williamjernigan Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 I posted a topic the other night that raised some contreversy but I was just messing with alot of you guys. But on the real I need some advice for myself as to if I should perchase a 86 250r trx or a lt 250 85. The 85 quadracer runs. I much much much rather have the honda 250r though. It is the 4 wheeler and the frame is good and it has brand new holeshot tires, brand new chrome pipe. It also has durablue extended axle. The problem is the engine has a hole right underneath the gearshifter. If you look right under it then you will see it is kind of rounded around the gear shifter were it comes out of the engine. It shoots out oil when it runs. Can this be fixed with jb weld or something. Or can a left hand case be bought to replace it. Or is that section the bottom end. I can get it for 1200 dollars.

jinx44 Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 The hole is probably from the chain breaking or coming off. Typical of R's. It would be much better than the quadracer. They suck if you ask me. Look carefully at the frame. '86's were bad about cracking if they have been jumped very much. R's have became cheap due to the new 450's. You can now pick them up ready to ride for about $1500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamjernigan Posted January 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 No its not were the chain popped off its under where the gear shifter comes out the bottome end of the engine. It is right where it comes out and where it is kind of rounded around the metal. You have to get down low and look under the gear shifter to see it. It is a hole about 1" big. Any other advice.

jinx44 Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 I have seen an '86 ATC R that threw a chain and caused a hole just as you are describing. The case save kept it from busting the stator case, but didn't keep it from breaking it below the shifter. We JB'd it shut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williamjernigan Posted January 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Thanks I my friend is going to get the atc250r 3 wheeler for sale to so if we buy it together he will sell both for 2,000 instead of 1500 for the 250r trx and 1,000 for the atc. I think that jb weld will work thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellison445 Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Dont sleep on the LT250, with the right set up you will kill other bikes. I had an 88 and I was killing everything...Then again I did have a 87 quadzilla motor in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinx44 Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 There is no comparison between the 85-86 LT250s and the later ones. That LT500 engine would have helped though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
