  1. I don't know about the filling it but I was reading you have to bleed the air out of the oil line. It says most people back the plug out until air can pass through it (not completely out) and turn the motor over until a steady stream pours out. Tighten it back and install the filter and do a final oil level check. I did find this on another site: In regards to chainging the oil it is more involved than just draining the oil tank under the headlight. Here are the steps you will want to take. 1) Find the hose that runs from the oil tank to the motor. Its on the left side as you sit on the quad. Have an oil pan handy and a big roll of paper towels (your going to need themhttp://forums.atvconnection.com/images/smilies/smile.gif) Loosen the hose at the motor and quickly place it over an oil pan and let drain. This will drain the oil tank. 2) The same hose you removed at the motor you want to remove underneath the oil tank. THere is a mesh oil screen in there that should be checked from time to time. Since you have no way of knowing whether the prior owner cleaned the screen I highly recommend checking it. 2) Remove the oil plug underneath the motor. Let drain into oil pan. 3) Remove oil filter. THis is where you are going to need a lot of paper towels. 4) Your almost there... Put in a new oil filter, replace the drain plug on the bottom and tighten the oil line between the tank and the motor back up. 5) Place ~3qt of oil into oil tank and start her up and let it run for a few minutes. Make sure the red light on the dash goes out within a few seconds of startup or else shut it down. Let sit and check oil level. My DS took about 3.3qt everytime I changed the oil. Use a good 10-40wt conventional or "motorcycle" synthetic that is safe for wet clutches. If you use an automotive synethic you clutch will end up slipping. I think if you prime/bleed the air like it says after do do the change you should be fine.
  2. DD is right I have an 87 and I know that the 87 is a different beast from the rest. I agree QuadracerHQ is an excellent place for answers about the Quadracers.
  3. If it is a 2 stroke then it won't be a 10w 40 but should be a 2 stroke oil and should be mixed with fuel. I would start with 40 to 1 mixture if your mostly stock. I would use a good quality of 2 stroke oil, synthetic. I use Amsoil but Klotz, Motul, etc are all good.
  4. Is this an LT250R? or a LT250s Quadrunner? The 250R is a 2-stroke and the 250s is a 4-stroke.
  5. I am anxious to see how this holds up.
  6. Welcome to QuadCrazy. I would love to ride a Renegade 800 looks tough and I'll bet it is a beast.
  7. You can do this. I saw a girl on TV do it but you can search youtube and find a bunch of videos.
  8. Make sure you get oil for wet clutches.
  9. It sounds like the main jet is still dirty.
  10. Just saw Guy Fiery leaving a restaurant down the street for a taping of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.
  11. Looks very cool. I would like to try and make an event.
  12. Is your battery fully charged?
  13. I have an 87 and have a stock bore, stock carb. I have Boysen reeds, Fatty pipe and silencer and a K&N and I am running stock jets in my carb. I have no problems with power or fouling and don't run to lean.
  14. That don't include Michael Jackson I agree
