Suzuki LT230E engine swap
l just purchased a 230 quad for $100 bucks. Had bad motor in it, so l got to thinking. l found a suzuki rm250 with a bad frame, but good motor. Thought 1, will it work. Thought 2, how to do it, and Thought 3, get it done. l now have a 87' LT230 with a rm 250 2 stroke motor, talk about fast. The only problem l had was the exhaust pipe, little heat, no problem. And where to mount the radiators, took a lot of thinking.
Anyway the end result is, don't be afraid to imagine the possibilitys.

Just wondering if anybody can tell me weither the radiators have to mounted above the engine. Having a problem with motor running hot and shuting down. l took the motor off a rm 250 dirtbike and put it in my suzuki 230 4 wheeler, but mounted the radiators, not up and down, but kinda side to side. Like on a 45 degree angle, but the hoses have to travel uphill to the motor. Don't know if that's my overheating problem, any feedback would be great, thanks.
