Yep, I seen that before and THAT'S what I was picturing, LOL.

Poor guy.... He probably really got hurt from that.

 

Hi all I'm new here but have had my 85 lt230s for a while now. I bought it on ebay a while back with a DG RCM exhaust, Works shocks, aluminum skid plate, 1" wheel spacers on the front, had 3" spacers in the rear but it sucked in the trails so i took em off, very convenient 6 pack holder rear rack, almost new Douglas wheels, a "larger than stock" carb its a mikuni but has a sticker that says Phase Five Racing on it, the seller also told me it has a "larger than stock" cam but i have know way of knowing for sure. it starts first or second kick every time but smokes a little when cold. Ive since put new tires on the front and back; titan something or others on the front and Kenda bear claws on the rear and put on nerf bars that I rigged up off a trx250x. It was in mint condition with perfect paint all around and shiny uncracked plastics. Its still in incredible condition for its age and not having been restored but i do ride it and its not quite as shiny anymore. My problem is that ever since got it, it has a huge hesitation. if I ease into the throttle its fine but if i try to punch it hard the motor sputters until i let off and its fine again. Ive race bone stock 230s and they make me look stupid cause i have to ease into the throttle. Ive sent it to the shop several times and they have tried all kinds of jets and settings with the carb but its only a little better. I'm bidding on a stock carb on ebay now but i'm not sure if i'm just wasting money

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..</end quote></div>



Yeah... If PG's scared of it, you better watch out! [img][/img]</end quote></div>

Dude, PG ain't scared of any thing but quadzilla!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I was trying to be a responsible adult and remind the youts of America, to not ride past their experience level.....

Yeah right, If I had common sense on offroad vehicles.......?????

nice Z440 and a smokin deal. the Z400 is the only quad id sell my 230 for, well id also love a raptor 250 but those arent quite in my range</end quote></div>



Just get the 230 to good running order and don't make the mistake I did if you modify it make sure you modify it w/ beefier parts and everything related to that mod, it is 20+ years old and even if you mod a newer one the logic still stands.</end quote></div>

YEP!! Do as we say, not as we have done!!

 

well my 230 is in good running order, thats how i want to keep it.

i had in incident with loading ramps before, i was loading the 230 with a flat rear tire. i was using those "ladder" style aluminum ramps and the flat tire got stuck between two bars, i gassed it and flipped me right off, no injuries or damage, but now i always use the wooden planks.

how do you guys think a stock 230 like mine would do an an MX course, ive been thinking of taking her for a track day, but i dont know how well she would do, any input?

I ordered all new bearings and oil seals for the trans and crank. Im going through all my spare trans gears and useing all the best parts. It may take all summer to get it together, but it will be in as good a shape as I can make it when im through.

I dont want enything to let go under that new big bore cylinder.
