So the last few times I've ridden I've noticed that in 4th and more obvious in 5th gear my trans or clutch seems to be slipping. I will have the quad in one of the two above mentioned gears and will be a approximately 3/4 throttle and when I go to full throttle The rpms increase but I don't go any faster. I only notice it in these gears and when I go approximately 3/4 to full throttle....any ideas?</end quote></div>



You need a new clutch a some stiffer springs. All the 230's around here have that problem too. The 250s has an extra clutch plate or 2. So, there must have been an issue with the 230 clutches. Also, the 250 has a lower 4th gear, closer to 3rd. I've been thinking about ordering the 4th gear for the 250 and putting it in my 230 when/if I split the cases. 4th gear is too big of a jump from 3rd. I'm either revving 3rd all the way out or boggin 4th.



My cousin is in town and I'll hardly be around posting much till tuesday... In case anybody has been wondering where I've been, lol. Who knows, maybe you guys need a good break from me. [img][/img]</end quote></div>

Yep new clutch!

I've been low profile due to no electricity since Friday! Big *** storm has the power company scrambling! Only typing now cause I had my wife drag an extension cord from the toy hauler!! Amazing how you miss the internet when it it takin from you!

Power is back up! Yeah! Not a big deal, I are a country boy and a half azz boy scout, even on crutches![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] Had the generator from the toy hauler running tv and the fridges, wood in the fireplace, just like deluxe camping! Only thing I missed was the dang internet!! Weird, 5-6 years ago had no use for a CPU, now I freak out if I don't have it for a couple of days..

damn computers, My house pc has decided to be unfreindly starting up again. I really gotta redo my gutsy install on this thing. I am currently running a gentoo live cd to check-up on my e-bay stuff while I am home. I had forgotten my passwords for all kinds of stuff that I have my browser remember for meman the hassle.



I have been reading up on what I missed again, and I agree that this little forum gives a great out to frustration. I was all pi*#$d off and decided to come here after my b.s. question answering on e-bay. now that I am just rambling on non importantly, my mood has allready been lifted. AWESOME! this forum rocks.



In another note thanks for the compliment on my parts on e-bay. I have always been picky with using clean parts on a rebuild and got so sick of getting crap I had to clean that this is what I ended up doing. I just picked up an old honda 110 atc that I am going to start tearing down today. the 230 spare parts I had are doing well (very well). I know it is a commonly broke part and since I have the one I am using and two spares I decided to polish up and post an axle carrier for an 87 lt230s. thought i'd let you guys know when I list needed important items. I polished this carrier and took it all apart, then cleaned out all the smelly grease and have regreased it slightly.



I am rambling like P G a bit sorry, his is pools and i am fish and e-bay</end quote></div>

Sorry again for my ramblings![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] I do get sappy on ocassion!
You are a detail kinda guy fishguy! Hope you do well with yer ebay store. stuff looks awesome!

hey y'all I just returned from the garage. thanks PG for the compliment. I enjoy the rammbles that everyone must have to vent somehow to someone or something. once again I was all shambled from typing all night at the garage and find enjoyment on this thread.

I have never seen anything like that randy,I think that the carrier to a quadsport would not go on that right. maybe it is off the utility quadrunner or some sh$t. who knows.

Hey PG I like the lowering kit it is cool, but I am a woods riden guy. I rode the new kawi 450 today, fuel enjected an all, but yuk yuk yuk for me. i had a blast shifting the gears on the road, but yuk in the woods.
