New member from Hattiesburg, MS area..recently picked up a well worn and abused ’95 TRX300FW to restore for trail riding and to use as a pit bike for my drag car.
Just a little background..over the years, I’ve owned several dirt bikes and quads, everything from a ’93 CR250R, ’89 KDX200, ’89 RM125, ’85 XL100, ’85 XR200, ’86 DR250, Y-brand Blaster in the early ’90s, to three or four Warriors, a Big Bear, a 2000(?) Rancher ES 2wd, three LT250Rs, and probably a couple more I forgot about (hey, memory started going south when I hit 40!!).
I’ve completely restored 3 LT250R quadracers (i love old 2 strokes), a couple Warriors, and have completely rebuilt several ATV and dirt bike engines, from split case all the way up rebuilds on just about any style dirt bike or atv engine (from air cooled 2 stroke up).
I’ve been into drag racing (bracket racing in particular) since the 1990, currently race a 1969 Chevelle powered by a 496/powerglide, runs 6.60s in the 1/8th and 10.70s quarter mile. I went to vocational school for automotive machine shop work, and did that for several years until I figured out the only way to make money doing machine work is to own your own shop, and considering the cost of shop equipment..well, I ain’t going to be able to do that EVER!
This is the first utility ATV I’ve ever restored, and from searching, this forum looks like the a-1 spot to get tech info on TRX300s…so here I am, and have patience with me and my stupid questions! Thanks in advance!
