My Bomb dealer who is exclusively Bombardier has an opportunity to pick up the Suzuki ATV line. My questions are how are they all holding up? Do they need to be serviced a lot? Are you satisfied with your bikes? Thanks

Have'nt had any problems with mine. I still need to take it in for the tie rod ends and something with the throttle cable.

Are you happy with the power of the King Quad? Comfort? Handling? How are the stock tires? Any other Suzuki owners here?

I'm happy with the power, I can pull my brothers boat around with ease and my enclosed sled trailer with both sleds. My neighbor used it this weekend to haul a trailer full of wood into the back yard and he was concered that it could'nt handle it, I just laughed at him and told him not to be scared, he was suprised and loaded the second trailer with more wood. I have'nt rode any atv that was more comfortable but that's not to say that there isn't one. I can go 120 miles on a ride and I'm not sore. The handling is very good, just alot different than a SRA. The tires have been fine for where I have rode it, I will say that the back tires seem rather lame but since I missed my chance at those new Bighorns and Maxxis 4X4 rims for 400 bucks on ebay I will be testing out the stockers through winter. I noticed a 2 inch slice in the rear tire running crossways right behind one of the lugs but other than that no problems. The only thing I don't like is all the limiters and the override crap but you already knew that! How come Rooster has'nt made any comments yet?

I got a VINSON 2003 with 2389 miles on it. Never been back to the dealer, no problems is pretty much everything Suzuki claimed it to be. Very happy with it,The only complaint is that it didn't have an over ride switch for reverse. Witch I put one on. The KQ comes with one. A friend of mine has a KQ and is also very happy with it.

I know bunches about Yami's and some about the cats and of course the Outty but not a lot on the Suzukis

Osokill-- My Vinson was a direct replacement for the Artic Cat 500 that I previously owned. Here are the differances. The Suzuki is much -faster-handles lots better-ride is close with the edge going to the Suzuki -side hilling is a little more stable- steers a lot easier. And is more fun to ride. The AC500 has more ground clearance-little better stock tires-steers harder-was a good dependable machine. I put 2900 miles on it and thought it was a great Quad. But the Suzuki in my opinion is better at almost everything. Plus the Suzi was several hundered dollars cheaper. I sold the Artic Cat when for no reason the frame broke; Had it welded first. I never jump my Quads or any of that suff as they all have been utility machines. I feel that should be left to Sport Quads. I bought the Vinson Auto, but I think if I did it again I would get the manual shift. No special reason other than the manual has 1 more hp. and a little faster. The AC500 had a top speed of 52-53 mph-- THe Suzuki has top speed of 61-63 mph. Thats all I could get out of them both. Tested on the same gravel road. All you would have to do is ride the two and you would feel & see the differance pretty quick. Even though they both have the same engine (SUZUKI) when it gets in the AC it looses a lot of power. First found that out when I went riding with a buddy that had a Suzuki 500 and I had the AC500 both were the same year, he would just run away from me. LIke I said I think the Cat is a good machine but I like the Zuki better. ps. I owned several Suzuki & Yamaha motorcycles and never had a bad one of either.
