The things people watching sometimes don't realize or see... we make it look easy but there are almost always hours and hours of work you don't see. Good video man 👌
You need to build a quad racer! I know you’ve said you’ve built them as a kid but it would be cool seeing you rebuild one, you have some sick builds and I know you’d have a nice one.
when working on diesel engines we always keep something close that will block the air flow into the intake in case of a runaway situation. Never really thought about it with a 2 stroke but obviously not a bad idea. Good video
Good job on the resto man!! I’m looking for a good project ‘92 LT250R to do the same thing. Having a hard time locating one. Do you happen to know of any?
I've been there! My bike has been "complete" for about a month now and I am still working the gremlins out. I cant wait to check out the builds and do some riding with everyone! See you out there!
appears to be B8ES...I would start with lower heat range B9 and only go hotter if fouling plugs. But I never could run the ES plugs long and always had to use the OEM recommended expensive EV iridium tips to avoid untimely failures.
Yes, that was pretty much all I had available at the time. I need to educate myself better on spark plugs actually. Would be good to learn the each digits meaning on the spark plug code. You familiar with them?
@@jaegersracing B= 14mm THREAD X 13/16" HEX, (R) CONSTRUCTION IS RESISTOR TYPE PLUG AND IS IRRELEVANT FOR YOUR APPLICATION, 9 IS HEAT RANGE AND HIGHER NUMBER IS COLDER, E = 19mm (3/4") REACH, S = FIRING END CONSTRUCTION AND THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE, AFTER THAT IS A GAP NUMBER IF EVEN SHOWN....sorry about the caps
That’s a really good idea. Unfortunately the 1st gens won’t fit on the 3rd gen. Because the were meant to go in front of the shock as opposed to behind and the mounts and everything are all different.
Yeah, I really have no clue what’s going on there. Motor came from a second gen LT250r and bolted right up. I never would have though there’d be that much difference, but apparently there is!
Im really liking your content man and this has been an amazing build. I've been around quads and bikes 30+ years now and can't ever remember seeing a rear bumper like that one, gotta say its a sweet touch no doubt!! Keep em coming bro🍻 Btw the first start was definitely an unexpected moment lol, luckily it wasn't a worse outcome.
I used to heat cycle the motor some with no antifreeze first to try and seat the gaskets...a good idea? maybe... if you are careful. With a cool head that uses o-rings, this would not be necessary.
Good to hear brother. Beautiful bike you got there. Building my own 89 Lt250r and gathering knowledge anywhere I can. Thanks for the vids. They help a lot. Best of luck to ya brotha man.
I’ve got to commend you on an awesome build!! That thing is going to be a blast to ride. I do have a question though... who makes the secondary radiator and air scoop? I would love to run one on my banshee.
Feel bad for your dieseling start up...but it seems like you knew better and have been there. Kill switch and pulling plug boot is not gonna help as I also found out. Best to up shift into a high gear and dump the clutch (preferably while holding the brakes) requires a shifter, chain on sprockets, clutch cable attached. Opening the full throttle like you did also works. And lastly I suspect if you had put your hand over that carb boot it might have choked it, so it could not pull more gas through the carb, but I never tried that trick. Waiting for the bowl to empty of gas is no fun...lol. Probably, lucky the stator cover was off. I used to put lapping compound on the shaft to lap the stator and mate it to it by rotating it by hand. The magneto flywheel spinning forever and sparking while traveling all over the garage was funny as hell though. Never seen that happen before!
At least the rings didnt fall off the piston and hopefully it's not to scored or melted in there ??? It would have ran richer with an oil filter attached to the carb. You can also get angled pod air filters that might clear your shock....
It was quite the experience haha! In a previous video, I was even talking about how you should properly prepare for the first start up by assuring your clutch lever/cable, shifter, chain, and brakes are all good to go because it’s the best way to kill it in the event of dieseling. Then I went and rushed a first start-up because I was out of time haha. Engine ended up being totally fine!
Ever look an FMF Universal Turbine Core 2 spark arrested kit? the larger 1 1/4" for 500cc motor would slide over stinger and possible give more adjustment possibility...I recommend it for 87-90 LT owners. Really you needed a silencer made to fit though. I remember the pressure to finish the build before the riding trips though and the creative compromises that would just have to do despite how they looked.
You could also have turned / rotated the expansion chamber to make the stinger land outside the frame? Then make custom mounts. But I suspect at that point it would have interference with the fender...I rode mine without fenders once....lol
Very well-said! I can tell that you’ve definitely been around the block with the Quadracers! That’s a really good idea with the zilla silencer. They’re quite a bit longer, but I could always take some length off. Will definitely have to experiment a bit! Great input!
@@jaegersracing The FMF Universal kit is a silencer that is separate from the included pipe that has a few bents so you can rotate to desired position and cut it to any length if desired, google some pics...
Is that even a question haha?? …It’s actually a good question since both bikes currently are still not done haha. Definitely hoping to get riding videos though!
@@jaegersracing Hell yeah i am def looking forward to seeing the up coming vids. I know how hard it is to balance work and then work on my suzuki's but adding video editing on top of it lol.. Keep on the grind man.. #SaveAllTheSuzuki's
It’s definitely not ideal. If I can’t get it sealed up and protected properly then I might get crafty with an old airbox and modify it to fit around the silencer. Running an open filter with an outer wears on it is common though.
@@jaegersracing I was thinking about it if it was mine I would pop the rivets and move the shock mount back like 3 inches which may be too much but that’s how I was thinking it out in my head for a non airbox filter
Oh yeah, loft tour! That QuadRacer hybrid build looks awesome. Oh, and that rear bumper is unheard of these days! Those were great if you're stuck uphill or downhill because you're grabbing from a lower center of gravity. As far as your exhaust situation, my dumbass on any other build would've put a foam tube filter out, and slip the sock over it for the dunes....but this is not an ordinary build, and deserves way better. That sucks not being able run that awesome air-box. I see an exterior exhaust re-route to snake around that frame in the near future. Also don't sweat it, even the best make mistakes. I've seen way worse happen and besides, no catastrophic failures like a seize, cracked piston, rod ejection, shrapnel, or missing fingers. Hope the dunes have been a blast, and that it all went smooth.
Really appreciate the comment! Yes, I plan to do some 1-on-1’s with some of the bikes in the future! Now that I’m back from the dunes, I’ll be able to give much more time and attention to getting the bikes dialed in. The airbox problem will get solved along with that!
