I bought this bike as a basket case with a blown top end. After a year long complete frame off restoration, my '89 LT250R starts for the first time. This is a fresh top end punch .80 over.
When I seated my rings on my quadracer my dad just told me to go slow and shift a lot to seat it good, he is the one who did mine and knows a lot about mechanics, so I trusted him. And it runs like a raped ape :D
it just seems 87 was a great year for all dirt bikes and quads..i have 2 87' quad sport 230's they run great compression release, clutch,reverse, the whole bit...then i have a 87 YZ250 runs like new..had a 87 CR 500 that ran forever..i just haven't had any problems with that year a bike, no matter the brand..this is a sweet machine man..wow..
@Alcopolo buy twist throttle, every single quad comes stock with thumb throttle's if they have twist, its what the previous rider preferred

Jesus Dad, dont REV it...
the rings need to seat, ya know break in, all you should be doing is start w/ no throttle and let it idle 20-25 min...then completely cool
rinse and repate that process 5 times, then for 1st 3 FULL tankns of gas drive it 1/3 throttle ranging position, never more than that ammount.
Thats how u break an engine in. DONTREV
And quit freaking out, thats just how they act after a rebuild, you odnt need to mess w/ idle yet or maybe not at all, you need to jet it probably
