how good are the lt 230 frames and suspension?
i don't care about the motor, just is the frame strong, so it wont crack going over jumps. I would gusset it also.

there junk weve had more than 6 of them there all crap, i dont know if you can do anything with the frames or swingarms, they crack bad, the swingarms get sloppy chain destroys the case, no case savers, crappy shift linkage , crappy built motors, slow as hell, just the whole thing is a poorly designed pos dont buy one!

wow....thanks
off that idea

are the 300ex and mojave frames better, how bout a lt 250 they should be better right?

the mojave is rougher ride i think out of all of the things you stated the 300ex is the best way to go although the mojave is faster but the 300ex is gonna have the best handling and durability

yeah i dont care about motor, just the frame, they would get a new motor any way.

so over the mojave and the 300ex the 300ex is best handeling and strongest frame?.

I agree that ir would be really cool to put a CR engien in any chassis, it will be a lot of work, and it will vibrate. Stay away from most suzuki frames, all hondas ive seen have good frames, the banshee and warrior both have good frames to put things into also.

ya seei did want to put it in a shee frame, but most people said why would you want to do that. Whay put a slower motor in the shee frame.

but i think it would be cool, i like how they look, i know they are strong, and it already has a radiator.
