ok guys i got a 93 suzuki 230 quadrunner...when ya give it gas the swingarm runs up under you....which brings the front end up...and it allows the shock to hit on the frame...have any of u had this problem?

This is just a guess but did you check your akle bearings? The axle isn't binding up on ya is it.

Is there a bolt or linkage broke somewhere, and are the swingarm bushings good?

alright guys...the swingarm bearing are great...the axle bearing are good.....what it seems like is that the swingarm is to long or to short for it...is that possible?...what would u guys suggest in checking?

I've ridden 2 230's and they both did that. It was annoying because the suspension would be extremely stiff when you accelerate. your shock could also be blown.

is it possible that the swingarm is for the wrong machine?

sounds to me like you need some bushings in the pivot

could it be anything else?..and how much do u think it would be for them bearings?

Posted by: suzukiracer
