Hi, I'm going to look at an ATV tomorrow. However, I'm not sure about the transmission. Here is part of the craigslist thread:
2007 suzuki quad runner 4 wheel drive 500 cc engine

I presume that it may be a vinson.

I currently own an 09 Prairie 360 4x4 - i have to completely stop before engaging 4wd.
I also own an 09 Polaris 500 Sportsman - I can shift into 4wd while in motion.

I researched Suzuki's 07 lineup and there appears to be an automatic and a semi-automatic 500, and both are Vinson Utility atvs.

With that said, what is the likely transmission on the suzuki?
Is it indeed a Vinson?

thanks

 

This is a 03 Vinson review but I do not think the machine had any changes. ATV Television Test - 2003 Suzuki Vinson 500 4x4 - YouTube

 

LOL I just watch the video and they do not seem to mention if you can turn on 4wd on the fly. Nice ATV though.

 

yes it is a vinson....there were more automatics made than 5 speeds.

Vinson is a great machine, it lacks a locking front differential though...really it's only downside. GREAT brakes and handling, plenty of power, comfortable ride even for being a solid rear axle.
