My friend has a 02' Ozark, its got like crazy mods on it. One big problem happened though, the frame broke. He is in the process of writing a letter to Suzuki to complain about the frame, and how it shouldnt break after only 2 years of riding. Any suggestions of what he should do? Once he gets it fixed he is definitly selling. He knows what he is doing, pretty much taught me everything I know about riding, he's no dummy. He didnt like flip it and crash it into a tree to break the frame. He thinks its defective. It had no problems before and now it just like, broke. Thanks for your help. Happy Riding

 

call suzuki,they will just sit there and hear you talk,they will also....i dunno let them know of your intentions.bottom line is your friend is out of luck.sorry man i'm not going to b.s you with the good things that might happen.fact is if he doesnt have a suzuki warranty,he is done.

I WILL SAY IT AGAIN PEOPLE...SUZUKI=JUNK!!!!TRUST ME I OWN A Z400.

 

Your friend is going to be very lucky if they replace the frame. Suzuki acknowledged the Z400 frame was weak, but they still didn't do anything about it as far as replacement.

 

So his best bet i'm guessing is to fix it himself his best and sell it?

 

hey there TURD . suzuki is not junk. heck maybe your screen name explains your problem.......[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

oh really,then explain to me why i need wheel bearings already.my buds honda don't need them.
how bout tentioner bolts snapping in half,hondas don't do that.
how bout a bent frame from hitting a rock,honda has reinforsed frame where suzuki does not.
how bout a blown right shock,my bud rides on the same trails and has the setting on firm,and he is bigger than me, who's shock should have blown first?i have only had this thing for almost two years.in my opinion,this is not normal.suzuki is lazy,zero customer support and has a patronizing demeanor.now i suppose that someone is going to blame me for riding it to hard.or not maintaining it enough.you can't maintain a front shock,nor wheel bearings either.i will be waiting for your response

 

ive been there already

just i got mine replaced for free and it was an upgrade frame and i havent had any problems if you like the machine go to suzuki and see if they had anyone else come in with a broken frame, i dont know it might be different where you are, they replaced mine and i didnt have a warranty


by the way what kind of mods does he have on it?

 

hers my reply whiner your name says it all TURD. or do i need to explain that to you also.look im not trying to pick a fight or make enemies on here. but you really cant blame the whole problem on a suzuki. i ride the crap out of my lt and i race it also. in my last tt a bent a tie rod.who should i blame for that. god forbid it was my fault. listen if you ride these things and work them there gonna break. and yes you can service wheel bearings. maintenance goes along way and while your doing that you look for other problems so you can fix them before they get bigger. quit your bitchin and go ride.....

 

Hey your friend could probably could get someone to build a new frame. The samething happend to my freind and had to get someone to make a frame.

 

Its a swamper..gots outlaws, snorkel, 3''custom lift, winch, the whole shibang...btw here the the link for the site he made..he's the one with the long hair on the ozark, name's Chris.http://quadmen.funtigo.com/ ...oh man the site is going down but oh well. He even built a custom exhaust snorklel. THis ozark is crazy./
