The ATC250R was discontinued in the United States in 1986 after an agreement between manufacturers and the Consumer Product Safety Commission to cease production of all three wheeled ATVs, following thousands of legal battles over safety issues and high accident rates. A flat slide carburetor was used for the 1986 model year. Dealers were told to remove the motors and cut the frames of remaining machines.
