Title: New member from washington
Post by: Troy on April 29, 2016, 01:05:54 PM: Hello everyone, I have had my 86r since 2000 or 2001 bought stock and spent several years building, and upgrading it. In 06 I started racing MX and the tranny let go 2 weeks before the first race. So I brought the tranny in for a rebuild and bought a brand new ltr450 to race. Shortly after I reassembled my r rode it a few times and parked it in the shop with a broken swingarm and broken front brake caliper, where it has sat for 9 years now. After a couple years of racing I got into snowmobiling and lost interest in riding quads, so I sold the ltr a few years back.
Now for some odd reason I have felt the urge to resurrect the old girl and tear it up again (if I still can). So last week I ordered a lonestar swingarm, put some new fuel in it and it fired on the 6th kick. Swingarm is a few weeks out and the brakes still need to be addressed, but I am very excited to get back on the seat, and to be a member of the site.

Post by: Troy on April 29, 2016, 05:55:04 PM: Wasn't going to sell them, that's what the right price thing kinda means. I have some other stuff I will sell though, like an AC grab bar for 88, 89 that I bought not knowing it wouldn't work on my 86. Also have a 36mm ESR mukini tmx carb might have the ESR jet board and jets. Would have to look. I will make a post in the for sale area when I get around to digging through all that stuff.
