1985 LT230S owner's manual pdf?

Anyone have a pdf copy of the owner's manual for an early QuadSport?
Just curious what Suzuki has to say about how to operate this thing.
:huh:
I've got the Clymer repair manual- looking for the owner's manual.

Thanks in advance-

what do you nedd to know about them? i am probably one of the most expereienced people on here with these bikes. and i am a certified mechanic for these bikes as well. so fire away with the questions

also if you want to learn more click on the link in the bottom left hand side of this post.

I've never had a vehicle with a compression release before.
Since the thing is tough to kick over, I was wondering what Suzuki has to say about where to stand relative to the bike when kicking and how to use the compression release properly.
:huh:

Also I was wondering about the extra knob on the carb, but sorted that out last night with info from 'the vault'.

And since I haven't yet ridden this one (no idle and needs some other repairs first) I'm curious which way you push the reverse lever to get in reverse gear- and do you have to first be in neutral, or will bumping the reverse lever get you to neutral from anywhere (as it has done for me on other bikes with reverse) ?

And the Vault website is mine, so thanks for visiting!! the original creator and myself provided that website so it may help others repair or learn more about the lt230s.

too bad you're in cali, i have my lt230s for sale. its the one in the pic next to my name. it has a full rebuild on it fame and engine. all bearings are new and internal engine parts are all new.

Ah! Excellent! Thanks very much! The Vault is awesome, by the way. I was really happy to find it. I'm sad to find that Vince's Cycle no longer stocks parts for the quad. I was really looking forward to getting a huge list off that page. :( I didn't have much luck getting the motor to start with the compression relief pulled. Then again, the thing won't idle, so that might be a big part of it. Supposedly there's a crack in the head. If that's true then I'm possibly way lean on mixture.

A-OK on the needle valve. The carb checked out fine.
I'm not a noob mechanic, no need to worry about me being too rough with the small stuff.

Thank you for your help!

Best to post in the big help thread or start your own.
