Sup Gang,

So Im Picking up my crated 89 LT250r next weekend... I have no Idea what shape its in other than its completely tore down. Chassis im told is in great shape and fresh paint. Still sending off to powder coat after gusset install (if I can find a kit). This will be my first Resto/Mod so any tips, special tools, words of advice would be much appreciated. I have no doubt this project will take months and several $$$. I plan on doing all the work myself except for the Motor and paint. Any suggestions on reputable 2 stroke gurus i can ship the motor to ???  Again any help would be much appreciated. Pics coming as soon as i pick her up.....Until then... Deuces...

Well she was not exactly what I was lead to believe. Then again for the price I can't complain. As you can see she is a roller with the Engine already removed from chassis. The previous owner really had no clue what he had. Pretty much the whole Quad is there minus plastics. After loosening the Nerfs I was able to Identify the 10th digit in the Vin#... Shes an N = '92  ... Not the 85-86 I was originally told. which is actually a good thing. The Major problem I have is the huge Crack in the frame next to the rear brake lever. So I will have to grind on what is a fairly new Powder coat job, and weld. My big wonder is will a weld hold or should I also add reinforcements around the repaired area???? AS you can see in the last Pic the Crack is pretty vicious. Let me know what ya think. Until then... Deuces!!!!IMG_20171201_184955993.thumb.jpg.0c0ed20711295da5492a3431fae6ddac.jpg

I'd weld up the  crack  and  also  gusset to  both  bars

I agree Sir. I think im gunna MIG it with some fairly heavy wire. I have a couple of Master Welders on my job site. ill get with them on best wire gauge to use and have them fab me up some gussets. might as well reinforce the opposite side too. The only thing that totally blows, the more I weld and grind, the more im gunna jack up this totally pimp Powder Coat job. I might as well sand blast it and start over.....ERRRRRRRRRRR.... Hubs and A-Arms will have to be done too... Frack it!!!!! Im pulling the Swing Arm as soon as the sun is up. Complete tear down to begin in 60 min.. Coffee is already on.. Walk the stupid dog... Gather tools and material... So much for  Resting on my only day off.

      Hi All.  I introduced myself some weeks ago with my 2006 LT-F400F that needed a list of repairs including replacing the cracked generator cover.  It is back together as of last night and cranks up, idles and revs high pretty well.  Needs some fine tuning and stop backfiring at stop.
      The big issue is it will not go into gear.  I reassembled the insides with help from y’all’s posts.  The transfer selector moves from H-L-R, and the foot shifter moves thru the gears and finds neutral easily enough.  Before I tear it back open, the  transfer selector on top does not move as far as the repair manual says.  The diagram shows the shaft moving something like 40 degrees between L and H and 50+ degrees between L and R but it doesn’t move that far even though it finds the indent areas and moves well.  
      Could this be the problem.  I aligned all the dots on the shifter gears inside and it appeared to not be binding anywhere.  I do hear the gears touching when I shift like they are trying to engage, but zero movement from the ARV
      It was somewhat difficult to tell whether all the parts are installed on each shaft.
      Are there better/bigger photos somewhere that would allow me to be confident I included all the washers and bushings, etc?  If I had any doubt on parts that were laying inside after the cover broke then I purchased replacements from online stores.
      TIA for any input or feedback!!  Pics are from when I first took the generator cover off.

      What is the best paint for a swing arm. I know powdercoat would be the best, but I am looking for paint type that I can easily do at home.

      Okay so I bought this 1997 sazuki king quad from a guy and he had it for a few years. 
      He had it registered and on the trails last year but he said it bogged and backfired when he would try to drive it. so it sat for a year. 
      I bought it for 800 bucks and got it running that night and it ran great for a few days 
      But I parked it the other night and went to start it again and it was really hard to fire up and when I did it was bogging and idling high then low again.
      So I took the carb out and cleaned it (ended up doing it twice because it was still doing the same thing) 
      Now today I have it running slightly better, but it is still like 20% 
      I have been looking it up and trying to figure it out but I can't find the issue, has anyone else had this problem? I'll attach a video of it running and giving some throttle
