I just aquired a suzuiki 230 four wheeler that has been sitting in the weeds for a few years---any wild ideas what i can do with it???

do what he said then before u ride it, check the cables over real good! id lubricate moving parts. and make sure bolts r tight!

i acquired a suzuki lt250 or w/e that thing was and it took me a week to get running, new spark plug,air filter, flushed tank, new fuel lines, replaced sparkplug wire, new battery and it ran great, lubed all moving parts. i was riding it, way back in the woods, a tire freakin fell off as i was turnin. luckily there was a tool kit under the seat and had a wrench for the lug nuts. rode 10 more feet and hit the brakes, brake cable broke. i had to ride home with no brakes, the manual pedal was broken off and i havent welded a new one on. was the hardest thing to get home bcuz i climbd some big hills. good times

Ha, so that's why we need brakes...hills...

Well readin this got me thinking to get my old 88 250x runnin while I'm on Christmas break.

You could take the engine off the quad frame and put it in a kart frame, that was my plan untill I realized we needed another quad, no another kart. O well...
