I can't wait for the temps to get in the 50's. I'd even be happy with high 40's.
I have a new cylinder for the 250 and the 500 is ready for jetting and break in.
The 250 is gone through a lot of changes over the last 4 years. Changed from a 91 chassis to an 88. Broke that frame and switched to a 87 with an aftermarket swinger.
 

Don't know who made the swinger. Took it off an 85 with a swiss cheese frame.
The last ride of the year, I blew the top end of my 87 motor. Wanted to put on the new cylinder before this but I needed to get the studs repared.

MHR did a great job fixing them.
I'll continue to run the PT pipe. It's paid for and works great in the trails. I played on my friends with a Q and it was outstanding but I don't need all that for the trails and I'm not willing to drop that much cash. Got to pay for that p.b.and j.


I finally got my 500 together at the end of the summer. As soon as it warms up, I'll get the carb tuned. Hoping to get the assistance of a local guy who tuned Todd's quad last year.
This quad will also run a PT. 50 bucks plus a ride to Cleveland and I hope I have a good pipe for the trails.

Yes it's rusty but that's how it goes in the rust belt.

Yes, I have Todd's roller and his jug. Sold his Q pipe separately. I put my stock 87 motor and PT pipe on it. Couldn't pass it up.
I'm keeping the 88 jug he was using. He had a friend of ours tune it on his dyno. It was making hp in the mid 60's. If the bottom rod bearing wouldn't have gone, he never would have sold it.
Todd is working on getting his transportation in order for his new job. After that, I'm thinking he'll be at it again. He's an addict.
