I am currently in a bind on what kind of quad i want. My friend has a 1993 suzuki LT 230 quadrunner for $1,500 and its it great condition. But i want something newer. I was thinking a Kawasaki Mojave and i wanted your guy's advice. I want to put nerf bars, pipes, and Razor tires on the quad i buy. would it be a better buy to purchase the suzuki or the kawasaki Mojave? i also want to race MX at all the local tracks. what would compete better without spending a fortune? I only have $2,000 to deal with right now. Or is there some other kind of quad i should be looking at for my needs? I'm 16, 5' 7, 130lbs. I appriciate the help!

a quade sport 230 arnt woth that mutch mony anymore and a stock 230 engine dosent have that mutch performance. I have a Kawaski mojave 250 with razr tires. But besides the tires it is completly stock. my mojave can keep up with all my frends top quades like 400ex's. my freind has a 230 ith many mods and im still able to beat him in everything we do so a mojave is a beter bet.

Well the stock speed is right around 55-58.But with very few mods u can make it go 60-65 easy!!!To do mx,get some shocks liek my Elkas,some good tires like razers,an air filter ,pipe and jet kit.That should bring your moajve right to life!!!!!!

What do you reccomend for a pipe, jet kit, and what combination of tires(front & backs) should i get. How much are those shocks you have? and all together how much would this cost? Will the quad beable to compete with 400EX's and warriors with these mods?

apperantly mojave kid did not notice you 2000 dollar limit
first thing to do would be get rid of you stock air box and put on a clamp on a 25$ way to get 2 or 3 horses then get tires
dont worry about suspension for now it is way to expensive and the stock is alright for anything under a 30 foot double
then i would get nerfs bumper a kill switch so when somthin does go wrong on the track it dont turn into a 1000 $ mistake just hurts your pride with these minor mods you will do great
