They question is on a LT230 Quadsport....

I see a stamp that says 246 cm3 on the side of the motor...what does that number reflect?
Is it the engine bore? and if so...why is that closer to 250 then 230?

Pic of engine

 

246cm3 means 246 cubic centimeters, or cc's. I no longer own a 230 qs, so I cant compare. There used to be an LT250E Quadsport 4stroke. perhaps you have a different bike that you thought, or someone swapped out that engine/head for the other.

 

really?... somebody told me thats how much motor oil they hold (a dealer)

 

unless your talking about another stamp.

 

Someone is feeding you a line of bull then.

246 Cubic centimeters equals 0.259945 Quarts, somehow I think the quad holds more than a quarter quart of oil.

 

i dont know, my dirtbike is 124cc and its stamp says 1000cm3 and my cat ( 246cc) says 3500cm3. He might be talking about something different.

 

TTT for a picture of what i mean.

The frame of the bike says LT 230S

 

yea, looks like someone stuffed a 250 engine in the 230 frame.

 

nahh i don't think so....the cylinder jug isn't round like a 250

look here Bike Pic

 

Looks like a 250 motor in a 230 frame to me.
