1987 Suzuki Quadracer LT500R

[CARNZ]

I always said I wouldn't sell this, and I still don't want to.

I got my official acceptance paperwork for UMBC today, and the cost is incredible!

I feel it will be my best to get rid of this quad and put money towards school, which is more imporant than an ATV every day of the week.

Heres the info on this quad.

I am the 3rd owner, I just jumped thru hoops for 4 months getting the proper information to get a DCNR title and aside from writing the check and mailing it off, all the leg work is finished.

This is an early 1987, built in 8/1986, the 87's are different because they have the 6-bolt heads with the big reed 5-bolt intakes, they are known to make more power than the 88-90s throughout the whole rev range.

The engine was last bored in 1992 and is down to about 135psi, I WILL bore to next size (+1.5mm) with a fresh Wiseco Piston if someone buys this quad. These cylinders can go all the way to +3.0mm on stock sleeve.

Modifications:
Fresh Maier White Front and Rear Plastics
Fresh OEM Blue Hood
Fresh DDRSLAPP 1987 Reproduction Decal Set
Douglas .125 Front Wheels with Dunlop Tires
Douglas .190 Rear Wheels with ITP Holeshots
Rebuilt all 3 brake calipers, and fitted new pads all the way around.
Lonestar Racing Rear E-Brake Delete
New OEM Front Master Cylinder
New OEM Thumb Throttle Assembly with Motion Pro Cable
Keihin PWK38 Air Striker Carburetor with a TON of Pro-X Jets
Just Installed Boyesen Dual-Stage Reeds
Fresh UNI Air Filter
Billet Piston Thrust Washers
Primary Drive 14Tooth Front Sprocket
S.B. Designs "500" Case Saver and Sprocket Cover
Primary Drive 40Tooth Rear Sprocket
D.I.D 520 ATV Racing Gold X-Ring Chain
OURY Blue Grips
AAEN Performance Version 1 Midrange Pipe painted Graphite Bronze
FMF Turbinecore Spark Arrestor
Mildly Ported Cylinder
TUSK Anodized Blue Gas Cap
TUSK HD Clutch Kit

Misc Parts/Spares [uninstalled]
DDRSLAPP Black Rear Fender Number Plate Decals
OURY Blue Grips (my extra set, still in packaging)
OEM Suzuki Standard Bore Piston and Rings {brand new, was going to use on a nikasiled cylinder}
TUSK Carburetor Hose (3 feet)
Extra Air Filter Cage with old UNI Filter installed(bought spare so I could swap filters quickly)



I don't have much else to say about it, this things a monster! I'm sure you're all aware of its status in the ATV world, it gets attention everytime I ride it, and all the 4-joke kids learn about it quickly hehehe.


If you are seriously interested, shoot me a message on here. I will say I am reluctant to let it go for under $3300, owning a Zilla is a labor of love(this thing is 24 years old!).

Damn I'd take it now if I was close to you, I'm in Michigan not really looking to make that much of a drive but I've been shopping for
One.

Your price is honestly kinda low from what I've been seeing, somebody should buy this quick, and if I was u I'd be asking a little more.

I have it listed for more on Craigslist. and actually after looking at my original post I realized I put $3000 instead of $3300.

I definately wont sell it for less and I'm not taking trades. I've gotten a ton of emails from CL with peolle offering me junk lol

87 is also the best year for the 250r, I got a 88 with a 87 engine.


Carnz might take some time but I wouldn't budge on the price either. Seems like the zillas are going up in value the past few years, they are only going to become more rare and more desirable. Ive even seen these going high on eBay and people shipping them across country. My mechanic sold his built lt250r to somebody in Hawaii and they paid rediculous shipping.
