Hey Suzuki designers..What were you thinking??

...Well we just brought home a new King Quad ...and I can't believe what they were thinking, when they designed, the "check Oil" dip stick location......you have to remove a large size plastic side cover, with those pos, push out rivet pins to get access when you want to check the oil..duh....!!! Ever hear of -25 below zero and do that..!! Love the machine though....butt head engineers !! design first..think later[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

Dumber yet is the lack of access to the belt drain on the stock skid plate. At least it was added to the factory aluminum one.

That is what happens when you take one engine and try to build a dozen different machnies around it.

nope,no more suzuki for me,from now on it's honda.suzuki just wants to get a machine out as fast as possible which in turn causes poor decission making and poor quality.the 400EX has a BEARING instead of a BUSHING for the steering stem.even in the trx 90 there is a bearing!!

What else are they building around this engine? I havent heard of anything except a few rumours about a kfx700 type machine.

I guess we wont bring up the Honda 450, and the problems that they have had, and the fact that Suzuki hasn't yet released a 450, because they are taking it slow and designing it better...

But we wont talk about that.....

TC-Great point! Yeah, yeah, Suzuki sucks! That's why their stuff keeps winning shootouts! Bang for the buck means nothing! To quote mall chicks-"Whatever" But, a few glaring "dumb-a$$" oversights DO NOT spoil the overall package!

Now then-Chad, does Decatur Lakeview H.S. still exist? We used to play those guys in football. Bad bunch. It was like entering a prison, or Roman collusium-through the gladiator's entrance......total lockdown!

show me one honda or polaris or yamaha or kawi, that is as reliable as the ol vinny, or as fast in that class, thats why it won a shootout with bb quads in it thats some impressive **** to me.
