I Bought A 1988 Suzuki LT250R | Will It Run?

[@fromex2lsturbo]

Lots of good advice on here.. timing dots were not lined up on mine when I got it.. missing bottom motor mount bolt.. I think you have a solid machine there!

[@CKPowersports]

@fromex2lsturbo thanks. It's always a roll of the dice when you buy something not running. I've definitely been burned on some in the past that had some hidden issues.

[@coltonensey6129]

Now that's an attractive looking four-wheeler

[@CKPowersports]

@@coltonensey6129 I wish it was the original yellow and blue colors still

[@evanwilliams2602]

Maybe the counter balancer is not in time causing high vibrations

[@CKPowersports]

@evanwilliams2602 I'm not sure. It felt a little better after I ran it more. My tri z vibrates a good amount too.

Water pump mechanical seal is gone easy fix…. Just an fyi Bolt holding Impeller is Reverse threaded

[@CKPowersports]

@eduardomachin6658 good to know. That's kind of what I expected too

[@72mmALKYDRAGGIN]

Is the vibration the counter balance not timed correctly??

[@CKPowersports]

@72mmALKYDRAGGIN i never tore into it that far. After riding it some more it didn't seem as noticeable.

[@brianmoorehead8613]

What size was the jet that broke.

[@CKPowersports]

@brianmoorehead8613 oh, I don't quite remember that one.

[@evanwilliams2602]

That motor is a 6peed

[@CKPowersports]

@evanwilliams2602 I didn't realize that. I never even tried to go past 5th.

[@evanwilliams2602]

@@CKPowersports the older 85-86 models were 5 speeds the 87-92. 6 speed, I’m in the middle of a resto of a 92 myself, would love to see more videos of you riding it,and do yourself a favor and hit 6 gear next time 🤣

[@CKPowersports]

@evanwilliams2602 absolutely. I thought it needed a little more top speed

[@marykruse6559]

*First* thing you to do is remove that lovely sticker. 🙄

@@marykruse6559 you didn't like the f it sticker?
