i have a suzuki lt 230, the guy i bought it from said it was bored and has bigger jets.i bought it 3 weeks ago and have ridin a total of about 4 hours since. On saturday, i rode this quad for about 35 min then i heard a clicking noise coming from the motor. not sure exactly where it was originating, i decided to ease it on home. 50 feet later it dies and now will not turn over with kickstart at all. the motor wasnt knocking just a little clicking noise. any suggestions on where i should start the tear down? (i have never worked on a quad before)

 

29 looks but no suggestions? please i really have no idea where to start do you guys need more info or what?

 

hey welcome to the forum!

a pretty common problem with these 230s is the lower rod bearing gets spun (happened to me as well as many others) were you revving it out quite a bit? and how was your oil level before the failure?

 

oil level was and still is in the safe zone. i was in 3rd gear about 1/2 throttle coming up a hill when i first noticed the ticking. then after i stoppped to listen and started back up the hill it shut off like it was starving for fuel.

 

oh so when it shut off it revved up alot?

 

no when it shut off it wasnt revving at all. but i have it in the shop now so thanks for the replies.
