Trying To Break The CHEAPEST Top End Piston and Cylinder Kit Installed On a Quad. Will It Hold Up?

I take the 2003 Trailblazer 250cc with the cheapest top end kit installed on it and give it a test ride. I go as hard as I can, and try to really break it in to see if the kit can hold up. Will the cheapest top end piston and cylinder kit hold up? #Polaris, #Test, #Cheapest,

Well if you ran KLOTZ 2 stroke oil then you'd know if it was getting any by the exhaust smell because I had one of these and it was like brand new and they don't smoke at all really but it was getting proper oil mixture 🤷‍♂️

I also spent the few bucks and had my clutch rebuilt and wow did that make a huge difference lol it would creep forward at idle and could actually lift the front end after she got rebuilt and it didn't cost me barely anything!

I had a 2006ish that I got brand new, I must have had 800+ hours on the top end without ever doing maintenance. I’m now a Maintenance freak, but seriously, that Fourwheeler would Not die. It was either wide open throttle or full brake application 24/7 too! Unreal

That’s probably the cleanest trailblazer 250 I’ve seen. The one I had was in really rough shape and it didn’t run, ended up trading it for a 2001 cr80. You should try a trail boss 250. Almost the same thing but I think the trail boss was a little bit more torquey. I had one and it was a nice little bike. Not sure of the year though I don’t think I ever looked it up.

@theredneckgarage1493 2 жыл бұрын

I think it was a 1996, not too sure. But rumor has it the trail boss is supposed to go around 54-55.

I just put a niche top end on my Polaris xplorer 400 which is pretty much the same thing. I have found that the ring gap is too tight, which is why on the top speed run it is seizing up . Same thing happens to me and I am just trying to break it in before I do the full speed runs . Either way the hubs are leaking and I can't ..polaris sucks the more I work on them I find I spend too much time working on them .

I know a diehard Honda guy and he says these things were meant to ride and hard to kill. I recently just got my first quad and it's a 98 trail boss, an old guy had it then the kid I got it from. The kid I guess tried drifting it with the chain way to loose and it smacked a hole in the gear case when it broke so we are having to fix that before i get to ride this thing. Already did the seal because it sat for awhile. Ol boy told me to apparently it's got a new top end no idea what brand but it's only got 8 hours on it. I'm beyond excited!
