glad to hear it man. if your ever in the StL area of illinois ive got one you can buy

 

That's good news! Maybe you should consider building a stock 230 (or slightly modified lol).

 

What does it need? You in the hunt for something newer and bigger?

 

Well maybe not a 230. i have an ltz400 and a 450r coming. gotta love police auctions!!! picked them up for a grand and i already may selll both to get the one i want. i had a polaris predator 500 but i liked my reverse on the QS. i rode the predator for a week up until the surgery then sold it for a scant profit of $300. but i will own another zuk just not sure what i want. i know one thing for sure, it will have a title. no more BS for the BMV about how to get a title for a 20+ year quad. it is a pain to get one made for a 86' QS.

 

good to see this thread still exploding with new people! i fired up the lt today after sitting for a little over a month and wouldnt you know, she started on the first kick. im looking forward to some snow this winter. cant wait to get out there and make a mess of things!

trailrider, good to hear youre healing up. best of luck on a new project!

 

i got a ol lt230 id like to sale...good frame an all..runs ok,...just got a 160 motor on it...let it go cheap!

 

We've got the snow here in Michigan already but I'm afraid the 230 is not gonna get much playtime in it...as of right now it has become my winter project no motor work needs done other than the normal maintenance. The frame is getting sandblasted and repainted, new bearings front and rear, and I plan on restoring the plastics and getting them shined up again if possible. It really shouldn't take all winter but I'm in no huge hurry, I'll just putt around on the old Honda for a few months lol. If anyone has any suggestions on refinishing the plastics let me know! Thanks!

 

Need some help. After a 2 month rebuild I finally got my 230 s running. Now it will not go past neutral. I have shifted past some how . But can't again.

 

I do have first.

 

i hate to tell you this. but you may have to pull the entire engine back apart. assemble it from the right side engine half. some how the shifting drum spun out of spec. you have to visually watch it shift while the engine is apart, while spinning the output shaft to make sure each gear engages correctly. and be sure to use Lucas oil stabilizer or assembly lube on the shifting forks and drum and the trans gears and crank bearings and cylinder and all thrust washers. and if you put the engine together dry and didnt prime the oiling system before the first start of the engine, you may have well damaged the internal parts: bearings , thrust washers, bushings, and the crank bearings as well as the rod bearing.

thats if you split the cases !!? ^^^

if you didnt split the cases well it will still be in the trans. i have alot of info that will be in The Vault on engine building tips that the manual doesnt say. After all i have built and tested 150, lt230s engines in the last year and a half and i am certified to wrok on them.
