I had an ‘86 Quad Sport in ‘89, I really liked it. I rode it until it started wearing out, it never caused me any major problems. It was lighter than a 250X or a Mojave, 309 lbs dry as I recall. The lever on the left side is a decompression lever that makes it easier to kick start.
Mine has an electric start but its been sitting for the better part of 10 years, in Michigan. so its gonna be a bit of a challenge to get running. But I will have a lot of fun doing so. I took off the seat and looked at the intake and found 4 dead mice and a full nest. That's gonna be real hard to clean out.
@@greasious gotta get it going and save it! 👍😀
I been a quad guy for 23 years this thing is amazing 🤘
Karl Wright II nothing better than passing a dirt bike on a quad
Gilbert alvarez, bro i ride the woods 50” trails and bikes are nothing to keep up with i love seeing the look on there face when they look back and see a quad then after they try to pull away😂😂🤘
Should I get this or a Honda 300trx?
I have an 86 quadsport. Only a couple small cracks in the plastics, one small tear in the seat. Got it for free. These quads are so torquey!! I just swapped mine over to DC on the lights with a battery so it can run brighter LED lights. Great quad!!! Everyone needs an LT230S
starts way better then the one l grabbed sitting 30 years,
I'm still waiting on another video from that one. Lol I'm 36 now and had mine ever since I was 12 or 14. I was really excited when you got that LT fired up.
Hope to see you soon brother, be safe, God Bless
What’s up guys. Had a smaller one of these growing up. Great machines and let me tell you this ones in great shape. God Bless guys.
The only quad with a sideways kick start.
Just wait til it throws the chain and cracks the engine cover, common problems with these. Swingarms always had problems. Besides that great quad.
All you guys need to find is a 250s quadsport. Talk about rare :) basically a total revamp on the 230. Best purchase I've ever been graced with making haha.
The original "sport" quad.
I grew up on a ranch in Northern California riding one of these good memories still got it in the yard
Where did you find that? Amazing condition!!
Love those things they have more power than you would expect
Joe Mattioli used to ride wheelies on the quadsport all the way down the railroad tracks from buttonshop rd in Newtown to pepper st in Monroe....
God rest his soul.
I grew up riding these 230s👍👍nice quad
Need to put the stock rear tires on it,and if you don't keep the rear swing arm bears changed the chain will pop and bust the side case. . I rode mine every Sunday from 11am until 5 or 6 the next. Morning for 6 years . I had 3 cylinder bores with new pistons ready to go with a stage 3 cam.
Really
I have a 86 230 to! I have 2 vids of it on my channel
Haha... Love these Guys.. Junior - "Go out in the woods and start a Fire.." Senior - "Pile 5 kids on the storage rack.." 🤣🇺🇲🤣
My neighbor had one when I was a kid, it was the coolest thing on the block.
I had one of them it was a great quad until it seized the rod bearing when I was side hilling in the pit lol repaired it and got a bunch more years out of it! Love your videos!
didnt they make a automatic version
Yeah, LT230E. The clutch is automatic
And shaft drive in this better suspension style and no rear suspension style.
Nice brotha. Check out the video of my 86 Suzuki 230 but mine is a Utility version of that. No rear suspension, shaft drive, it's a total tank man. Lol
Ha ha, I just bought one of those, it's getting a 1 mm oversize piston , from 228cc to, what, 234cc maybe? 66-to 67 mm
Goes pretty fast in reverse 👍
I grew up on the 86 Quad runner 230. Thing was a machine and could survive anything.
Whoa Ken, after my daughter graduated from her Honda ATC 70 I got her one of these. These things go! Let me see you ride it on either side two wheels! They do that well..Be safe my friends! Dave
I was 13 years old in 1986, my dad told me if I got all A in school he would get me a quad my whole neighborhood had them. So I got all A and my dad got me a 230 quad sport I had the baddest quad on the block. Rode the shit out of it for 5 years, great machine 👍
What a find!! 85 to 87 were great quads!
