will the 86 interchange or just the 88. i am trying to restore one and cant find an engine.

 

I don't think so because I think in they changed in 87 after a certain serial number on the case or something like that. I have the clymer manual for the 230S and 250S but I will have to dig it out. I will reply back later with some more info.

 

what are the differences in the swing arms. will a 250 work? how about a 86 230 if i change all the brakes and stuff?

 

Hey there I work in a suzuki parts dept. If you want to get me your frame numbers and engine case numbers and I will see what I can do.
Quad serial # should start with JSAA or something like that. It wikll be a 17 digit number on one of your frame tubes behind the rear plastics. email me cooter1994@yahoo.com

These quads are really popular and parts should be readily available from your local dealer. If you don't have a local dealer we might ship parts out to you for a small charge via ups. We usually require prepayment on spec ordeer items though and you would have to use a credit card.

Also there is an abundant supply of accesories and parts available aftermarket for this quad because it was so popular- see parts unlimited, white brothers

I will email u back if you send me the info thanks Ride on bro

 

i wouldnt even bother restoring it. its one of the worst quads ever made. sorry, but my friends broke down everday, and he kept good care of it.

 

hey chad if these lt230 sports are so horrible why are there so many still around??? Also why are there so many parts available aftermarket?? I think your firiend might have had s pell of bad luck

Go ahead and wrench on the lt230s and get out there and ride

 

Considering it's age and condition when I got it I am very impressed with mine. I paid 500$ in rideable condition and it ran for a year before anything went wrong. That bike pulled my friends late model 2 strokes back to the truck many times.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
