Same , same brother! Less $$ and less B.S.ing on the forum, unfortunately![img]i/expressions/brokenheart.gif[/img]

 

Do you realize that next year marks the 20th anniversary of the last year of the 230? Its bound to slow to a crawl.

Yall dont mind me. I was just passen through. All this talk of recession and bail outs have the phone business at a crawl. I was able to take a day off[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Gotta go back Friday and this weekend though. I figure ill sleep when im dead.

Well I finally drilled the holes right for my new rims. They look like swiis cheese lol [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]



I did lose some ground clearance, but not too much...


best $40 bucks I spent on this thing

While revving it out a bit I noticed she spits fire[img]i/expressions/devil.gif[/img]

 

ok, I've got a problem, when I was putting my new clutch cable in, the whole shaft that the lever on the clutch attaches to slid out of the engine case. Now, it slid back in so I didn't think this would be a problem. But once I got everything back together and got the cable tight, I went to pull it and the clutch didn't disengage.
I tightened the cable super tight and it hardly changed. What's going on?? It even seems harder to pull.

EDIT: Ok so I tried it and it seems ok. I guess I never tried it before but is it supposed to free-wheel with the clutch pulled all the way?

Also, when I was trying it, I didn't tighten the 2 bolts that bolt the clutch lever assembly onto the handlebars and I lost the lower one, is it the same as the upper one?

Could be a bit lean on the idle if it spits when you left off.

I think those bolts are the same.

I don't know why that shaft would slide out like that. You could check the eploded diagrams here: http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_atv_parts.htm

 

hey i just recently picked up a lt230 its needs some work including rings and a new bolt put in the brake peg but this is my first ATV so I'm new to it. but i figured for 100 bucks i couldn't help it. is there any sites that have a lot of information well summed up in under 222 pages.
