I just purchased three LT 230 Quads. Two run great and are very nice, the third is extremely clean but hasn't run in a couple years. I was told the crank is no good. It is a complete bike and I want to make it run, anyone have a idea what I might expect to spend to make it run? I am building this one for myself, so it has to be faster than the other two my boys ride.

Also, does anyone have any suggestions were I might find nerf bars for these?

 

fyi, 85 & 87 currently running. 86 to be built for me!

 

welcome to he!! lil buddy!!![img]i/expressions/devil.gif[/img]

Everyone Ihave ever talked to, online or in real life, that hasriddin a a 230S is hooked.......... Follow the keep it simple stupid or lose your mind with some of us, it is all about the journey baby![img]i/expressions/beer.gif[/img]

 

DG had some nerfs in stock for the older Quadracers not that long ago. You might want to check them out just in case. I wonder if those Pro-Armor footpeg maximizers might fit too. Sometimes I miss my little sport. Kind of can't wait for my son to be big enough to handle the new 250 Raptor....

 

we rebuilt our top end on ours. i dont know how much your going to spend but we really didnt spent much over 700 and thats with a dg exhaust 150$ wiseco piston85$ and megacycle cam 100$ hardfaced. valves were only 15$ a piece 80$ for the con rod. thats only like 450$ for the motor and the other couple hunderd went towards tires and cosmetic stuff. with those motor parts she hauls pretty good

 

Hey BMJ,,, you said megacycle cam.... is that stage 1 or 2? What do you think of the cam?

 

It is the stage 1 and its a good over all cam. Puts out good bottom end and mid range. We put this on after we had it rebuilt and noticed a pretty good gain over the stocker

 

So you replace JUST the cam and noticed a good gain?

I've screwed around with software simulations until I couldn't take it anymore..... The megacycle was the only cam to produce a decent gain across the curve consisently over stock. The webcams stage 1 produced slight gains over stock "sometimes" and the stage 2 never did beat stock. I tried n tired to make it beat stock.... And hotcams seems to have a misprint and the guys that sell it don't know enough about it to give me any info, so I can't simulate it, but I have a good hunch that its the same as a stock cam (with a bit more lift).

The only thing I didn't like about the megacycle stage 1 is the monsterous lift for a stage 1 cam. What did you do for springs? I've heard that any lift over .280 is a waste and just beats up the valve train for no reason.... If not for that, I would have already bought the cam n tried it.


Btw, are you using the stock carb? I think you would be pretty impressed with a 28mm flatslide! I noticed a big gain just adding that... Much more power on the top end!
