Lt500-ltr450 conversion?

[vroomy]

Has anyone put a lt500 2stroke motor in a ltr450 yet? Been thinking for a while about wanting to do one but not sure if it would be a easy swap, just though I'd check to see if anyone out there has done it or at least tried

[cdrookie]

believe it's been done but A LOT of work required. the quadracer site had info on one if i remember correctly.

[trx/lt500r]

lots of work....
Not sure if it was ever completed on quadracer forum. If it was, i would like to see one.

-Swingarm bolt larger than 500 engine. Modify engine or modify frame/swinger for smaller bolt.
-Rear shock linkage would have to be relocated for lt500 intake, and i mean completly relocated.

Would also love to see this done! I've always though what it would take to do a RM250 swap into a LTR450.

I imagine the Hybrid forums on here would be best for more information.

I never even thought of that, a late model RM250 would be even better! Hopefully someone with fabricating skills sees this thread and gets thinking.....

Exactly, Late model RM250 engine and call it the LT-RM250 w/ the old school blue colored frame and yellow plastics.

the lt500 motor fits much better in a z-400 frame. on a lt450 the rear shock mount makes it about impossible to get the carb-aif filter etc. set up.

just what I read on quadracerhq

do a google search for zelda and it should find a you tube of the z400 lt500 hybrid

I believe I saw a 250R motor in an LTR frame somewhere. From what I remember it was almost bolt-on compatible, except for finding an exhaust of course.
