EDIT: Never mind, found that our local Suzuki dealer lists them for under $4 each. I did not realize they would carry parts for ATVs that old. I cant figure out how to delete the thread, so I apologize! Hello everyone, This is my first time posting - hopefully I am in the right place...but please be kind if not! I am not ashamed to admit that I am a crazy beginner when it comes to ATV repair (okay, auto repair in general), but I am trying to restore this ATV piece-by-piece. I ordered front and rear brake shoes yesterday, then realized the set I ordered does not come with those stupid little springs. I can only find used springs on Ebay and can not find anyone selling new ones anywhere except with the shoes (and were crazy expensive compared to what I paid...I guess for good reason). Anyone have any idea where I can get my hands on a new set of these springs? Thanks so much!! Susan

i have a 89 lt-4wd, and it doesn't want to easily downshift into neutral I believe it could be a bent shift fork. Is my thinking correct, and has any done work on the transmission of these quads or have any tips? thanks in advance.

Just picked up a 1988 Suzuki LT4wd for $500.00 off craigslist, I just got done restoring a 1989 Yamaha Big Bear 350, and i saw this quad had the 6 select-able ranges and I fell in love with it. Im fixing the brakes now, moving onto carb soon, Im a machinist and have a good mechanical inclination, but im totally new to ATVs (took me a full week to figure out my lean condition on the big bear wasnt a clogged jet, it was just missing the rest of the intake tube). few questions 1.) i put the quad up on stands and started to pull the brakes apart, came in the garage today to see half my front diff oil on the ground (pinion seal) id like to replace it, and im just wondering if its bearing style pinion, or crush sleeve, and how hard it would be to replace the seal (and bearings if they're shot). Is it built with looser tolerances (backlash and pinion depth etc) or is it like a vehicle diff where you go to get it dead on or your burn up the gears? 2.) I was told fenders from a LT4wd, lt250, king quad etc, will fit (from up too 2001) is this true? My plastics are FUBARd, and i wouldn't mind going to newer style wider fenders (providing the attachment points are mostly the same) 3.) I LOVE the front diff lock feature. I hate that itll only engage in super low. I do like my mud pits and keeping wheelspin up while going in a straight line is ideal for me. i have heard mutterings on the internet that there's ways to modify the shifter assembly so itll engage in ranges other than super low. Again, is this true and or is there a writeup about it? Im sure there will be more questions, but for now this is all i can think of, thanks again!

so finally got the quad started after the winter, I use a 1987 LT-4WD on my ground for "yard work", today after a very hard start, the choke cable snapped, fixed that (temp), got it running, idle is rough. added some seafoam to the gas to help clean it up. Hooked up lawn aerator loaded with cynderblocks and the quad would not go. seemed like it was trying, but nothing. reverse worked fine. hi, low, 4wd, no difference. anything forward was no joy. So, the engine lacks power. pulled the sleds fine over the winter - and before that, now is the only time she wont budge!

I bought an old ATV and would like to get it going again. When I purchased it we bump started it as the rope starter and the electric starter was broken. The machine had a lot of other issues. One by one I have been addressing them. I fixed the rope starter,the electric starter, the choke lever and cable and choke plunger in the carb. I also changed the oil, filter and the air filter. I also bought a new battery and redid the wiring.I have been working on this machine all summer to try to get it going for hunting season. The electric starter turns the machine over like it should,the choke works like it should,but it does not start. I believe that the fuel pump is the culprit. Is there any way to test a fuel pump,and is there any way to repair it. The manual says to replace it. I checked spark and it is bright blue. I also thought that the plug was wet. Now I am confused. I need help. Thanks guys Dennisg
