i got some good news today. the guy i posted about a few pages back with the 85 230s in his kitchen, is gonna give me the parts i need to fix my case problem. i got new rings and gaskets ordered up. so JR, i know its alot of #s, but could i get the torque specs i'll need to repalce the left side case, left case cover, and what i'll need to replace the rings.

as you can tell i forgot to order the repair manual when i ordered my parts. now it wont be here in time for the rebuild.

there is also a slight chance i can get the whole quad from him for $50. if so, im gonna put my engine in his frame and swap his front shocks and all four rims & tires out for mine.

 

Well I have a second quad now. 2003 Suzuki LTZ400. It has the 440 Big Bore Kit, Trinity Stage IV Full Exhaust System, K&N Pro Flow Intake, Big Gun Performance Ignition, Douglas red label rims w/ ITP Holeshot tires, new O-ring chain and sprockets.

It is f#%***g FAST!!! Here are some pics, sorry they suck was kinda dark.

 

Ooops, double post.

 

Very nice!!! i have a couple of friends with the same!!

Careful on that thing (2nd bike and all)!!!!

You'll find that being able to ride regularly, will help your disposition towards working on the other one!

 

Oh yeah, I MUST do it..... Remember those works front shocks I scored for my 400?? They are the same for your 400!! Hint, hint, wink, wink!! Night and day, man, night and day!

Did u buy the 400 loacal? Ive been wahing a couple units myself. An 03 and 05 model.

 

I am probably wrong about the year, but watch out on 03 or 04 Suk 400's, check fro cracks around the shock mounts..

 

Yeah it's crazy fast....as far as shocks I'm good for now but maybe sometime down the road. The 03's could have cracks around the gussets which I checked before buying but that has only happened in a few cases and involved big jumps which I won't be doing. It was a really good deal localy and I was the first to get to it, the guy had a lot of money and didn't understand what he really had so I bought it for $2400.

 

That was a steal! LOL the exhaust is worth more than the 230!!

Watch yourself on the 440's.... Change your oil AND filter every 150 miles or so, and get your valves adjusted every 5-600 miles... And since you are H2o cooled make sure your coolant is the "right" color EVERY ride..

 

My cylinder is back in. Ill pick it up tommorrow. Cant wait.
