Just went to the dealer and said i could get an 06 r450 for $5500. Think thats a good deal? Im deciding between the r450 or the trx 450r.

 

Yeah that's a good deal. I paid $6199 for mine about a month ago. It had a major engine failure and has been in the shop for almost 2 weeks now. So far I'm not impressed with suzuki's customer service. They had to get some of my parts shipped from canada.

 

What was wrong with your engine. Have any other problems with it?

 

Engine just started running terrible, backfiring, no power, maybe 2 hours on it. They say a piece of the piston broke off and was hitting the spark plug. It's supposed to be ready tomorrow--but we'll see. I hope to find out more and maybe get some pics of the bad parts.

 

Pics???

Bump

Finally got it back--still doesn't run right. I haven't gotten it out to the desert to know for sure, but I suspect it's going back to a different dealer for repair. Steer clear of LA Cycle Sports if you want any customer service!

 

I was at the dealer today, and the Suzuki was discounted $1,000 cheaper than any other 450. Maybe they aren't moving, so they have to discount them????? A lot of folks probably regard this as a "track" quad that's to wide for the trail, and just pass it over..........

I love my 450R, but I only ride it in the desert not woods trails. There, I ride the 400EX or Rancher.

 

the suzuki has problems...EFI engine meltdown...first year cursed...i have heard of more than a few in for service. TRX450R is a better choice between the two.
