Hey you know what would be really, really, really cool? If you scanned in the manual and put it up for everyone to be able to see. I'm not sure if this site has that kind of place, but it would be really really really cool if you did that....

I'm just kidding, that would probably take you forever to do, and then it would cost me the same in paper and ink as buying it myself hahaha!

So where did you get yours, how much did it cost, and do they have more. If I can get one of them and an FSM then I think all my basis would be covered.

 

northidahofisher: Ya man!!! that would be nice!!! but printing would be a beast, 264 pgs, double sided... I got mine at the local shop that had it in stock for $37, but i found it cheaper online at Bike Bandit.com 86' Suzuki LT230 Clymer for $28. Im sure you can find them cheaper, but then pay shipping, or maybe free shipping!!???? I just didn't want to wait, I needed it today! As far as the FSM, I haven't looked into it for this bike. But my dad ordered his for his Kawasaki Prairie from that same local shop i believe.

 

Ya no doubt! If you wouldnt mind, when you get a chance, can you check to see if they can get an FSM for our bikes? If they can, how much would it cost, and how long it would take them to get it? Or if you dont mind maybe send me their phone number and I will call them.
I live 70 miles from the closest town of over 3000 people, so getting out and around to "all the shops" is a bit hard. Well that and "all the shops" are one shop 30 miles away and they are a Yamie shop. They "Dont deal with Suzuki's or any bike/atv that old"....

 

Ya, totally, i will call them tomorrow for some bearing prices, and i will ask about the manual. here is their website... Midwest Motor Sports They have contact info at the top of the pg.

They are located right across the river from St. Louis, MO. They can at least help you get a price i hope.

Ya, that really stinks being so far away from anything, but good luck!!

 

Thanks a million man! I will check out the website and see what I can dig up. Thanks for giving them a call in the AM! Let me knwo what they say.

As for beign so far away, yea it stinks, but that jsut means I live in the boonies, and we have TONS of places to ride. within a 15 minute drive from my house I have hundreds of hundreds of miles of dirt and gravel roads and thousands of miles of trails, so I am happy with it!

 

Man, that is so cool!!! I am jealous! There isn't much around central Illinois that isn't private property, or club memberships... Just St. Joe State Park way over in Park Hills, MO, or South Fork Dirt Riders Club in Taylorville IL that is public. I wish there was random open land or trails that i could ride on and not get in trouble by the law or something. I guess i could try, but i don't want to get a ticket for trespassing or something, I don't know... I am a pansy i guess!!! :0

 

Aww, man I would die if I lived in that kind of place. Sorry......

We are surrounded by the Nez Perce National Forest, Bitterroot-Selway National Forest, and Frank Church Wilderness of No Return. So we have plenty of public places to ride. I live 147 miles from the Idaho/Montana border, and I can ride all of it on dirt/gravel roads out in the middle of Gods creation, and never see another Human if I want, or I can drive my car on the highway the whole way.

 

I only say that I would die, because before I moved here I lived in downtown Baltimore where the only thing I could ride was a bicycle or a bus haha, I have gotten used to living in the boonies, I guess.

 

ya, it is pretty cut-and-dry here... But that is ok. Enjoy where you live man! i would do the same if i could!!!

 

Will do, and you do the same! Everyone is put where they are for a reason! I just happen to be one of the "lucky ones" who live in the boonies. Well, "lucky" for the people who like/love the woods, "Unlucky" for people who have to have their Blackberries, Starbucks and Malls!!!
