Is a lt230s 1986 good for climbin?

 

i wouldnt count on it
hillclimbing demands both of 2 worlds (TORQUE & RPMs) the 230 has plenty of RPM but not the torque.
If youve ever watched hillclimb bikes usually they run 500cc or bigger motors on the lightest frame possble.
personally i just dont think you can get the torque you would need from the 230
you might consider a lt500 quadzilla they got plenty of torque with relatively high RPM

AND ILL THROW SAND IF I WANT TO!!!

 

well i dont want to climb hill 900ft high i jus wanna make it up some small hills. but not to small

 

Well, I am 250 pounds plus and my lil` 230 does everything I ask... might not be as fast as some but gets around good...

 

Yeah the 230's are a very good bike for hillclimbing. Lower the gearing and get a new pipe, filter, and jets and it will surprise you.

 

mine has gobs of low end for climbing and enough top end to fly pretty fast.

 

hey lt230sracer where did you get all thoes mods from like what site or company

 

I love my LT230S, the other day I was riding side by side with my buddy's Foreman 450 at 50MPH, he was just about maxed out but I could have gone faster. I'm over 200 pounds and I can easily beat him on my 230 both in takeoff and top speed. Not to mention by rear axle bearings are even bad!! I can't wait to really test it out when I get my bearings in (hopefully tomorrow).


what speeds have you other 230 guys gotten your's up to? And how far can you ride a wheelie? I can only ride one about 20 feet because I'm new to it.

 

ive just rebuild mine and i can reach probably 60-62 it the fastest around our area.

 

idk my top speed. but i can keppmy friends warrior until he gets in 6th gear you just have to look around for stuff. i dont think the bumper is available anymoreany other ?s i may be able to give you websites.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
