Stu Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I hit those guys up in the link and unfortunately they dont stock the sizes that are on my quad. Almost thinking of changing the tire size but I guess being 4wd they need to be the same fonrt/rear ratio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVMPAJ Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 Sizes will be important especially in 4WD. Have almost finished reassembling the Quadrunner ...now it's a King Quad! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVMPAJ Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 Question is with the bits left over do I attempt to build one up from virtually scratch . I'll need a frame for starters . TM has one but it's way down the bottom of the South Island , so freight is the killer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 What size tires are you running on yours? Mines the same quad - starting to question the size of the tires on it TBH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVMPAJ Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Im not sure what mine are , I keep forgetting to write them down before heading home !!! But I use this site for identifying parts http://www.suzukipartshouse.com/oemparts/c/suzuki_atv/parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Any leads on how to work out the year from the vin number? You've spurred me into working on mine again I found this manual if you needed one https://spaces.hightail.com/receive/okCno/fi-bbf7899f-ee74-4dcb-8d4e-b0a1ba7b7924/fv-7b7ae76d-c7e1-4289-b33d-5a4e2fc934ef/1987 - 1998 Suzuki Quad Runner 250 King Quad 280 Service Manual.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVMPAJ Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 Cool thanks for that . Yeah I found a code system on a forum somewhere that tells how to work out the year . My VIN number has a few digits that are hard to read due to the rust . I'll try and find the forum again and put the link up. Here's my VIN .

Stu Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 My vin is really weird by comparison, unless its not the vin and just another number. I found the number AJ45A-105973 on one of the chassis uprights on the back. You don't have a spare voltage regulator by any chance? Mine isnt charging currently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVMPAJ Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 That looks like the VIN, sorry I haven't got any spares.....yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVMPAJ Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 Here's one site it says mines in the 90s !!! I think there's another site for working out the year exactly , https://www.motorcyclespareparts.eu/suzuki-parts/model-prefix.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVMPAJ Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 Right here we go , there should be 17 numbers / letters . The first three letters mean bugger all . The next five you'll find in the first link . The tenth one is the year code . Mine is R so it's a 94. First thing you need to do is confirm your number of digits .....17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Hmm weird, mine definitely doesn't have 17digits, I wire brushed it all and the extra digits didn't appear I know its 1990+ as the voltage regulator is shown in the manual as being the 1990+ version. I'd be keen to turbo mine if I could find an oil supply to feed the turbo with - I've got a few tiny turbos laying around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVMPAJ Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 Na sorry no spares but yep.that's the VIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVMPAJ Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 I've starting stripping the 300 it's got an oil cooler so that would give the required oil line for turbos. The front CVs are a bugger to remove from the front diff. But I googled it and found the way. Just a crow bar and hammer and they re off . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVMPAJ Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 Right have stripped down "Rusty" just the rear shocks and the odd bit that might be needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVMPAJ Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 Here's the new frame , compare it with the original and see the difference 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVMPAJ Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 Right have finally had a chance to start putting quad2 back together slow progress will need a few nutsand bolts as the originals are slightly rusty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVMPAJ Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Picked up some parts , rear universal , two complete front cv joints , some suspension bits , cv boots and brake drum . Will use the cv , the rest of the bits will be spare parts for both where needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
