Author Topic: Identifying a LRD Motor (Read 4344 times)

I stumbled across an add for a machine that appears to be in fairly good condition that I am considering buying. From the photos it appears to have an LRD PV engine kit of some kind and has an LRD exhaust system to match. Since it is LRD I know it is a few years old. Does Arlan still offer parts for these older kits if needed through LED or is his new stuff different? Is there a tell-tale way to identify which kit it is from the outside? If there is, I've attached the pictures of both sides of the motor for you guys to look at. The quad is a couple hours away from me so I haven't called the guy to see what he says or go look at it in person yet. Thought I'd try to get some information ahead of time.

Get the #off the side of the intake and call LED and he can give you the info on the cylinder

or just call the seller since he owns it there is a high probability he knows the info on the top end.

From my experience they are the same as the current esr and prox stuff. I have a top end just like that and a older prox on my current R. They look exactly the same and esr parts fit on the older prox that I have. Specifically I swapped out a newer esr head for the old prox head which looks exactly like the lrd head.

There should be numbers either on the side of the intake, or on the bottom. Arlan keeps a record of them

That looks like a damn nice quad from those pics. Especially with the Hinson cover. Everything looks real clean

Thanks guys. I'll see if he can get me that number when I call him and then give Arlan a call. I wasn't really planning on buying a 250r just yet, but this one seems to be in good condition from the photos so I might have to pick it up.

Not sure where to ask this question, but assuming that the engine checks out and everything else is in good working order, what are big bore 250Rs worth these days? From what I can tell besides what you see on the engine it has Leager's std. travel a-arms and swing arm (possibly extended), basic Works shocks on both ends with reservoirs, Durablue axle, stock headlight and tail light, stock cooling system besides radiator scoops, some newer Maier plastic, custom seat cover, Duncan racing bumper, maybe a larger tank, new wheels with the sand tires, and another set of dirt wheels and tires. Also a 1988 model.

I'm not even going to take a guess at overall price, i'm terrible at that.

But from the looks of it you have some high dollar parts that look to be in especially good condition. Plastics, a-arms, engine, Hinson cover, swingarm, and a few others

250r's out West are typically cheaper than on the East coast.

If it was around portland oregon you'd be around 3 to 3500 maybe 4 tops.

I'd say $3k. Or at lease that's a I'd lay for it asong as it still had a vin on it

Definitely a pro-x cylinder. The last 4 of the engraved serial number will be the month and year it was ported. The number should be near the reed cage. You would have to open the cylinder to determine what it is. I have seen this bike on craislist.

Parts are still available through any atv parts supplier, but LED should have everything on the shelf.
