Since I cant get a sled or dirt bike, I want another quad. I am looking into 2003-2006 Blasters and 1990-1992 LT's. I ride flat drags, jumps, snow, ice racing, and wheelies. Which is better for the stuff I like to do? Also, which is easier to maintain? This would be a winter project for next winter. Thanks

The LT is faster, and older, parts will be more difficult to find. The Blaster is more durable and easier to maintain.

I owned both a while back. The LT is faster than the Blaster like posted above. The Blaster is a good reliable bike, but keep in mind it is NOT a top end bike., they don't like to be held wide open for long .Blaster's have great low end & a desent mid. The LT is more of a track bike While the Blaster is very happy in the woods.

Trx 250R more reliable than the blaster and faster than the lt 250 get the 88 and up better compression

If you were to find a blaster for $500 or so and install a 240 kit for $700 or so and a larger carb (not sure on the price $150?) You would have a strong runnin blaster. Might hang with some of the 250r's. Just my .02

I will never put a big-bore kit on any quad I get. It isnt good for the motor. Vito's does make that kit, it says it doubles the power. I wont be able to find a Blaster that is 2003-2006 for $500. The TRX's are so cool, just alot more expensive. I would mostly be riding the quad I get on the track, dunes, drags, and no woods.

I've seen trx250rs for 1000$ bone stock be patient and look around, if you keep the bore to 2mm they are still very reliable. A 310 kit on a 250r done by ct racing is very reliable, who does the bore is also something to consider

Would a Blaster be a good mx quad? I have been looking on Craigslist for 1-1/2 year. I really like thepowester's LT250R.

Only if you upgrade the motor & you already you said you dont want to BB it & the suspension will need some work. Stock Blasters are bout 17-19HP. Put a pipe , Filter, & Jet it right.Then P&P the cylinder & a few other tricks & secret's but you won't be at the power level of a good 250R, either brand
The LT or better yet TRX 250R would be a great MX quad with a little work.Blasters are a great woods bike..

Where I live, there arent any trails within 80 miles. I decided to ride in a 5 acre woods and I got going in 4th pretty good and a deer jumped out in front of me, I havent been riding in the woods since. I am pretty set on a 250 of some sort.

 

[rappy'97]

Here is the one I have been checking out. I would have to take him down on the price a little. This is the nicest one I have saw on C's List.

That is a nice clean looking bike as far as Suzuki's go...
Best of luck to ya..Ow ya , to bad about your deer incounter. I have been ridding woods for more than 20 year's & never had a deer incounter like that, a few dog's but never a deer..

I am kind of nervous to be getting a 2-stroke. I know nothing about them.

 

[686cc]

found one for you http://flint.craigslist.org/mcy/2166513323.html much much better looking

 

[rappy'97]

You really think that looks better? I have looked at every 250 2-stroke quad in Michigan on Craigslist. Look at one in Northern MI, it is for sale for $3,500, it is a TRX.

You should have hit one, turn you quad on it's side, cut a steak out of it, and fry it on your exhaust. Nice and fresh. J/K
