ngelati Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 Sorry may be Im not in the correct forum.. I have the chance of buying another quad. It is a 1992 Suzuki LT250.. (I only know about banshees...) Is it a good Mx Quad..? What about power, suspension, weight? Any kind of spec will be highly appreciated. Later Nicolas Quote
banshee tuner Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 Not a hole lot of power but a decent bike if it was taken care of. I've seen some that would not stay running and some that were ten years old and give no problems because they were taken care of. Give that thing a good test drive and see how it feels. Quote
ngelati Posted January 19, 2005 Author Report Posted January 19, 2005 Thanks for the info!! any pics? Quote
BenBB Posted January 19, 2005 Report Posted January 19, 2005 Ngelati there's a buncha LT250R pics here: http://www.quadracer.com As banshee tuner said, they don't have the top end power as a Banshee but make up for it with more bottom end and torque, so may be better suited to an MX track (alot will depend on the rider). Compared to a Honda 250R the LT doesn't have quite as good front suspension, and the chain adjustment is as bad or worse than the Banshee's. The early LT's had motor probs ('85 and '85) but the later years were better, BTW '92 was the last year they were produced here in the US. Anyway, if it's a good deal I'd check it out and see how it looks. Quote
ngelati Posted January 19, 2005 Author Report Posted January 19, 2005 thanks again Ben!! Any page with specs? Quote
sredish Posted January 19, 2005 Report Posted January 19, 2005 I'd give my left nut for another quadracer. Plus, I think they look good as hell. Quote
slowpokebanshee Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 that motor has a power valve doesn't it? if so good power for MX Quote
sredish Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 that motor is not powervalved. I don't really remember the chain adjustment being as bad as my banshee's. Loosen a few bolts up and then rotate the cam and walla, but it's been awhile so I could've forgotten. I think it would be a fun XC machine. I'd like to have one again and use it for that. Quote
sheestofast Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 The Newer models were powervalved i believe and not a bad bike for mx the only complaint I have ever heard about the lt for mx racing in the poor handling. I had a chance to buy one a while ago and passed it up Quote
sredish Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 The Newer models were powervalved i believe 309232[/snapback] Well, that's good to know, didn't realize that. how'd they get around the battery issue? Quote
ngelati Posted January 20, 2005 Author Report Posted January 20, 2005 Yes, they were powervalved motors Quote
BenBB Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 (edited) There's a little more about LT's at www.macdizzy.com, try this link: http://www.macdizzy.com/lt250.htm And BTW sredish, I don't know for sure how the LT's powervalves work, but a battery isn't a necessity, just look at the vacuum-operated valves on aftermarket (like Cheetah, T-Rex, etc.) Banshee jugs...
