They have different part numbers so they can't be the exact same. I know most of the 250S's I've seen have been missing the rear fenders. You found yourself a really nice wheeler there though! Extremely rare. I'd start hunting on eBay for parts. I know there's been a few other people on here looking for rear fenders w/ no luck. I think a few of them might have found them directly from Suzuki though. Sorry if my response seems cobbled together, its way to early for me. My brain works intermittently in the morning.

 

thanks for the reply very helpful..yea i got the bike for 250 bucks running but it needs the lower ball joint kinda having a problem trying to find it.overall its in pretty good shape no plastic on this one either.does anyone no where i can get the engine gaskets?

 

WOW, great deal! That is honestly one of the most rare ATVs ever made. And it was a good one! I've got the front shocks and a-arms off a 250S on my 230S and they're awesome! For parts, check out the following places:

For OEM parts:

Motorcycle Parts, Motorcycle Accessories by BikeBandit.com

They're fairly expensive though so it might be wise to exhaust other sources before going to them. They should have ball joints and gaskets though.

For Other Parts:

DennisKirk.com - Motorcycle, Harley-Davidson, ATV, Dirt Bike, Snowmobile, PWC / Watercraft Parts, Apparel, and Accessories

ATV Parts, ATV Tires, Dirt Bike Parts & Motocross Gear - Rocky Mountain ATV/MC

Motorcycle Parts, Gear and Accessories at MotoSport

These places should have some of the wear and tear parts for your wheeler. So I would check these places for ball joints and gaskets before I go through Bike Bandit.

When you need a non-wear and tear type part, I would recommend searching ebay. I've had quite a bit of luck finding used parts for my 230 on there.

Also, on the rear fender, look through the members list and find QuadsportScotty. He has a super clean 250S with all the fenders. If you ask me, I think yours looks pretty dam sweet w/o the fenders!

thanks for the info do u have any pics or your bike?and can i use a arms from the 230s on my 250s?

 

Yeah, I have pics of mine on my page. Click on my name above this post, view my public profile, then on the right side, you should see some galleries by me. (not the garage).

You can add your pics to your own gallery too.

Also, you wouldn't want to put 230 arms on your 250. The 250 is the newer version of our 230's, so just about everything is better. The 250S a-arms are about 1.5" wider on each side over the 230 ones, and where they mount to the frame is much narrower. I had to cut the 250S arms way down to work on my frame. And the shock mounting locations are different too. Here's a gallery of that project:

I also have other pics of my wheeler on my photobucket.

Thanks man!
