did all the big reds have the hi lo range down by your leg or was that certain models /years?
Some of the models 1984 and older had it , Maybe only the Big Reds and SX's. I bought a new 1984 model in 1985, shoulda bought the '85. It had a rear shock. A lot better ride.
Not sure about the older ones but the 1985 SX was a straight clutchless 5 speed, no hi lo. Dad and his brother bought a pair to replace their ATC185s. Those 250sxs were ridden at least weekly from 85 until my uncle sold his in about 2002 and Dads gas tank rotted out. We helped the guy who bought uncle’s load up dad’s the day I left for Alaska in 2007. He used it for parts after dad gave it to him, he’s still riding one of them.
Had a bud with an ATC 185, rough riding suspensionless mofo but it would scoot. His dad used it to tow their dragsters around the pits and had it souped up. Bought it blown up and put an oversized piston in it and worked the head and carb.
Another buddy had a 350X with an extended trailing arm.
