i don't know if i would get one with a stock 230 engine. i have tried NO2 myself and it blew the jug apart while in 5th gear running a 14/41 sprocket combo. thats probly the fastest combo i have come across and it takes a long time to wind it out. only good for flat ground.

might be worth it.

hey guys , great news!..sorta lol. well i finally got the engine back together completely form the top end rebuild and was ready to fire it up. but i decided to check my spark with the new spark plug first since i did have to remove the stator to split the case when i discovered a piston skirt was all chewed up. So i tested the spark and nothing, no spark at all. Any ideas what to test and narrow down what my problem is? i do have a theory though.... i seemed to misplace this piece, number 42 on the diagram:Rivamotorsports.com's 1985 Suzuki ATV LT-230GEF QUADRUNNER Parts List you think this switch has anything with the stator relaying power to the cdi and so on and so forth?

if you want to run nitrous,motor needs to be built for it,..right piston,stronger rod....an motor has to be tuned for it too,..an fuel system has to be mod'ed to work with the nitrous shot too,..or catastrophic engine failure(really bad chit) will occur...lest thats how it goes on drag cars!!
