Default What model is my Suzuki

I can't seem to find a Quad that the frame looks the same the guy told me it was a Suzuki lt230 but mine has some frame in between the wheels that say suzuki.

It dosen't have a Clutch he said i just accelerate and shift. It also has a starter but i have no battery to test if it works. The Quad works it runs good body is just crap lol..... my first Quad..

My Q's are I've been looking up about the motor I read that the go through Axel bearings and swingbar bearings (don't now where they are located) any help would be appreciated.

Are all suzuki quads this year bad from motors since mine dosen't have a clutch or kick start i was wondering if its a different motor.?

Heres a picture of the Quad..

we had an old bike like that. it was a 230. solid rear, front "shocks", front/rear racks. tough as nail that engine was. screamed it WOT all day and no problems. always started. its a pretty good starter bike for sure. you dont have a swing arm if its the bike i think it is.

yours should be shaft drive. no chain, no swinger. its a pretty bullet proof bike, at least ours was. the lt230s engine wasnt weak, the chain coming off was due to improper maintenance. mines rock solid. the engine in your quadrunner isnt as potent asthe engine in the lt230s, but its tough as nails. just do your maintenance and it should run a long time.
