    New Guy has some questions

    Hey-Im new here and would like to get some info. One of my frinds has a 83 ATC 250(smoker)that hes going to sell to me for $500.It does run and its strong. Im wondering where I can buy new plastics and aftermarket parts. I have no experience with 3-wheelers but I do with dirtbikes.(I have a 97 RM125). Im mainly going to take it to the dunes. Thanks for any responses!!

    Ebay should pretty much have anything you need, lets see some pics if ya can.

    If you can't fix it with a , its an electrical problem.

    85 ATC 200s--Ratted out and not running at the moment

    86 ATC 200x--All stock other than the handle bars

    85 ATC 250es Big Red -- Just got new rubbers and she wants to ride!!

    04 Suzuki LTZ250 quadsport - It was a decent price and I'm a raging idiot.

    A good place to get parts is Denniskirk.com or Rockymountainatv.com. By a smoker do you mean a 2 stroke like a 250R or a 4 stroke like a 250ES that smokes? if its a 250R then I'd pounce on it

    I know DG makes the pipes and silencers for the air cooled R's, thats what I have on my 83, their isn't as much of a selection as if it were an 85 or 86, but I do know you can at least still buy new DG's for the air coolers. I think 500 is a great deal especially if it runs strong! lets see some pictures

    here is my 83R, i bought it for 500 as well, I put the DG pipe and silencer on their, the seat, and some other things but for the most part it had good plastics and ran well..
