Lounge / any tips for keeping strangers off your track?

« on: August 06, 2013, 11:25:51 AM »

You and your friends that legally own the land, have rights, whatever, should just take some random nice days off work, or the weekends you go to ride, call the local authorities and advise them to be in the area for arresting trespassers and impounding bikes..It sucks having to miss work, and be that way with people, but once you bust a few and machines get impounded, word will get out REAL fast and they will stay away.

And cops love revenue, and impounding equals money to them.
Personally, I would stay away from doing anything to damage others equipment or cause injuries.

Body and Controls / Does anyone still make this style seat latch?

Even though these say for a ATC 350X, they will fit the 86-87 TRX 250R if you re drill the holes for the pan mounting. They are made from stainless steel.

They will also fit the 88-89 TRX 250R if you cut the factory plastic pegs off the seat pan.

ATC250R / What progressive suspension springs for my 85 250R

« on: August 05, 2013, 10:35:24 AM »

Its weird I have 2 ATC's 85 and 86 250R 3 years ago they where both stock and had the same tires on them same everything and my 85 is more tippier. I even put the 86 original springs in the 85 and its still tippy Im stumped on that the only thing that I found that might make a difference is one of the 85 lower fork tubes must be bent because when I work the fork in and out with no spring it drags. Even when I push the 85 I can tell the front axle bolt doesn't  stay parallel with the ground. Mabey I should look for some different forks.

If you get the forks straight and still feel a handling difference, that could be most likely due to the fact Honda Changed the rake geometry in 86. I don't know the exact specifics, but from what I gathered, the pro's desert racing complained the 85 washed out in hi speed bumps so Honda pushed the front out in the frame building in 86 to help with the stability.. With the 85 having the reduced rake, theoretically it makes it turn more nimble, or faster if you will. It is all in preference, but IMO the 85 turns better in tight areas such as MX racing.

The over all wheel base in 85 was 51 inches and in 86, 51.5 inches.

Engine and Bottom End / The Best Coolant

I have used Engine Ice in all my 2 strokes for over 5 years now. They run cooler and never a problem and have not froze during the winter down to 0 degrees and do not overheat in temps as high as 93 degrees. You do have to flush the system to use it. And do not dilute Engine ice or add anything to it. You run it straight.
