Title: 86 TRX250 "Utility" Post by: Fox17 on September 14, 2007, 11:13:20 AM Well, i finally got all the parts i needed. I had to replace the rear differential and the drive boot (caused the whole thing). I also had to take the back brakes out cause they were stuck. I have new front pads on the way to get the fronts working better. I painted the whole frame, engine and all flat black. then I painted the fenders camo. It has 25" Dunlop tires from a Kawasaki something. I put a snorkel on it too. It has no exhaust muffler either (its loud). I made the whole thing waterproof up to bout where my helmet will be. Here are a few pics during the process:

Would a 6.5 hp self propelled lawnmower tickle you fancy? im not selling it. it was the first bike i ever had. :-\ money talks though. j/k. i wouldnt sell it for less than a grand and no one would pay that for it. i might not even sell it for that much. Title: Re: 86 TRX250 "Utility" Post by: 94Hardbody4x4 on September 14, 2007, 03:16:20 PM I will bet you off the line the lawnmower will win. Consider it a race?
Title: Re: 86 TRX250 "Utility" Post by: Fox17 on September 14, 2007, 03:28:43 PM it wouldnt be much of a race. them lawn mowers are scary fast. i dont mess with them. lol.
seriously, if it was a riding mower, i bet it would. when you let off the clutch on my grandmas it spins the tires lunges forward. if its in gear 5 or 6. its a yard machine by ltd or somethin.

that thing had enough torque to yank down a pine tree that was half-cut through, but about 3' wide at the base. then pulled it around the yard in Ocala once it was down. Id@ |
