pics of the LT230s rebuild

[gt5094stang]

ok guys, just started tearing down the bike on tuesday after work and i was quit surprized at how much i got done in a 2 hrs. got all the plastics off and removed the motor. And also got some air craft cleaner and started to spray down the frame so i can repaint it. I was shocked to see how many different colors wer beneith the top layer of paint. Ther was a range from black, blue, yellow, and purple for the frame; and the shocks had about three different colors painted over them to. After spraying it down i noticed the front wheels changed colors to. I was excited on this one cause i found out the guy before sprayed the wheels silver and i have the old school gold wheels and hubs.

i'm tryin to upload the pics right now but photobucket is being a d#*sh. But as soon as i upload them i'll post up the progress so far

its rough looking but this is what i'm starting out with

Looks like a good project... Its amazing what a little paint and cleaning will do... But i dont think its a LT250r... the 250r's were 2 stroke...

[gt5094stang]

it is a 2 stroke, but anyway it is a project indeed and i'm lookin forward to getting it running. (not running when i got it )

It doesn't appear to be in too bad of shape. You can definitely make that thing bad arse.

that thing is a four poke turd. that must be the quadsport cause that is not the quadracer

[Sc0tt]

Yep that is a 230 Quadsport. I don't know what year but I will guess early 80s.

[BuckBilly]

I can't wait to see it completed. Looks like you are off to a good start.

I am a two stroke lover myself, but there is no need to be like that here, if you want to bash 4-strokes, go to E2S.

I think this thread belongs in the project room.

I think this thread belongs in the project room.

Sounds good , so consider it moved.

[DirtDemon]

That is an LT 230 S not an LT 250 R, so I changed the name of the thread accordingly. I used to have one of those, mine was an '86, my first "grown-up" quad, I loved that thing. I came across a site you may find helpful if you need any parts. New Suzuki LT230S Quad Sport Parts at Vince's Cycle
