Sorry Fast400. I don't have your model, but I do have a 2000 Quadmaster which hasn't given me any problems. Have you talked to the dealer about it (or written to Suzuki)?? How many miles are on it and how do you ride (a lot of mud, water and rough trails, or do you baby it)?

 

I own a 2000 LTF 500 quadrunner. I have 27" blackwater XT's and a lift and haven't had any problems yet. I ride 90% deep mud, swamps etc. I've rolled it over once, going up a hill that was way to steep. No problems at all. Hopefully you can take your machine somewhere where it can be repaired. Good luck.

 

Well to tell you the truth i don't think there was a day when i was taking it easy on it. I usually rode it wide open all the time, mud bog the heck out of it, jumped it, rode on two wheels, crossed flooded creeks and so on. I'm pretty sure it has 4050 miles on it. I haven't wrote to suzuki yet but i have plans on it.
