I finally got a 250r. After 10 years of going without a quad, I finally got one! It is a 1987 250r, completely stock, near mint. Well, pretty darn close to it. I wanted to keep it that way, but I think I need a little more down low. I weigh 250 Lbs. (yeah, I know). I ride mostly woods, never race, I prefer acceleration over top speed. Did I choose the wrong quad? NO WAY! 2 strokes are so much more fun to ride, and I love the R's low stance.
I wanted to get a 12t front sprocket(more power down low right?) But I can't find one online. I have checked Ronnies, Rocky Mountain, DennisKirk, and a few others. But all I find are 13,14, and 15t fronts. Why? Is a 12t a bad Idea? My gearing right now is 13/39. I really don't want a 42+ rear sprocket(the equivelant of droppin 1 tooth on the front, right?). I know there are other ways to get more power, I just want to keep it's classic beauty. And I'm poor! Thanks.
