Default Vinson owners!!

Hello guys, new member here, I just bought a 2006 Suzuki Vinson about a month ago, and i was wondering how other Vinson owners were enjoying their machines. Has anyone had any major problems out of their Vinson's? I have about 200 miles on mine and I love it! so far i have seen no signs of trouble......would love to hear from other

I love my vinny and the only trouble that i have had is the rear brake, At 1000 km the rotor was ruined and the pads totally wore out. But I do drive it very hard. and in there is a lot of mud on our trails. I gone to esb brake parts to see if they last a little longer. will let you know the results..

250 trouble free miles on mine. the only complaint i have is the very week front bumper. i had someone pull me out of a mudhole by the hook on the winch plate and it bent the lower part of the bumper. i will be getting a warn bumper soon. it has a ton of power also to be a 500. ive been very impressed with mine so far.

Absolutely love mine. 26 mudlites, skid plates, winch and kept it for my wife to ride. One of the best on the market for value.

iv got 2000 miles on mine and the only problems iv had are problems my dealer who is a good friend of mine has never seen on a vinson except for the muffler rattles. other than that i have broken a cv joint on the front left and blown the servo out of the front diff. the servo thing was caused by a c clip that fell off on the inside and was covered under waarenty as was everything else. all the techs at the dealership love it when i come in because i seem to be the one who finds all the weak spots of the machine. they all seem to wana ride with me because i ride harder than anyone they have ever seen before from the looks of my quad but im not sure they would cover my warenty if they saw me ride.

Almost 300 miles on mine, my only complaint is the rear breaks. I just replaced the pads because the brake material seperated from the "plate" on the outer pad. The inner one is just located by a slot so that fell out. I ride through a lot of mudd though and had a similar problem with the front brakes on my Ozark. Cheap OEM pads???
