The airbox looks good! Glad your shocks are finally coming… I know how long you’ve been waiting on them. That’s really bizarre on your engine temps - I’ve never heard of anyone running too cold like this before.
My first quad build Trx250r
New to the forum and will be building my first quad to use as a backup bike / all around play bike for the desert, mountains and sand-dunes for the wife and I. I currently ride a Ktm 300xc and wife rides a kx100 and it’s not ideal to use in sand not enough torque, small wheels and short wheel base. A week ago I picked up 2 86trx250rs pretty much complete. One with a hacked up frame and blown motor and one with an ok frame and running motor.
Running motor had 180psi compression and leak down test was performed. The jugs Base gasket had a small leak so after removal it appeared the piston had signs of a slight cold seize at one point in its life. End goal is to have an easy and comfortable bike to ride with a broad power band. So I stripped the good frame and found some repairs to make after it gets sand blasted.
