Jump on a stock quad for a while then back on yours. You get used to the power and handleing and is becomes routine to ride it.

Looks pretty sick to me, drop the front sprocket 1 tooth that should give some more balls down low. I do feel like this some times too.

I was going to suggest a sprocket change also. Have you rode a 450? I am in love with my LTR Never a dull moment.

I gotta say, I've never been there, never felt like that. I LOVE riding, anthing. Even after riding my 340PV, I can still jump on a bone-stock 250X and have a ball!!

Really, the only time I ever get bored is when I'm riding some combo that just doesn't work, and then it's not so much boredom as it is frustration. My 340 hates tight trails and rocks, it gets angry, it bogs, sputters, and I can't open it up to let it clean itself out without endangering myself because of the terrain, or losing the rest of my party. It's like trying to ride a utility quad on a motocross track, it just doesn't work, it's frustrating.

But bored with the quad? Never been there, I love it.

Same here. About 5 years ago, I hadn't riden anything in years. I ran across a guy selling a little 8hp gocart with balloon tires and bought it for $200. It was a POS, but we found some trails behind my bros place, and we were OUT THERE. After a few months, my bro bought a 250 Recon and thats how we rolled. We both have nicer rides now, but we had just as much fun then as now.

Still have that old gocart too. It's pretty beat from all the abuse we gave it, but we're gonna fix it up for the kids.

I went down a tooth on the rear sprocket and put 18s
On it now...

I've been thinkin alot about puttin a 4poke in there but it's way more to work rebuild... I would like to be able do a swap from a250r to a 426 or 450.... It might have to deal with the bs at school... I just had prom and it was a total joke..

I've been told that the motor I have I could make it be awsome but what do you do to it?

the motor is port and polished by LRD im running LRD's exhaust.... i think its the big bore pipe from them... and i have a boyseen rad valve... PWK 38mm and theres a factory 304 sound scilencer on it from pro circut... i hate mix maching exhaust systems and stuff... i like it all LRD or PT but my LRD scilencer is missing the center part of it to repack it...
as far as a bore and strok im un sure.. it was a support team motor from duncan and they had a PC2000 on it but took it off before i got it so i wasnt able to use it... so right now i have a stock cyl... heres a pic of it...

Looks good! I know how it feels when you getted bumed about things but then I think of how lucky I am to be physically able to just ride a quad. I dont care if some one is on a brand new or beat up quad or dirtbike. Its the fact that they share the feeling of the experience of riding, a common bond among men. I know its hard but just think of your blessings. My lil bro has some physical challenges that will never allow him to ride a dirtbike but he does ride a hopped up polaris scrammy 400. Shifting can be a prob sometimes for him so this quad is great for him. I know he gets down sometimes to but then we talk about a friend of mines nephew who loves bikes and quads but is strapped to a chair because of MS. If he even wants to sit on one we have to hold him while he does. If someones downs on what you have, even if its your parents, tell them its better than nothing and it makes you happy. Also remember IT COULD BE WORSE! So in closing I want to say thank you god for what you have given me.

honestly if your not happy with the 250r motor find you a nice used crf 450 motor and put in that bioch and rip the "NEW" 450s a new arsehole

That quad is rediculous, drop the front cog-a-tooth and hold on for grim death.

Not sure how you fall outta love with a 250r, especially a fully loaded one!!!:blah: :blah: :blah:

as simple as this..the new wave of 450s are nice but anyone can ride a 4poke tug monster there dont get me wrong cause you can lug them and not as much rev and clutch slipping..but still a stock frame quad....look at wwhat you have dude a arm ripping monster when you get it running right...ask any pro what they would rather race and garuntee most will tell you a old trusty 250r chassis

yeah... i'm feelin better now... but it still drives me nuts... i need a no link like mine and i cant find one...my rear shock is toast as well... uhhh...

thanks guys... i know what you mean by im blessed... i hope and pray every time that i dont have something happen to me... becuase my mom hates the fact that im ridin right no anyway... thats one thing i hope for... but some time i just accept the thing that happen...

i was watchin a podcast on Jeremy Lusk... and i had a buddy who had a really nasty crash and messed his legs up the bones came through the skin and all that and i was the one that was right behind him and i was the first one to help him... anyways i couldnt understand why this happened just like alot of us cant understand why things happen... i didnt know what to do... i was really affraid to ride for a bit after that now im fine... but in that pod cast there was a guy and he said that he couldnt under stand the same as me and he said that theres a vers from proverbs? 3-5 "trust in the lord with all your heart and not rely on your own understandings" and i've kinda banked offed that for a while...

its just annoing.. i think the reason why im like this is because i dont know what to do..

thanks alot guys... it helped alot...


i dont know if i would want a CRF if they are anything like a TRX... i HATE the TRX they dont lug at all...
