You will need to replace your stock shock ( if its still stock ) with one that can handel the extra levrage.
I had the same issue when I had my Q.S. swinger extended. I have pics in my gallery. Works can make you a good deal on a surpurb set up for your new boinger.

By the way, I think i can get you a heck of a deal on the swingarm extention. I had mine done for less than 50 bucks.

 

That would be cool, as the last I found Vince's was the cheapest and he was backordered.

 

Sorry, I forgot to specify, my previous question was for yagerzzz. He has a surplus of Suzukis, while I only have one 86 LT230S. To most of us with 1 to 2 machines, selling would be like selling a family member.

 

hey thanks, my quad isnt at my house right now so i cant go look to see, but is the rear swingarm alluminum? how much do u think the new rear shock will run me?

The stock swing arm on the 230 is made from mild steel. Just about any good welding shop can do the work. I have posted on that very topic eariler in this thread.
Works has their pricing starting at $509 for the stock length and $539 for the extended version. It goes up from their. You can spend as much as $709 depending on the bells and whistles you want.
That is msrp though and you may be able to talk your dealer down a little. ( good luck on that one )
Mine has the external rez and threded preload. I give about $550 for it.
Hope this helps.

 

I just submitted a pic of how I fixed my sloppy shift linkage. All parts available at local hardwhere store. Youjust need a drill and some time. If the pic is not up yet give a little while to get approved.

hi guys,just looking through your postings.sounds like a lot of professionals here.i got an 86 quadrunner 250,i love the bike,but it has no power since i put in a stator.could it be the wrong one or is it in the carb?it ran great before the statorwent,could anyone tell me the valve settings and stock mikuni carb jets and mains?

 

Thanks BigMc! I am watching it and asked him some questions.

 

I have a 1987 230 and it has started running hot. I believe its time for a rebuild. What do I need to rebuild it? Also, Which big bore kit should I use? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
James
