I just picked up an 86 230 quadsport. The clutch slips bad. Where can I get a service manual for the repair. Is it better to just get whole new clutch basket or will just getting new clutch disk be ok. I have never pulled apart a clutch on any ATV. Thanks in advance for the input

I found this on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Clymer-Suzuki-Lt230-Lt250-1985-1990/dp/0892876085/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1237817793&sr=8-1]Suzuki LT230 & LT250 85-90: Penton Staff: 9780892876082: Amazon.com: Books@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51WWMbBqKHL.@@AMEPARAM@@51WWMbBqKHL

Couldn't find anything on Ebay but you might want to keep looking there. The one on Amazon is not that bad a price though. I don't know about the answer to your question. I would think if nothing is torn up that just the clutch disks would be ok.

DO NOT stick a screwdriver between the fingers on the clutch center to hold it still while you loosen or tighten the clutch center nut. I made that mistake once, it sucked. That would only matter if you need to replace the center or the basket. I just thought I would mention that just in case you need to replace more than just the springs,plates and discs.

check your basket for grooves if its smooth and the plates are not sloppy in the basket then basket is fine. ohyea a heads up incase u have to remove the clutch basket ..dont.. use a or mini prybar, screwdriver etc between the fingers of the basket or u could snap or bend one off!, while removing the nut in the center of the basket. As far as the clutch disks/plates id get a new full set. and id check to see if the prussure plate is not groved if it is replace it. retighten the bolts on the clutch in a star pattern so the prussure plate closes equally on the disks and wont casue wear spots on the disks. And remember to have some slack in the clutch cable so the prussure plate closes all of the way on the clutch disks and wont cause the clutch to slip. good luck and have fun with your wheeler.

      Howdy ya'll. I am working ona 2000 Yamaha Breeze 125. It was in rought shape when I received it and I am working through issues as they pop up. The quad had been sitting for years. I was able to get her running again, but I need your help with the following issue:
      I don't trust the transmission yet and I don't want to make problems any worse. So, I haven't pushed things hard at all. Low rpms, less than 5mph in reverse.

      Nuetral: Runs as expected
      Reverse: She seems to be driving fine at slow speeds. Going into reverse at idle is fine, coming out of reverse back into neutral won't work (the shifter is just stuck). As soon as I turn off the quad, I am able to shift around without any issue.
      Forward: It slips. It seems to only transfer power to the wheels on a smooth surface and going slightly downhill. When shifting into forward at idle, there is a clacking sounds during the transition. Shifting back to nuetral works just fine.

      Other Notable Symptoms: There was old oil in the vbelt and when I was tuning the carb, it starting blowing out of the CVT cooling vent at the front of the quad. Made quite a mess. There is positive crankcase pressure due to piston blowby, that I have not decided whether or not I am going to fix (customer budget dependant).  Since the oil was old, much darker than the new oil that is in the crankcase, I am thinking it seeped past a bad seal while it was sitting for years. The oil that was in it when I first got it had gas in it.

      Thoughts: I am thinking maybe there is an issue with the clutch. I worry about the old oil intermingling with the dry centrifugal clutch. I was thinking my next step would be to take the cover off of the clutch and inspect it.

      Let me know what you all think. Any advice and ideas is greatly appreciated. This is only the 3rd quad I have worked on and I have a lot to learn.
