I recently bought a 87 TRX 250 not running of course, the owner had a brand new Key Switch on it. I think it is the wrong one or wrong wire colors as the colors dont match up with wiring diagram i downloaded for it. anyone have a pic of their ign switch wires where they connect with the wire colors for that model? I ended up leaving the black/w stripe and green wire disconnected in order to hot wire it for other testing but would like to know as the colors dont match diagram.

G'day guys, just wanted to ask some questions regarding the swing arm. First of all I just wanted to say that I am very impressed by the trx250 I can't believe its19 years old it is my daily driver I live in a rural coast town and it gets driven off-road every day and on pavement for a few kilometers I've had it for two and a half years. 500 km away and I drove it back home for in 2 days and I had nothing go wrong. All I've had to change on it is some bearings and carbons in the starter. Last week I changed the bearings in my swing arm because the left side was broken, I changed both sides. The left side and the frame had a bigger gap then normal, I made some tests shaking around the quad and it didn't seem to move so I thought I would keep an eye on it. Yesturday it started moving around and when I opened it up I found the right side bearing was broken. I've put a new bearing in and this time the gap on the left side is smaller then last week but it's still not as small as the right side. Both installations I've torqued the bolts correctly. If anyone has any ideas it would be really helpful.

I just was given a 1986 trx250 utility version that has the whole front end cut off. I wanted to convert the fourwheeler into a three wheeler since there is no way of putting the front end back on. The conversion seems that it could be easily done besides the steering. The steering on the four wheeler has a Long steering stem area and the three wheeler a short one like a dirtbike. Is there any way of cutting the steering stem down or does anyone have any other ideas? Thanks!
