The most visible change is in the frame right in front of the cylinder the 85-86 frame has a single down bar, but the '87+ has a single wishbone down-tube. The major changes were in the frame, engine, swingarm, and a-arms. "The beaner year", many different changes occurred within this production year, sometimes making parts hard to match up. It also had a very slight modification to the decals, and had white letters on the seat spelling "Suzuki" instead of yellow letters used in '85. Mostly the same as 1985 but with a Mikuni VM34SS carburetor. Independent, double wishbone, oil damped, spring 5-way adjustableįull-Floating suspension system, spring pre-load 4-way adjustable Liquid-cooled, single cylinder, two-stroke In 85 the Suzuki LT250R QuadRacer became the first high-performance four-wheeler (They were actually lighter than the Yamaha Tri-Z, slightly heavier than the Kawasaki Tecate 3, and identical in weight to the Honda ATC250R.) The '85 and '86 Quadracers are known as the lightest production full size race quads ever built, tipping the scales at only 293 lbs dry making them similar to the 250cc two stroke race three wheelers of that era. But the overall advantage in weight (compared to most other quads) is the simplicity of design. In an apparent attention to weight by engineers, it came with many aluminum parts: swing arm, rear axle carrier, engine cases, front spindles, rear shock link.
