i think the old bottom end had a 230 crank in it? and i ordered a new timing chain for a 250 and its too damn short? so what should i do is it possible that they sent me a wrong chain? the chain i have is 51 links and i think 101 pins or maybe 102...can anyone assist me here thanks

 

It probably has 102 because bikebandit says the 250s chain has 104.

250s part # 479889-001
230s part # 479908-001

I know its only a 2 link difference.... I have both chains:

 

I'm still confused... 1) you have a 250 crank with a 230 jug and somehow it didn't smack the head. 2) you have a 230 crank with 250 jug and very little compression (but you said twice the normal compression).

The small rod end on the 250 is 17mm. The 230 has a 16mm end. Measure the wrist pin and you'll know what you have.

 

okwell it never slammed the head but it did blow up so i bought a 250 bottom end and 250 cylinder and head all used....i put it all together and try to use my old timing chain and it was too short called BikeBandit they send me a lt250s one but its the same length as my old one...maybe they sent the wrong one i dunno all i know is timing chain i recieved is 102 pins 51 links

 

If im lucky.

 

Wonder how much trouble it would be to piece together a new one? Guess the hardest part would be finding a NOS frame.
Ive been hoarding a collection of New, NOS, and "unused" parts for years now. But im sure there is still less than 20 percent of a new quad in the collection.

 

Chain is supposed to be 104 pins. Order one for the LT4WD then. Its the 250cc 4wd quad.

 

20%? I thought you had more than that?

 

Well its kinda like buying land, its always +/- Guess I need to inventory all my stuff huh?

 

Got the pivot bearings replaced. Keeping the pivot lubed makes it easier, and messier, to replace the old bearings when they do wear out. Replaced the old pivot bolt/nut, spacer, chain roller and chain slider, along with the bearings with new units while at it.
Good as new.
