Okay guys, I have an LT250r 86 and it runs great I have owned it for the past 2 years. I am the second owner and the first owner babied this LT. Since I have owned it I have riden the $h!t out of it. The LT has been running great and hasn't given me one problem "Until today" While in Glamis my motor started making a real loud noise. Sounds like you can hear the piston running up in down in the jug. I am thinking it is time to freshen the top end up. I have clocked my LT250r in the dirt at 62mph I am sure they go faster but I thought that was pretty good for this 86 LT250r. the noise that is coming from the motor do you guys tink it is the top end asking to be bored? I checked compresion and it is at 125 psi. Never the less it just started making the noise. I checked the coolint and it is fine I am thinking it is the piston smacking the cylinder wall. In wich case it would need to be bored out. Or is there something else I might not be seeing? Give me your thoughts.
