look first of i was very nice when i went in there i wasnt angy at all but when you spend 8000.00 for a bike and it breaks of no falt of your own
it really ticks me off chad told to drive the bike in low range across my field on flat gound the bike is a piece of crap you know i didnt buy it from you
thanks that why you did not want to fix it i have 700 twin polaris with same tires on it pulls tires my little triler and gos in the mud find chad acts like even should put in the mud and you lie i didnt skid across the parking lot and never came close to chad when pull off get your story stright
i ask chad if i needed to use my winch to put it on my trailer a 12" incline he said no why i said you said need to drive it around my field in low
i was scared i mess it up again

 

i see you are running 26" mudlites on your bike so i guess if your belt burns up at no falt of your own suzuki say your tires did it that ok with you right ! sure he told to drive it in low range across my field do you drive yours on flat ground in low if you read your owner manul i was useing a 25" tire

 

Something dosen't jibe with the 120# log story [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] . Maybe you should've just stuck with your 700 twin polaris.

 

there was something wrong with it when i got it and suzuki dont want to own up to it
you are right ishould have stuck with the polaris but i didnt

 

Is the story changing now ?

 

no way

 

I'm not taking sides here, just going to give my opinion.....

if it cost $200+ to replace a belt on a Suzuki, glad I didn't buy one. I bought a new polaris this year, but was looking at the EFI Suzuki also. Need EFI for the altitude changes that I ride, from around 4500-13000 feet. Polaris has a 6 month warranty on their machines, but lifetime on the belt. The dealer told me that he wouldn't charge me labor even after warranty if I smoked a belt and would also adjust as necessary.

As far as pulling logs, it can put some extreme stress on the clutch setup, same as pulling any heavy load. I've seen many auto's with clutchs not adjusted perfectly from the factory, and sometimes need some adjustments or tuning.

As far as saying that your not the factory...you really are. When you sell Suzuki's or whatever, you are the representative of that company. Suzuki doesn't sell direct, so you are the focal point and the POC.

Can't tell from reading this post, but sounds like there is more to the story about towing the log. Not picking on you, just sounds like there is more, thats all. Just as any other manufacturer, machines break down for many reasons.

Also to the dealer, 'roughing' up the 'glazed' area, that shouldn't be necessary unless there are remnants of the belt on there. Even when I've seen smoked belts, that was the fix, thats a design flaw...unless of course the belt was smoked and he kept smoking it....then it would glaze and require to be cleaned...

 

I think polaris had to offer a lifetime warr. on the belt because they had so much trouble with them.

 

thanks, but it was a tree and the bike is rated to handle 900Lb + pound when you can pull a moose for 6 mile and no problems. there must be a problem with that bike .by the way he not telling the whole story the bike is 1 mo old 135 mile on it they told me my tires was a big factor
they are nuts but i took my tires off and put the stock ones on .

 

Not anymore...you can still smoke a belt, but its pretty hard....same as with other manufacturers, this thread is representative of that. It all comes down to clutching, how it is setup, etc....if you replace the polaris belt with a Dayco, it grabs better, but is harder on the clutch hardware...I've seen many machines smoke belts other than polaris....

Cabletech, that isn't many miles or time, so I'm guessing that either the log was too big to for the machine to handle or the clutch needed some tuning. I've never owned a KG, but have friends that have them, but I don't ride with them much. I know one of them cooked a belt when it had about the same amount of miles as yours, but I don't remember why, but I think it was just hard riding at high altitude.
