LT80 brake cables, hub cover, plug changing, VIN location

[kkesler]

Several questions, so thanks in advance.

Any option for the front brake cables beside the Suzuki dealer? Ouch.

Need a hub cover for a front wheel.

Where is the VIN located on these ATVs?

What is the secret for changing the spark plug? It's well hidden in there.

1) no
2) Zuki / ebay they are cosmetic only.
3) front left frame rail if I remember correct.
4) you cut the plastic off that's in the way.

As far as the VIN... if the sticker is missing from where LT80 said, it is also stamped in the steel on front of the plate that connects the front frame rails (where the top front fender bolts screw in). It is painted over so you have to look for it. If you take the front fender off it is easier to see, but you can see it with the fender on.

If you take the seat off and use a long socket extension you can get at the plug from the top.

There's a pair on ebay right now for $29.99 plus shipping. The seller is sledpartsguy and I've bought a lot of stuff off him...good guy.

Auction# 170242371372.

That's a good deal. They list for $24 each.

Those say for 87-03, is there a difference in the newer ones? Also, I need the little piece that the cables hook to on the brake lever perch.

They will fit all years LT80.

Ok, got these in and installed. They aren't quite up to the OEM pieces, the rubber boot on the bottom has to be torn off as it is molded in place and does not have the spring clip the original piece did, and the metal looks like cheap pot metal. We shall see. They do seem to function fine.
