Nice! Those side kick starters are different
Quadsport LT250S
Hey Guys,
After spending all my money on my kids '07 Z400 I had to dredge the bottom of Craigs list for a quad for me to ride. Found this one for sale locally and decided to give it a look. Wasn't in bad shape at all and for a good price.
Needs a few bearings and ball joints and the plastics are pretty cracked on the front, but hopefully something I can get welded up or at the least all
stitched up.
Previous owner hadn't run it in ten years and it looked like it. Cleaned it up and tossed some gas in it and it started right up and ran great...then leaked
gas all over the place as I expected it to. Might just keep the teardown going and have it powder coated over the winter.

Talked to the wife about it and she is all for me restoring it. Guess she is used to it with
all the John Deere garden tractors I restored. Plus if I put less than $2K in it she is good
with that as it is better than spending $7K on a new one.

Started the tear down this week. Everything looks pretty good underneath. Have to find out if I can repack the stock exhaust. Also have to try my kids Z400 muffler on it as it looks like it has the same bend to it.
Found a good place to do the powder coating locally so all is good.
The new plastics have shipped and should be here on Monday.

Got the new front and rear fender today. Now to order the hood and tank cover. Hopefully the same place has them in stock as well.

Well I'm not very fast at this. Got quite a bit done today before it got too cold in the garage. What was left of the swing arm bearing was unrecognizable.
I also think I have a couple of oil leaks in the engine....Not surprised.
Looks like I'll have to tear that down as well and get new gaskets for it.
Bob Tracey's had the discontinued decals in stock...luckily for me.

A slow process, but I got it powder coated finally. I of course forgot a few of the smaller pieces and have to get them done this week, but it is looking good for now.

Got more done, but just waiting to work on the motor still. Lots of other projects got in the way both on my end and my brothers.
Hopefully in Jan I can get the motor back in.
