My girlfriend has an 04 and the thing just seized up and it is out of warrenty. It ran out of oil due to a faulty genuine suzuki filter.
Now I have to pull out the paper weight of a motor and rebuild it. Is there any performance parts out there for this slouch?
It probably needs a new cam anyways. I don't think it needs to be bored/new piston but if there is a reasonably priced high comp piston we will probably get it.

 

You mean your girlfriends Vinson is a pile of crap[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Yea it's my quad and I blew it up! Can't believe there's no oil light or low oil shutoff.....I didn't even know it was losing oil b/c it was all caught in my skid plates! My warranty was up just last month! That was a very expensive ride last weekend! So if we gotta fix it n e ways, we should do it right! But are there performance parts available?

 

for a vinson, get an exhaust first and then an air filter and a jet kit, that thing should fly all for about 320$

 

maybe in the future.....but right now he's only looking for what's needed to fix my motor...and hopefully get some more power out of it....

 

Phone the suzuki rep for your area and explain what happend and you might get it fixed as a "good will to customer". G.M. fixed my truck this way.

 

If you can show it was a defective, genuine filter that caused the failure, I would think Suzuki would cover it? At least the parts?

Couldn't hurt to ask.

 

Best of luck to you, and God's grace, as I hear Suzuki is a clan of tight fisted bastards when it comes to out of warrany "good will".

Why not 581 kit it? Shouldn't be TOO much more expensive since you'll need a new piston anyway (most likely).

 

here it is the complete info on what it entails

95mm piston 195$

Nikasil Cyclinder sleeve-275$

Cyclinder sleeve installation-150$

Head Gasket-30$

Bore Cases-50$

Cam-150$

Valve springs-95$

Port and Flow cyclinder head-250$

fst 37mm carb kit-250$

it is now 11:1 compression ratio, on 93 octane a must.

in order to install this kit the following must be done

remove old sleeve by boreing

bore case to accomadate larger sleeve

A aftermarket pipe is a must Yoshimura, and HMF are the only ones that accomadate the mass flow of air

K&N filter

Possibley a re-clutching to compensate for the higher rpms of the motor.

The vinson will now be able to do wheel standing wheelies, from a rolling start, or while at a clip. total cost ranges from

1300 for the kit about, to 1600 with clutching and pipe.- a good pipe is a HMF, or a Yoshi, the pipe jet filter, will be about 220$, dont get a jet kit. -0 just go to the dealer, or someware and buy individual jets at 4 dollars a jet, fst should be able to set you up with numbers.

Thankyou for your replies. I really have to take it apart to see exactly what it needs and take it from there. I'll let you guys know how it turns out.
