Thanks, I had an 86” and 89” back in the day too. The 89” definitely had some good upgrades over the 86”. My son and I restored this one……. Brings back a lot of memories!

the 250r and that garage are both sick

came out nice ... great 4 wheeler for a young rider like your son ... he should be proud . looks like a nice lookin 73-87 there too from what i could see of it ...

Thanks, My son can't wait to take it to the dunes. Took it out for a tuning run and needed to do a few adjustments. The Blazer is a 1980 with a newer front clip on it.

Nice. Had an 86 and 87. I miss my 87 most.

No problem with cracks yet. I have had a couple quads with the 85”/86” swing arm but I know the 87” and newer is a much better setup. I had one of those before as well. Good luck with yours!

Thanks! Good luck with your build!

Nice build! I have an 86 myself I just finished rebuilding the entire engine, I would ditch that first gen swing arm though it's a miracle it has not cracked on you yet. I bet those plastic's were not cheap!

It works on a swing arm / lever with a single bypass shock. The technology has been around for years. It allows for more travel and better stability than the old school double shock setup. Most dirt bikes went to this in the early 80s I think. Thanks for watching!

Thanks, I bought a rebuilt rear shock off e-bay. The front are also stock very good condition shocks I found. Both are working well but will most likely replace the front shocks with an aftermarket pair at some point.

What plastics are those? or is it just custom painted? Also, what suspension do you have on it? Im about to undergo this same thing and can use a lil help :) thanks. and you did a great job, looks AMAZING!!!

The plastic came new off eBay. There isn't any sites that I found for older model remanufactured Suzuki parts. Most I had to buy used off eBay and restore. You can find new motor rebuild parts, bearings, shocks, ect almost anywhere they sell dirt bike parts.

very nice!

Thanks, It took about 2 months only working on the weekends................

can you explain to me how the rear shock works, nice bike by the way, badass!!

Very similar build on craigslist in my area.

thats much less than i thought. starting a mild build on my 86 and after its well rolling starting a full build on a frame i got as extra parts. gunna be a while!

I had about $2,800 into the quad and parts/powder coat. Didn’t have to pay any labor, we did all the work our selves.........

no problem man ill be uploading some videos of my 2002 400ex soon look out for them and please subscribe and like

What shocks did you get? Curious where to find parts for my 86. Looks amazing, definitely came together well! Nice job.

I got the plastic from ZMperformance on EBay.

hey man great restoration on the lt250r its a true 2 stroke love the color sceam great job dont listen to the haters hes prolly riding a little suzuki lt50

Really nice , must have cost alot

that is really nice! how much did it all cost and about how long did it take?

thats not bad.. im lookin for a nice quadracer, for a low price, but theyre hard to find

i have a 1987 quadracer lt250r and i am about to do the same as you did in this video, i was wondering what websites you used to get the parts? i can't find any good websites!

what were there complete numbers for the total rebuild? money wise.

Sweet bike

Are the plastics painted?

Thanks jtownskateboards21
