Team Green. Literally. There may not have been a whole lot of them throughout the years, but Kawasaki offered a nice variety of manual clutch, performance based machines spanning the decades. Let’s take a look at the offerings. Tecate-3 Honda may have beaten Kawasaki to the race-ready 3-wheeler with the 250R but Kawasaki was the […] More »

Hub troub. Dear ATVC: Does anyone know a 4/110 hub that will fit a 24 spline LT230s axle? I think I saw somewhere that the 200x rear hubs might fit but I’m not sure. I am using the axle for a small dune buggy I am building, so any bolt pattern that has a common […] More »
