access the air filter which was relocated due to the redesign of the rear suspension. The '91 and '92 rear plastic actually has a curved metal bar riveted under the seat to help support the plastic due to the larger void in the plastic moulding necessary to access the air filter. (Note that the original rear plastic for '85 - '90 is no longer available from Suzuki. All new rear plastic is the '91-92 style with the riveted bar under the seat.) The seats changed drastically in '87. They flare out at the rear (like a "T") while the 85-86 has a straight seat. There are also some cosmetic differences between the seats of various years. '85 had yellow hollow letters spelling "Suzuki" on the sides. In '86, they changed these letters to white. On the "T" seat in '89, they added the words "QuadRacer" to the back in white letters. In '91 and '92, they added splashes of teal all throughout the blue seat in a "camo" type of pattern. 1988–1990 LT250R J,K,L |- | Engine Type | Liquid-cooled, single cylinder, 2-stroke |- | Displacement | 246cc |- | Bore and stroke | 67.0mm X 70.0mm Compression Ratio 8.0 to 1 |- | Carburetion | Mikuni TM 34SS |- | Transmission | Manual Clutch, 6-speed |- | Starter | Primary Kick |- | Fuel Tank Capacity | 3.0 gallons |- | Wheelbase | 50.4 inches |- | Overall length | 72 inches |- | Ground Clearance | 4.9 inches |- | Front Suspension | 8.7" travel, dual shocks, preload and rebound adjustable |- | Rear Suspension | 8.7" travel, Suzuki Full Floater single shock, preload, compression, and rebound adjustable |- | Front Brakes | Dual hydraulic discs |- | Rear Brakes | Single hydraulic disc |- | Front Tires | Dunlop 21x7x10 |- | Rear Tires | Dunlop 21x10x10 |- | Final Drive | Chain |- | Dry Weight (1987-1990) | 324 lbs |- | MSRP | $3498 |} 88-92 changed from 5-bolt(87) 8-petal reed valve 6-bolt 6-petal reed valve. 1991–1992 LT250R M,N The 1991 model year brought about a different linkage in the rear suspension, similar to the LT500R. This necessitated the differences to the rear plastic under the seat as mentioned above. They also came with rear heel guards that required a few minor changes to the frame, footpegs, and swingarm pivot bolt. Suzuki ATVs
