It might just be another Suzuki, but it sure does look alot better. I like the looks of the Dvx, alot more than the Suzuki and Kawasaki.

HackHunter I didn't know that Suzuki had quick change fenders, ARE YOU SURE it's just another Suzuki?
Little changes can make a big difference.

hey hozed If you dont like the zs then why dont you go back to the never get out forums and the broken trans polaris section instead of bringing your bad attitude? why all the hate all the atvs out there have little glitches, and the frames have been fixed and you know what there is not a timing chain adjuster issue your friend may have just had a faulty one. I tell you this I work at a dealership and we sell honda, suzuki, kawa, and yamaha, and Ive sold probally 25 kfxs and zs and you know what not one came back with a single problem no broken frame and no timing chain tensioner problems. my frinend at a polaris dealer up the street was going to get a pretator but had a few come back with trans problem. so are you going to speak with facts or are you going to completly bash the z because your friend had bad luck with one?

don't forget about the cracked heads on the Predators. Wasn't polaris' fault. The supplier was using a bad cast while molding the heads.

The problem is fixed now and Polaris has made it good with those who bought machines in that particular run.

the frames are updated and they are alot better they are thicker and have better welds maybe they still have weak points but they did improve them the only stories about the broken ones is by the guys doing cross country, and ive only heard one guy complain but things break in cross country look at what your doing in the race to the bike.
