This is part 1 of Project LT250r. I hope you enjoy!
I had no intentions of ever filming this build, but I realized that there might be some people out there that really want to see it. I’ve been building bikes for 10 years, you can see some of them behind me in the video. I realized over the years there’s a lot of information that I take for granted. This channel is to help educate and share with you guys some of what I’ve learned over the years. So, back to the build. This is going to be a ground up build. Well, kind of. I had actually already stripped this bike completely down, restored basically all of the components and then built it back into a roller. I then realized that I should probably film some of it, so I then tore it back down to the components you saw in the first picture. Like and subscribe if you appreciate me tearing apart a perfect bike! I will be sharing with you the build up of what you see in front of you, but there’s a handful of more intricate parts that have already been rebuilt that I decided not to tear back down just for the sake of this video. Those are things like the motor, shocks, brake calipers, swing arm linkages, etc. If you guys are interested in a true 100% restoration video one day then let me know you’re out there by commenting on this video.
This bike is one I’ve been excited about building for a very long time. My excitement for this project stemmed from the ambition to try and make one of the best stock-framed 250 QuadRacers I possibly could. When it came to choosing the year of bike to build, I had a handful of options. Suzuki built the LT250r from 1985 to 1992. 1992 being the most flamboyant year for sure as far as graphics, but also boasted a couple upgrades over the previous years. The 1992 250 QuadRacer is defined as part of the third generation of 250 QuadRacer. The first generation was from 1985 to 1986 the second generation was from 87 to 90, and the third generation 91 to 92. Because of all of the upgrades to the 250 QuadRacer over the years and the redesigned rear suspension system on the 3rd generations, I decided that a gen 3 was the platform I wanted to build off of for this build and I chose the 92 over the 91 because, mechanically they’re identical and, though it was close, 92 was definitely the boldest in the looks department.
To build this bike up to what I had envisioned, it meant rounding up parts for quite a while until I had, what in my mind, was the best of the best stuff everywhere. This list includes, but is not limited to an iconic Duncan racing front bumper, OMF bead lock wheels, new Maier race-cut yellow fenders, brand new OEM hood and hood cap, a mint original 92 camo seat, lonestar steering stem, FTZ- ported motor to pair with their gigantic FTZ pipe, rebuilt works shocks all the way around, lonestar - 1 swing arm for MX racing, durablue axle, and 4x110 aluminum hubs for the 26 splined axle. (Side note, lt250r’s switched spline count on their axles in 1989 from 24 splined axles to 26 splined axles.). That is a good chunk of the list. I decided on these full-flight a arms because of the aesthetics. I’ve never had an issue with Full flight a arms and I really wanted the thicker tube aesthetic for this build. I think they look awesome! When it came to powder coating, I went with a 2-stage anodized blue which required a chrome base layer and a translucent blue top coat for the frame, springs, a-arms, swing arm, etc. I won’t get into too many more details right now, but again, if you want to see a true 100% ground up build, then let me know you’re out there by commenting. I hope you enjoy the video!
