that be correct,..i didnt do this tho',..it was sold to me 2 years ago as a 85 lt230e,took me a year to figure out it was a 160 motor on it,..at time i knew nothing of quads never had dirt bike nothing smaller than a 350 chevy,....rode nuff to get bittin hard by the 4wheeler bug,.. bought me a 400 polaris 4x4 an been trying to get this suzuki running right for my son,..a big 8 yr old,..he is a happy quad riding fool this weekend!! its a good fit for him an he handles it with great skill for a 8 yr old,but he thinks he's ready for the 400..lol if he dont kill it in few years ill be found a 230 motor to go back in it when he big nuff to handle it..

 

Ahhh, yeah I understand that. Lots of dishonest people around. There's a guy on eBay selling reman lt230s engines. I don't know anything about him, other then he's got a listing up. Just an FYI, in case you ever want to give it a little more pep.

 

i keep a eye on craigslist locally...thinking a nutter one be good for parts,..as thay expensive,..an hard to come by,...lookin for motor to build so i know when it gose in frame it an coming out for awhile...but thats future dreams for a redneck

 

tom or randy, since i am starting from scratch do either of you know if any of the quadracer parts will fit on my quadsport? i was thinkin about the a-arms,swingarm,axle,bearingcarrier and stuff like that. it would make the suspension so much better. just let me know. thanks

 

i guess i should have asked this first. since i am gonna race this, will i really be happy with it since it is an auto-clutch? can an auto-clutched quad be competative racing?

 

how do you get the front sprocket cover off? 3 bolts hold it on, i have 2 of them out but the other is down in there and the hole doesnt have enough room between the wall of the hole and the bolt head to get a socket on it. anyone have any ideas?

 

what happened to white brothers? back in the day they were one of the best and i have seen a lot of posts about them in the forum but i cqnt find them on te web. are they out of business?

 

what parts from a 250 quadracer can i put on my lt230 eh?

 

I think you would be fine sticking with the factory arms and putting the money into a set of really good shocks.

If possible, I would skip your engine and go for one of the following.

Lt230s (it has a clutch)
Lt250s ( also has a clutch)
Lt250r (the two stroke engine)

 

the shocks are an absolute but i was hoping to have a little wider front end and the only way to do that with out changing the geometry is with a-arms, i think. would love to just go with another engine. will be hard to talk the wife into it. took me 2 years to talk her into letting me spend the $550 to ge this one. i do have time but want it done by this time next to start the racing season. since the q-racer is wider it would be nice if those worked.
