Hi guys!

Would anyone happen to know if there are any websites purely relating to Suzuki's LT-50?

I can't find anything on this wee quad, other than commercial quad dealers trying to sell them.

Many thanks for any help that may get posted here.

Chris,

Yeah, I know what ya mean - there seems to be ZIP available for the little LT - lots for the 80 though.

Would anyone know if the LT-50 engine is used in any other applications? Model ID's etc..?

not 100% sure on this, but I would say the odds are good that it's the same motor that's been used in the JR50 for the last 20 years or so

I've got one from a '78 JR50 apart in the basement right now..

Guys,

I had our LT back in the dealer yesterday since it had been running a bit crappy and is still under warranty.

I asked them about improving its performance a bit, and what could be done.

So, they took the carb off, gave it a clean out and drilled out some restrictor that was in there - it SEEMS to have improved things a little bit (I think, but the last time I saw our LT running it wasn't running too good) and sounds like its revving a bit higher.

Anyone else tried this?

This should help, Raptor 720 has been very helpfull to many folks with mini's.

the new lt-80's, and 50's too (I think), come with a throttle limiter in the carb. remove the top of the carb, and pull the slide & spring out. inside the spring there is a piece of plastic that keeps the slide from going all the way up. remove it for more performance. I jerked apart my 97 lt-80, and there wasn't one in it. but a 2001 model at the suzuki dealer near me had one in the carb.

I wonder if the bolt pattern on the wheels is the same? if so, you could go wider for very little money.

I remember way back in the day , when a bunch of guys i knew used to ride lt 80s, One of them took the baffels out of the exhaust and after that it was able to beat my trx125 (which i owned at the time) but theywere extremely loud.

no.......i tried that......they sent me the wrong tire kit at christmas time,,,i wanted the kit for the trx90 and got the lt80..the hubs on the 50 are way smaller and so is the pattern.....

and as far as the restrictors go i did not know about the one possibly in the carb,,but have already checked for the one in the exhaust header.......which was not there,,,anywho it hauls me around very well on the flat stuff......and i weigh 225..so needless to say i do not ride it much
