Duncan Racing Gives New Life
to a Classic Two-Stroke ATV

Freestyle Rider Seth Fargher's 1991 Suzuki
LT 250R got more than just a make over thanks
to Duncan Racing |
Santee, CA (8/5/2011) - In today’s
technologically advanced world of four strokes and
fuel injection, it’s rare to see a classic
two stroke sport ATV and even rarer to find one
that hasn’t been beaten within and inch of
its life. The folks over at Duncan Racing recently
put together one sweet ring dinger with the help
of some very generous supporters and we couldn’t
pass up the opportunity to check out this classic
Suzuki QuadRacer.
The idea behind the project was to restore a
mildly modified and well-worn 1991 LT 250R to
its stock form. Lenny, Loren, and the crew at
Duncan racing went to great lengths putting this
beauty back together and their attention to detail
made the end product nothing short of spectacular.
The ATV actually belonged to freestyle motocross
rider Seth Fargher and as you can imagine had
seen some serious abuse. When it arrived at Duncan’s
world headquarters in Santee California the ATV
had not been started in almost two years, had
a severely damaged frame and aesthetically speaking,
needed a major makeover.

After
bringing the 1991 Suzuki LT 250R back to
life, we noticed that the QuadRacer handles
great both on the ground and in the air! |
The first order of business was to deal with
the frame issue. Since “stock” was
the theme for this build there was no doubt in
anyone’s mind that the yellow frame had
to go. Seth supplied an additional frame which
after some serious weld repair, was sent to ECP
Powder Coating in El Cajon, California along with
the A-arms, grab bar and foot pegs.

Precision Concepts revamped the Ohlins front
shock to give the QuadRacer a plush ride
out on the track or trail |
The quad had been outfitted with Ohlins suspension
up front which, like most of the quad, needed some
serious attention. Duncan called on Precision Concepts
to rebuild the front shocks along with the stock
rear, which they had freshened up and sent back
to the shop in no time at all.
As mentioned the old LT hadn’t been started
in almost two years, so Loren Duncan went to work
freshening up the engine with a new piston and
cylinder head. They also bolted on a full Paul
Turner exhaust system to help that two stroke
engine scream.
