I just got back from that place with the jumps, and wow, the DVX jumps REALLY nice, even when I was landing on the flat. I didn't take the huge jump, but I took one that was longer and shorter, and was nailing it pretty darn good everytime by the end! I'll post a vid in a few. In the meantime, here's a pic:

4th or 5th actually. That jump was probably 30-40 feet long!

Finally got one yesterday. It's an '87. It ain't pretty but it's mine! Question, the original engine is seized but he threw in a 230LE motor. It won't bolt up and I'd rather have a manual clutch anyhoo. Can I swap out the internals to the 230S? If not we'll rebuild.

That looks pretty dang hot to me! I'm not really sure how much of the internals will swap out, but one thing you might want to try is going to bike bandit and seeing what part numbers match up.

Also be sure to check out the lt230s vault in my sig, there's a lot of good info there.

Hopefully everything works out for you, and I hope you stick around!

Checked out the Vault. Killer stuff. I'll be around forever! My son is already wanting a quad and amazingly my wife is too! Yeah for me!

hey nice 'sport ya got there! i always wanted one with white plastics and a blue frame...

as far as the engine goes, i'd use the E crank and topend on the S bottom, if everything is good with the E.

i know the topends will swap, but im not quite 100% sure about the crank.

good luck and welcome to the forum!

that is a very good find...i also like the white/blue combo

those rear tires look like they would slide pretty easy!!!
