250r frame question

[denn]

Is there any difference at all between an 85 and an 86 250r frame? Was the rake changed or anything else changed?

Thanks Denn

I believe the only change was the rake. Not 100% on that though. GREG

there is small differences, gas tank mounts aren't as thick, the enigne cradle is stronger, tail light mounts are on the frame on 85's, peg height on 86's is 1/2" lower, the seat latch area on them is slightly different, nothing major excpet the rake. I think a 86 handles better
