    My friend and I used to ride the LT230's back in the 90's and early 2000's.  I still have my 1986 (blue seat), but he sold his 1985 (black seat) a while back.  Mine was pretty much trouble free with regular maintenance. 

    I bought my 1985 LT230 GE (black seat) about three years ago.  It was in rough shape, but ran pretty well.  The tag with the manufacture date on the frame says 1984 and the VIN makes it a 1985 model year.  What confuses me is that the badly cracked and patched orange plastic body had stickers that say: Shaft 230. You said your friend's 85 was chain driven, and I didn't think they came out with the shaft drive until 1987?

    Did you get the piston / ring job finished?  Are you riding it yet?

  2. New to QuadCrazy and to the Forum.  I own a 1985 Suzuki LT230GE.  It was in rough shape when I bought it 3 years ago, but running.  I have ridden it over each summer, but this summer I decided to do some work on it.  I am hoping there might be a few guys on the forum with some experience with this make / model, or even more general ATV knowledge, who might share their expertise with me as I putter away at making it a better, more reliable machine.

    I am a Canadian, retired military Veteran (Kandahar AF, Sinai Pen) in the Eastern time zone, with 3 acres of bush that I am working on, and riding on.

    All that by way of introduction...
