MAG Covers are 187 bucks at the dealer. Ouch! No way I will find a used one.

 

Yikes! The Suzuki Dealer near me charged me $80 for one.... I always wondered why there was a guy selling them New on Ebay for $200 and people bought used ones for more than what I pay for new ones lol. I guess it all depends on wether or not your dealer is a one armed bandit.

 

Hey Atvman,
got the race motor together. it wont run on anything less than 99 octane. Cessna fuel really turns a 230 into a monster. i am still experimenting but when i find some actual data i will share it with everyone. I have changed some gearing in the tranny and spockets, and today was the first run. i blew a 94 warrior of the road blew past a Blaster like he was sitting still. Taking my 230 to a dyno this week. i figure i am pushing around 75+ horsepower to the rear wheels. which i believe is 3 times stock power rating.

OH and Bashr52 thanks for the carb info. it works beautifully.

 

Just curious, what have you done to your motor? Mine is smoking a bit and wondered if I can put a 250 head and piston cam in it? Do you know? Also, the kick lever wont stay out. How do you fix that? Thanks.

 

I tightened the bolt that holds the kick lever in place at the bottom of the lever... and after a while, when it warmed up, it started sticking out! So, I would first make sure that the bolt is tight. Other than that, it might have just been luck for me.

 

I found a set of mud tires size 25x12x9 for cheap, they are on stock rear rims. What size fronts should I get 23? I like the Kendra tires.

 

i personally wouldnt run 25x12x9 on the rear of my 230. 22x11x9 or smaller and 23x7x10 are good for gaining front end ground clearance.

And i cant really say as of yet what i did to my motor. i am still tinkering around with it. All i can say is stay away from a stage 3 race grind. as for putting a 250s topend on, well you can do it but i am still using a 230s cylinder with a better head and porting system and valves.

i dont recomend doing anything i have done unless you extend the swing arm out at least 4 inches or a little more.

 

25's are quite large. They'll bog you down a noticeable amount due to their added heft. 21" tires are stock on the front, I put 22" tires front and back on mine. I liked the thought of the added ground clearance but if I were to do it again, I would go with 22s up front and 21s in the rear. I had Kenda Klaw XC tires which had PLENTY of traction and are very light too, they also (can) carry a 6 ply rating which is very nice.

Plus mud tires look terrible on sport quads!

 

I know the 25's are a bit big. I got them for 40 bucks stock rims and tires they are Carlisle Turf Tamers 25x12x7. Some day I would like to find a nice set of chrome rims with smaller rear tires. I will try and find a pair of 23's for the front for now. Thanks!

 

Nah, same stroke. The 250 has a longer rod (for more rpms), taller jug (dissipate more heat), bigger wrist pin (for obvious reasons)... The reason you're thinking 273 is the big bore kit for the 250 is a 273 (17mm wrist pin if I remember right. 16mm for the 230). You can't put the 273 kit in the 230 without having the 250 rod.

I think the 250 4wd has a longer stroke with the same piston/wrist pin as the 230.
