Just purchased a 1989 230 LT How can i determine the model? The vin is JSAAJ46A2H2107389. Thanks

 

folson i'm not possitive but think it would be the last four digit's in the vin # , like your's would be the 7th month , third day , of 89' but if i'm wrong someone will jumpin and correct me on this ; i ran my own shop since 1985 till closed it in late 1997 where i worked on everything from lawn and garden equiptment , marine engine's , ATV's and all my my on work keeping them running as well as all my freind's family's and their freind's and family !
I hope this help's you out , and welcome to the forums !........

 

Thankyou! That sounds good but any help on the Model. The person I brought the ATV from said he "thought" it was a LT 230 E. But from the VIN I am guessing it is a S or a J?

 

Is it an auto clutch or a manual clutch?

 

If I understand It's a auto clutch. No clutch on Bars Shifts 5 up manually.

 

Well, if you don't need to pull in the clutch when you shift, then its an LT230E. If you need to use a clutch, its and LT230S. Since the 10th number in the VIN is H, that means its also a 1987, if I'm not mistaken. So you have a 1987 Suzuki Quadrunner LT-230E.

 

This site is pretty useful:

As I am new to this ATV I think this would be a Manual as I have to shift but with no Hand clutch?

 

It can be called a lot of different things. Sometimes they're called semi-automatics, others call it semi-manual. Its just in between fully manual (User Operated Clutch) and full auto (CVT). And then there's Honda.......we won't even bother trying to explain them! lol

 

All thanks for all the info.... Let you know how it goes... Great site !
