Maybe it is the worst service record in history that sets them apart! Please forgive me for sounding so caustic but I have taken a lot of hits for staying true to Suzuki.... and now it's payback time! Does anyone know what I'm saying?

There is nothing wrong with the Polaris guys liking their machines just like you like your Suzuki. You say Polaris stinks. What about Suzuki's not fixing the King Quad properly? A bandaid and 5 year warranty just doesn't cut it. If you think it does, why don't you go tell the poor guy on one of the other forums that lost his reverse and got his new machine back all hacked up. I'm afraid to say this will be more common than not as most dealers don't pay enough to hire decent mechanics that can do the job properly. Some do but the majority don't.

And for the record, I have owned a King Quad for 6 months and have seen first hand what the failures look like. It is real and does happen more that you care to admit.

You're wasting your breath. It doesn't matter to the kool-aid drinkers. As long as it wins all the magazine shoot-outs and ATV-TV says it is great the kool-aid drinkers care not for the screwed up reverse; the screwed up way Suzuki tried to fix it at first, the no-lube screwing they are giving owners of knowingly defective machine by not replacing every defectively designed reverse gear. On top of that the company is currently knowingly unloading ATVs with the defective reverse to unsuspecting buyers. Despicable business practices.

Suzuki listened to the accountants and lawyers instead of doing the right thing by their customers. Prospective owners should know about it.

I don't particularly care if the kool-aid drinkers knowingly buy defective ATVs but I feel bad for the guy who plonks down 7k on a defective machine with a ticking time bomb in the case that Suzuki will not fix until it breaks.

Kool-aid drinkers don't like the fact that their beloved KQ has some problems prospective owners should be aware of. It appears that they have some deep seated need to have as many people in the boat with them so as to reaffirm their purchase and to constantly reassure them that.."The KQ is the best evr!1!!!!111!!!" "OMG it rox!!1!!I rode ti in the parking lot and outran a BF a griz and a Ferrari testerossa and I pulled a hummer out of the mud with it in reverse!!!1111!!!!1OMG it wuz so AWSOME!!!111!!!!"

That kind of blind brand loyalty is nothing short of a neurosis.
