please help me find out what quad this is????

[ponchonutty]

Just as the title states. I picked up this quad or what's left of it for next to nothing. It doesn't have a motor and the plastic seems to be all new but aftermarket. I looked everywhere even under the tank when I took all the plastic off and can't find a vin tag anywhere. I have the rear rims which are gold on the outside and silver on the inside. Any help or tips would be great.

I'm gonna take a stab at it, and say that it's a Yamaha Blaster? I have no idea though... I think it looks like a Yammie.

[ponchonutty]

Yeah, I was thinking more of a Blaster than a Warrior like the guy thought it was. It' just weird that there's no name on it anywhere.

It appears to me to be a chinese knock off of a blaster (99-00?)frame. If it is than it came with a replica honda trail 90, 110 or a older xr 200 motor. several of the parts from the Honda (motor) and Yamaha(frame) will fit. If it is a Yam the # will be stamped in on the on the frame near the swing arm. Also note left hand exhaust hanger.

[ponchonutty]

OK. I'll look around the swingarm area. To me, it doesn't look like a knockoff because I already have one (lt50) and the knockoffs seem very cheap and light. This thing is very heavy.

take off the plastics

but it looks like a knockoff. the frame on goes inward while most quads stay straight. the rear axle carrier is too wimpy to be anything but a knockoff. I work around quads and ive never seen anything like that. I know those are lt250r plastics though.

when i go into work tomorrow, i will have some guys take a look at it

[ponchonutty]

Hey, I found out what it is. It's a Yamaha 250 quadsport. Now all I have to do is find an engine for it.

[shawnyD]

its a suzuki lt230s. finding an engine is gunna be rough. i wouldnt even bother with it. I would just part it out on ebay. parts, well, good luck finding parts...


If you can find a cheap engine, go for it. but if it isnt the 230 liquid cooled, you will have to make ur own engine mounts. the cost to get that frame to move is gunna cost around 300-400 if you are lucky. i see engines sell for 500, with another 300 you could buy a yamaha blaster for 800. My girlfriend just bought a blaster today, without me knowing for 600 bucks and its an 02.

I agree with shawnyd....it looks like my old suzuki quad sport 230....

[ponchonutty]

Well, the good news is that I think I found the original motor! I don't know how much of it is actually there. Sometime next week I'm gonna try to pick it up. It's a long story on how the bike went one direction and the motor went another.

If I can't get it going for next to nothing then I'll piece it out. I've got a real nice cr80 that I could tear apart and transplant the motor???? I'd love to find a Blaster or really anything for $600!
wtwe, I assume that this color isn't correct? I was curious because I've never seen one this color combo from either the frame being lime green or the fenders being blue.

********UPDATE********
Well, you'll never believe it but I followed a long trail to the original motor, well most of it anyway. I guess the punk that owned this bike had blown the motor and brought it to this small engine shop like 3 years ago and never came back. The guy actually kept the motor and didn't do anything with it. It's missing the top end (jug, cyl., and valves) but the whole bottom end is complete and looks real usable. So, now I'm on a hunt to find the parts I need. Of course I'm being as cheap as I can ever be. One thing has me perplexed is that there's no lights or really any switches anywhere on this chassis. I assume this must have been taken off at one time or other.

its either a suzuki lt250r or a lt500r