Awesome a few of my friends had 86 quad sports I had a 87 quad racer 250. That sport is all stock just take that after market rack off the back
Just bought myself one for $900 everything works was just sending it in the trails
I just picked up a 1986 rm125 last night lmao
OMG … how do you find this stuff ? I bought one of these new to PLOW my driveway ! Only difference was mine was the 230H which was electric start only. I beat the living snot out of ours until finally decided not to run anymore. That was almost 25 years later … LOL … you just cant kill those things ….
Had an 85 and rode the hell out of it for 14 years!! Loved that quad!!!
That's a cool quad my uncle had one. I was a kid and thought it was best thing around👍
I got an 85 shaft and I love it kinda sucks it has no rear suspension
I learned to shift a manual transmission on one of these back in the '80s. . Man I wish I could find one like that.
damn did you guys sell this already?
The 1987 was the best one . It was white.
Danzig ?
He said it’s a monster lmao that’s funny
Great quad! Would love to see you on a 250 and 500 quadracers love the 230
getsomepack Pennypacker how bout a banshee much better quad then the quadracers
There’re great quads too I don’t know if they are better than them ones
I am trying to find a rear rack like the one on that for my 230.
Did the compression release ever actually work on these? Mine won't start with the compression release.
Yes min will only start with it. Too hard to kick over without it
I had an 88 quadsport 230 that thing was quality made for sure! I don't remember them having a rack, and mine had the smaller racing tires in the back. A few friends had the 2 stroke quad racer 250's but they were always wrenching on them....not very reliable at all. I'll take reliability any day.
Beginners bike not a 250r Honda great job Ken crossing over ever machine
I have one of these I don't like the rear tires to tall starts one kick but it's a rider do it's beat up
how much does that guy weigh? Seems powerful enough for a smaller quad.
I sure would like to figure out how to send a picture of my 1987 lt230 quadrunner not stock sat for 12 yrs got it for $800.spent $1500 or so on-it since parts are discontinued 😢
I have an 85’ that I bought brand new in San Diego. Still has the original front tires. I put a set of Hole Shots on the rear and handles much better than the original balloon style tires. All original and runs like new still.
Sweet quad, so cool to see ! 👍
Have two of these 90 lt230e and building an 87 lt230s
That thing is pristine
One of the funnest quads I've ridden out in the desert an im not a quad guy got nothing but bikes
The quad sports liked to break the steering stems right above the top bushing. The swing arm bearings used to go out alot on the quad runners, not sure if the same on quad sports.
I have the same quad do you work on them?
The crank is seized on mine😭 gonna have to split the case and put in a new bearing
Nice quad. You guys find some dime pieces!
Crazy how you find all of these gems!!!
Bro I have one but it drops oil and the piston is not good on it do you know anyone that can fix it please 🙏🏾
I'm looking at picking one up for a street legal project
Hey, just bought one of these. Any idea where to get the rear fender besides ebay?
Motorcycle with training wheels!!! Look up my wife’s niece from Ct Paige Whipple pro quad racer!
Freaking AWESOME 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
what did it end up selling for?
Can you make a video of how to turn the gas on and off
My first ever machine was an 87 quad runner 230 my dad got it for free from a buddy of his that had it sitting outside for 15 years under a wood tarp, put a new piston and rings in her, some new tires, cleaned the carb and changed the air filter, new battery and she was running like a top! I had that quad my whole childhood and owe it to the LT230 for getting me addicted to riding, I’m 22 now and still love it just as much as the day I first hopped on that quad.. I rolled her a time or two and the ball joint decided to pop out on me while riding one time, and I even ran over my grandpas new wife with it (true story.. she was on the back and her foot got stuck in the tire and ripped her off I ran right over her ribs luckily nobody in the family really liked that crazy ass woman or pops would have beat my ass haha) unfortunately it got sold a few years back but thanks for bringing back memories Ken 😬
Dang bro. You could pick this quad up over your head and just take *it* for a ride. Beast mode #shredded.
Beautiful. I had a couple back in 93
Nice quad! I had the Suzuki 230 quad racer back in ‘88. And Wow Ken🤩😳💪didn’t know you were so ripped...Nice👍
230 quad racer? No such thing the racer was 250 and yellow.
Good to see more ATVs on your channel.
I had one of those very Tuf and dependable
