Frankenbuggy


Recommended Posts

I bought a 96 trail boss 250 new for my kids to ride and now they are grown up and the quad just sat around with just me riding it once in a while.

A friend on mine gave me a frame (i'm not sure what its from) and i decided to bust out the sawzall and see what I could create.

I cut the frame down leaving the engine and drive train intact and inserted this into the rear of my new frame. The width of the rear axle wasn't wide enough so i found some 2" spacers and that made the rear wheels 4" further apart. I cut the front suspension apart and mounted them on the front of my frame ( wider than they were on the quad) I had to fab up a handle bar set up and after a couple of try's found one that worked.

I re-used all the brakes except for the manual rear brake, re mounted the gas tank rear of drivers seat.

I dont know how to post pics on this site but showing some pictures would help a lot.

so until I figure out how to post pics you'll just have to use your imagination . . lol

So now after I have frankenbuggy finished driving it around is a blast and then I came across a 96 Polaris 400cc engine and trans (not sure what its out of but I have the serial number if anyone knows how to find out) The engine overheated and needs piston and rings so i'm gonna get a new piston and rings and replace the 250 with this new 400 . . . so now the Frankenbuggy should s#!t and get.

can anyone tell me if I can reuse the transmission from the 250 with the 400 motor? that sure would help in the engine swap if I could since both are a 96.

And some help on posting pics so you guys can see Frankenbuggy

You can see the back of the Frankenbuggy in my avatar

      If you're new here, tell us who you are, where you're from and what you ride!!!
      Lets get to know each other a little better shall we?

      Hi, I have been around everything with a motor since I was little, and finally purchased more to get my husband, and kids involved. I have 4 quads I will be searching around for information on. I have two 2002 Suzuki LT80K quads, a 1997 Yamaha Timberwolf 250, and a 1996 Kawasaki Bayou 220. I have had different ones throughout the years, and plan on buying another Yamaha Banshee. I plan on trying to learn more about all of them, so I can customize some of them. I know nothing about them besides how to race them, my dad always took care of the rest, but figured it was time for me to learn.

      Hello everyone, I just picked up an 02 LT-F250F the other day and have been in the process of tearing it down to fix some stuff- one of which was the cylinder base gasket leaking like a sieve. Well, I know why that is now, and I also discovered that someone had been in there before. I didn't take pictures, but it looks like it was probably run low on oil at some point, the cam journals and the "bearings" (for lack of a better term) in the head and the valve cover are totally wiped out, very deep grooves.  From what I know it's very difficult to repair aluminum in this way, so I'm trying to figure out where to go next.
       
      1. Have someone grind down the head and valve cover and fit actual bearings in since the aluminum is screwed, and have the cam ground down to match.  I have no idea what this would cost.
      2. Buy a replacement head+cam+valve cover.
       
      #1 I was hoping someone might have some advice on, but #2 seems like it'll (probably) be the more cost effective option.  However I'm running into some difficulty, it seems like the 2001 and 2002 models specifically use a different head part number,  11100-19B10, instead of  11100-19B01 like for all earlier models.  What exactly is the difference between them? There are obviously far more of the earlier heads because it ran for over 10 years.  Are they actually interchangeable? I've also noticed there are heads from the LT250EF that has 4 valve heads but also otherwise look identical.  Would those work as well possibly?  I'd like to not have to drop $500 on machine work or new heads on a $1300 quad that I'm already putting a bunch of new parts on.  Oh, and it has a new piston and the cylinder itself looks pretty good too, as I said someone was in here before me.
       
      Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'll post pics of the carnage tomorrow.
