Hi there, my name is aaron, live in New Zealand and am the proud owner of a suzuki vinson LTF-500.

this is my first ATV, have always had RM-Z, CR's YZ motocross bikes but now im getting abit old for that stuff as my body's recovery rate is taking abit longer as it use to lol. so the two wheelers have gone and i got the vinson for abit of fun and its a bit more family oreintated then two wheels.

here we have plenty of different places too ride ranging from rocks, mud (and lots of it!) bush trails, and coastal riding.

i chose the vinson of a few different other ATV's like Honda TRX500, yamaha grizzly/kodiak, polaris (out of my price range and not very common here). a few of my mate have the Hondas and have experianced
major gearbox issues so wasnt to keen on them, the model of yamahas i could afford could only offer full time 4x4 which wasnt an option. so i tested the Vinson and yeah i couldnt complain about it, more power then the Hondas, OHC, water cooling, alloy wheels, plusher suspension so i brought it.

is there anything i should watch out for or becareful with the vinson ?
manitance/servicing etc?

regards aaron
