Im planning to pick up a 230 later this week for my wife. This will be her first quad. It is an electric/pull start model and has a clutchless transmission. How much of the tech in this massive thread is applicable to this model?
Is there a reason these dont seem as popular as the kickstart versions?
Any reason this would not ne a good first quad for my wife? My first was a kawasaki mojave so Im hoping for reasonably similar performance.

Is a chain drive or shaft drive model? I got my quad from a guy who bought it for his wife, but almost killed himself doind a wheelie on it and decided it wouldnt be good for her. I have the S model though, so wheelies are easy if the RPM's are to high when you let off the clutch. A clutchless will be more forgiving. I think it will be a perfect starter quad!

Truthefully i dont know if it was chain or shaft drive. It was in a dark storage container . All I know is it needs a battery but It started with one pull. It had a rear rack was orange plastic and black frame and was 300 bucks.
I hope it is chain drive. I didnt realise they built one that was shaft drive. It was extremely stiff on the rear . Im 250 pounds and it didnt squat at all. Made me wonder if it had rear supension.

My daughter (almost 11yrs old) has just taken over my 230!!!!
Talk about proud!
What a strange couple of years it has been....... I built the ultimate 230 at least 5-6 times..
They were all badass, but I either blew them up, burned em up, over built them, etc........
Now I bought the 230 that was super stock, made the "easy" mods and I am lovin life!
This is a badass lil machine!!!!
We have missed you Charles, or I have at least!!!
