EFFIN A right doggie! Keep up the good work sir!
Thank you much! Been up and down project with more changes than a hookers underwear but it's on the right path now for sure. I eventually want to make it more LTR efficient as far as parts go(subframe/intake/airbox) by building a down draft alloy intake that puts the carb above the shock mount like and LTR and run the stock LTR intake tube and box. Build my next pipe around the box and make a nice flowing silencer that mounts in the LTR exhaust mounts. Being a MX purpose built machine it's going to get crashed and subframe are prone to bending. The set up now is so one off that i'd never be able to replicate it at the track and make the next moto or what not. A lot of time invested for such little production.
Looking awesome! Keep at it!
Cool pics of your build up. Be great to feel what 75 hp would feel like in a modern chassis.
It has taken me long enough haha. I'm either working 6-7 days a week or laid off 2-3 months. The joy of being a welder(joking). I've ran completely out of spending money right now in between jobs and I desperately need to get some parts for it.... I dont want to rob my LTR again since I stated back racing a few weeks ago but damn it's getting tempting!
Ditched the motoplat! It started trying to run backwards idling so I modified 85 lt250 electronis to work on it since I had nothing for a 500 besides a burnt up stator and a CDI. Cranks a lot better and idling is way smoother but I've been told my pipe is too small/too short to make power and run efficient. Could anyone help me find a custom 2 stroke exhaust builder close to or in Alabama? It's going to have to be built on the quad with plastics, radiator and all on it to make sure it clears everything. I could do it but i have no way of welding it up besides a mig and I refuse to use that on an exhaust. Plus I have very little knowledge on 2 stroke exhausts as far as size and length effect power curve. I just know what brands perform and what brands do not and nothing I have even comes close to fitting this thing beside my 9 drag pipes and that's just gonna be silly for MX lol. I've literally tried 40 - 50 pipes I've collected over the years from dirtbikes, ATC, ATV and still empty handed. Please don't ignore this, I need your help! I dont want to ship my bike anywhere so it has to be within 400 miles and I dont mind leaving it with a trusted builder I just dont want my
**** stolen after logging all this time in it. Thanks.

U should get a 87 up box 250 or 500 the 85 timing curve is way dif
It actually is an 88 500 CDI box now. Got lucky and found one close by down the road. Got it free to boot lol.
Hey, are you still going with this?
Did this build ever get completed?Just curious is all.
Awesome build so far guy! Don't forget to build an air box or you will be rebuilding your motor constantly from sucking dirt. The idiot that had my LT before me got rid of the airbox and stuck a k and N filter directly on the carb. I'm building an aluminum airbox and will be tig welding it.
been running a k+n filter for a while with no airbox, all an airbox does is hinder air flow.
A K/N filter won't keep out dust and mud. 3 of my friends learned that the hard way.
and you think an air box will keep out dust?
I live in PA so mud and water hitting an open element filter is a problem.
Waterproof outerwear.
Both are open filters in super dusty, no issues.
Open in muddy day, no issues
Only thing, don't submerge it in water and you will be fine. Get the filter clean too, don't let it get torn up, get it oiled and use a waterproof outerwear and nothing to worry about.
What kind of filter are you running? There is a paper K/N filter attached to my carb. There is no way it would hold up to mud or heavy dust. I spoke to Duncan Racing when I bought my carb from them, and they even suggested using an air box with the lid removed.
The LT had a foam but is now a k+n, the banshee has a k+n.
