I've had my Z for over a year now, it's been quite impressive. I've had zero problems with mine except the fuel tank breather got clogged once, and lost a screw on the side of the carb. I do alot of trails and woods riding, after putting on the pipe, air box mod, and dropping down a tooth, couldn't be happier. Just common stuff, like brake pads, oil changes, and it goes. Very happy with mine.

I love mine. The front shocks are too soft stock but otherwise I don't have any complaints. The power is smooth, it revs out like crazy and it handles great. I installed a PRM rear skid and an Armadillo chassis skid. The OEM rear tires are too short for rocky terrain (20's) so I relaced them with 22" Maxxis All-Traks. I've not had any problems with my quad and I got it used.

downside.....i keep having this prob where its eitehr getting water or air somewhere its not supposed to be cuz the thing runs like crap....took it tot he dealer showed them the prob they look it over and can't find a thing wrong

overall i think i prolly wouldn't buy a suzuki again though......having a brand new bike and having probs with it just really turned me off and makes me wish i would have kept my old bike or stayed with the same brand when i got a new one
well if the dealer cant find anything wrong with the quad, either you just think it runs like crap, or you need to rejet it. Either that or its one of those one in a million things where something is just wrong that the dealer cant spot, in that case i'd get ahold of suzuki, hopefully your still under warranty

i love ours. it has great, snappy power, the suspension is very cushy which i like. some of the more aggressive people will complain that the shocks on this thing are to soft, but i like a nice plush ride and i have never bottomed the shocks even on some bigger jumps. ive also heard complaints about it being cramped for an over 6 ft tall rider, but im 6' 3" 170 pounds and i think it feels very roomy. shifting is very smooth, and the brakes are also very good, front and rear. especially the fronts, they will stop you on a dime. it slides great and jumps great, wheelies are easy to. handling is very good and it never feels tippy. fender protection sucks but thats what you get on a sport quad. it could also use a little more low end grunt, but what it already has is satisfactory.

overall, a great all around machine that is fun to ride anywhere and definitely worth the money.

I jump with mine and never had a problem yet with anything breaking

they do wheelie very easy
