Why doesn't Suzuki produce any more spoert quads? From what I have heard and read the lt250r and Quadzilla were two bad quads. So why did Suzuki stop?

 

The same reasons most companies quit, they were getting sued left and right. At least Suzuki held out a bit longer than most. Yamaha of course carried the torch through the high performance lean times with the awesome Banshee.

The LT's were excellent quads, except for the early 'zilla's when they had cylinder problems. If you're in the market, don't by the 87's or 88's. But the 250's were all good!

I don't know either. Sorry!!

 

Its only the 87 quadzilla that had engine trouble. The problem was the studs kept stretching and it would blow a headgasket. (mine did after 3 years) (very quick and simple) a good remidy would be to replace the studs with hardened ones...and perminent remidy is to simply buy a 88-90 jug....(they added an extra stud)not reason enough to stay away from the 87 (there alot cheaper becuase of the fear of problems)
The 87 offered more power and more compression that the other models...they lowered the compression in 88-90, making them easier to start. Any other problems with the quadracers was just like any other 2 stroke.

I think the suzuki engine problems are more `talk` than actual problems.

 

A side note regarding the LT 500 R, They are BAD. A mans machine if there ever was one! But the handling leavies something t be desired!.

they dont make them anymore cause they were no good at the start.
