it does look pretty small for a 230....i used to have a 1991 suzuki 160...mine had racks on it so it might be a bit differnet but it was chain driven though, maybe they used to be shaft in previous years? dunno

 

its a lt125. its not a lt185 because those have front suspension.

 

Agree. As I read the threads i thought it was a 185 (used to have one) but your right they had front suspension, definitaly a 125.

 

mine is chain drive
no numbers on the jug itelf that I can tell
but on what look like the oil primary cover(right hand side of forwheeler) there is a stamping 1100ML.

 

that is how much oil goes in the engine. there should be numbers on the cylinder, near the cases, on the left side, which says how many cc's the cylinder it is.

 

ok I finally found the numbers they was hid behind the exhaust pipe 124cm3 and I found the VIN TAG look like it's 4/86 model. can you all tel me any history or concerns or general info about these things from what I can see the carb probably needs rebuilt and the throttle,choke cables are froze up

 

lt125


ultimate wheely machine lol

 

well notsure how without any suspension plus I got this thig for my ten year old son hopefully he wont kill himself, he tends to take after me and do stunts. once I COUGHT him jumping his bike off a ramp on fire w/ gas when he was 8 over at his friends house, when I asked him why he said that his mom told him a story of me doing it. I had to explain the differance of when I did it that it was done under a controlled enviroment and I was wearing a fire suit

 

they have a ridged frame which helps with the front end going up. no rear suspension to compress. plus they have good power and torque for a small quad.

they are pretty fast for wht it is, a bit bumpy though! and are good hill climbers. you just hav to be carefull how big you go.

the reverse gear wears out, and the main drive shaft in the engine can break. the reverse gear wearing is mostly because people engage reverse before the tranny stops spinning.

the front king pin bearings are also prone to wear. as there is alot of load on them.

 

not to be stupid but what isd the front king pin that you refer to
