I know that (thanks to Trailrider230s) warrior rear shocks will bolt right in but I dont think blaster shocks will fit. Your only other option (from what I have heard) are WORKS performance shocks which are EXPENSIVE.

You can buy a vacuum bleeder or make one if you have a vacuum pump of any sort or reverse a squirt bottle. It is the best way to get it done and you do not have to share your beer.
It is not a big deal for one person to stand in front of the quad, and hold/pump the brake lever with one hand, while opening and closing the bleeder with the other. Should only be a one man job.

if you think about it Blasters are a lighter bike and the shock length is alot longer. And WORKS shocks are not your last hope. lt250r shocks will bolt in, you just have to set the preload on the lowest setting. And 250s shocks work great if you can find a pair of them.

Welcome to the big thread!! All your 230 questions are answered in this thread. I noticed your post on setting the valve lash, go the Vault. the link is in my sig. it should help you out tons. i am a regual contributor for the Vault along with several members on here.

I have found many stock and aftermarket exhaust on ebay for the 230s. You can also use a universal slip on if you have the know how to fab something together.

I would still got Denniskirk.com. the Dg exhaust there run about $120-$170 and shipping is free and warranty coverage is easier to handle through them.

Default need help

hey im back currently im not working on the lt230s becuase im playing with the lt230e. okay my question is i half to but breaks (front and rear)but what do i buy. thinking of buying off ebay. other question is i need to fix carb because it is drain fuel out of the fuel drain hose. tried to tughten screw but it kept leaking out (sometimes running out) it runs great though! i had a friends dad check it out and he took it apart and cleaned it to make sure the float wasn't stuck down and it wasn't but saw some of the pins were bent (have no clue what pins) he is mechanic and tried to straighten them to the best of ability and put it back together and said to try it and see how it works. it keeps leaking like before. what should i do to make it stop leaking and fix it the correct way. do i need to buy a new carb or buy a rebuild kit for it? and if so where do i buy eather of them.

thanks ryan
