preload, 4-way compression, and 4-way rebound adjustments
Aerodynamic fenders

Hey Superstar, ya don't happen to have the specs for a '85 Quadsport 230 s?

 

Yeah, What would like to know?

 

i was wondering what the weight of the Quadsport was. is it the same as the 'racer? must be pretty close.

 

I will be picking the beauty up in the morning to begin the tear down. The reason it is blue,,,,,because he painted it the same color as his truck.
