looks like mid 80's and it should be a 230 4 stroke sport bike

 

just look at bigmc bike on his page looks the same but he has alittle more $$$ in his than yours not saying anything bad about you or your bike sure you will fix it up also good luck with it do you have the motor for it

 

yep its an suzuki 230 looks like a project , i love my 230

 

yup i have a motor but in in pieces
im trying to find out what it is so i can get a book for it and find out what im missing

 

How many pieces is the motor in? That may be a good thing.... Less work to tear it down. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I'm about to tear mine down to the transmission to replace 4th gear with a 250S 4th gear. I'm also sending the crank off for a new (longer) rod and bearings. Last month I bought a big bore kit for it. So, its sounds like we might be in this together. [img]i/expressions/beer.gif[/img]

 

Good old suzuki 230 (my first ride was on one of those) You gotta love thoes old suzuki's

 

not only is it a Suzuki 230, it is likely an '86 based on the seat/plastic color. When you get her rebuilt, lets see some before and after pics!!

 

the motors not to bad only the top end and the side case are off
if its a 86 what other years can i use parts off?

 

The '85,6,7 and 8 are all the same iirc. In 89 they switched the plastics a bit and made the motor a 250. This one is the manual clutch, right? Suzuki also made an auto clutch, same chassis for a few years. They also used that 230 engine mated to a shaft drive in a utility. If it is the manual clutch, you have those 4 years to chose from, and many parts are probably in common with the later years too, but I don't know which ones.
