Hi. I’m having opportunity to buy a quad Suzuki LT230. I haven’t seen the machine yet, it will be imported soon. I have some question about. I can’t find any tech.spec. for this model. Importer is not sure about letter after model name. Probably F (LT230F)
Surfing the net I found out that model LT230 was produced until 93. Owner is claiming that this Quad is from 99. Is it possible?
Anybody have this machine? Only what I know that quad is driven by shaft so is not the same as LT 250 that has integrated drive.

 

Well if it was produced till 99 it wasnt sold in the US. The LT230 line ended in the mid 90's. There are 2 or 3 different lt230 quads. One is the quadsport with chain drive. I believe there is also a shaft drive model and I know there is a model with racks. The last two models may be one in the same. I believe the sport model was the lt230e.

These machines arent terribly valuable here and are fairly common. Good luck with your potential purchase and let us know how it goes.

 

Thank you Maddog . This quad is 2x4 electric and hand started, have shaft, motor is 4 strokes, 5-speed with reverse.
Importer said that I could have other exactly same looking model with additional 2-speed subtransmission.
Quad has definitely utility look with racks on the front and rear. So, it isn't LT 230E model? If yes, then have to be much older then 99 ;-(
Was any LT230 model ended with F?

 

How can I recognize the year by VIN# ? Where the VIN # is located on LT models?
