Well I know its not a trike, so please don't ridicule me...i'd never have sold the R if I didn't have to.

I picked up this 87 trx 250r thismorning, it will need a little work but hopefully not too much. A good degreaser bath and I will be able to see what i'm up against....Can't wait to be up and riding again, feels like its been forever, and the dunes are callin my name!!

First order of business, clean the carb and put a brand new throttle cable on it. ;)

[azhondagrl]

supposedly thats what the issue is...guy had put a bigger carb on, didn't have the right cap for the top of the big carb, took the throttle off, bought an odyssey and quit messing with it when he found out he needed to get a new throttle cable and cap....but like i said, we shall see.

[oldsking86]

Get it going sista! If you don't I'd like to know if you'd sell the top end of the motor ;)

Just a little TLC and you should have it running no problem

i personally was thinking i want the whole motor :lol: im not going to jump ont he poor girl and try to get parts off of her, now on the other hand IF IF IF you decide to part it then i would like dibs on the motor too.

Congrats on the new ride though and i hope you get it running. cant wait to see some pics of ya tearin it up. :w00t:

[Mr. Clean]

That is sweet, the only four wheeler I would ever want is the 250r 86-89. I know what you mean about the dunes calling you, I cannot wait until May and Coos Bay. Post some pics from your first ride when you get it straightened out.

[azhondagrl]

lol dammit, I just got why you are saying that. i'm an idiot, ahahhahahahha.

man you guys are ruthless, haven't even gotten the thing home yet and ya'll are already askin for parts.:crazy: hahaha.

[okieRrider]

Nice find stef, looks like it'll make a good bike. Get the bugs worked out and don't forget to take the camera when she's done.

[4cylinders]

hey, go see Kasey, he may already have a solution.

[Dammit!]

lol dammit, I just got why you are saying that. i'm an idiot, ahahhahahahha.



A little slow today, eh? :lol:

[azhondagrl]

he kept the big carb, i took the stock carb. thts what i was gonna put on it anyways.

but my question is, I didn't see a spring in it....can I use a spring out of any other round slide carb or does it have to be out of the exact same carb?

[Mrs.Mosh]

Awesome.If I ever were to get another quad it would be a 250r for sure, or maybe a 92 lt 250r.

[TravEX]

Congrats on the find! Looks good!

i considered the lt's, but i didn't like the way azsuzukigrl rolled off my tongue. :lol:

[smokinwrench]

Looks good, I bet you can ride forever with a tank that big.

Isn't the stock a flat slide like a 86 ATC 250R?

[Mrs.Mosh]

I saw you in the dune video. You are gonna rip that R up:cool: Glad you got another bike

We use to have a beautiful 92 LT250r for a minute. Wish we had never sold it. But, we got a nice coin for it and my brother in law has it now, so I can still see it and ride it. That bike bite him with the Suzuki bug. He picked up a 88 LT 500 and totally restored it. The thing IS show room condition. He just looks at that one.:drool: :drool:

[SWIGIN]

nice r

as long as the spring fits in the cap like its supposed to and its long enough to close the slid its ok

[scooterroo]

badass ride there azhondagrl, always liked them trx250r's, someday i just will have to own one myself.

[azhondagrl]

yeah its a flat slide, dammit...so wait then is there no spring? i'm used to the round slides....either way their is no slide. lol. Here are some cleaner pics...Kinda gave it the once over.
Has a K&N filter, full PRM skid plates(swing arm and engine plates are off for cleaning in the pic) on the whole thing, was caked with sand so they duned it last, had to pry the petcock open but now it turns on and off just fine, nice case saver and brake reservoir covers, pull cord kill switch, old school maeir rear disc gaurd, and a clarke desert tank.

[r00sty]

just part it out, that motor, just sell it and get a 125 Honda clone, better yet, sell the motor to these wolves for like 5000, and go buy another bike...:lol:

[azhondagrl]

sounds good to me. MOTOR AND TOP END FOR SALE!!!!! lol. =)

[smokinwrench]

It sure did clean up good. So have you been checking it over?

[scooterroo]

like i said before nice trx, even better looking cleaned up. what size tank is on that thing? looks to be in awesome shape for an 87, great score!!! nice to see a lady on a quad or trike, but nothing like a lady on a "2stroke" bad ass bike like that. enjoy it.

[Greiver430x]

Nice 250r:w00t: , I always wanted one myself. Think that ill have to get one for my next project.

the tank holds 4 gallons....should work well for longer rides I've normally had to take gas for. =)
