I have decided on a 2003 Suzuki Eiger 4x4 Auto that i will be getting in the middle of October. I know all the features and specifications on them but i have never test drove one. I have heard and read reviews on them and they all gave great reports on this bike! Can anyone tell me how you have liked yours so far? Like how is it in mud, top end speed, and any other details you could give me i would really appreciate it!!!!!!
later

 

Short story: You'll love it!

The Eiger is a great all-around bike. Very light steering, likes to rev quickly and is just all around fun to ride. After 400 miles, I was finally able to get mine stuck in the mud - in a soft mucky hole that came up over the tops of the front fenders. I was trying to push it just to see what could stop it as it can pull its way through most everything. Ground clearance is good and the plastic skidplate just slides over everything.

Top speed is in the mid 50's. Gas milage is good - about 25 mpg or more so you get an easy 100 mile range. From what the dealers say, the auto may be just a bit slower/ less powerful than the 5-speed but not by much.

Best of luck with it.

Hmmmm,check out my question in the Suzuki forums....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

If you get an Eiger go with a manual tranny. If jaybeecon55 is getting to the mid fifties its a lot faster than the auto. My cousins auto will run 47 with him all out hammered.

 

need some help with my eiger, took it out yesterday had great time but got water in my belt and cant find the plug to drain. anyone help

 

A buddy of mine had a 400 Eiger auto. It has a pretty good ride for a SRA machine, adequate but not thrilling power, and proved to be reliable. I felt it was a lot of machine for the price.

I don't recall if the CVT housing has a drain, or if you have to pull the cover...

 

Terrible gas mileage but runs really go. At half throttle and can do 50 mph only have 110 on it 2007 Eiger What till I give it full throttle.

 

I HAVE JUST POSTED FOR HELP INFO. WE HAVE HAD OUR EIGER SINCE IT WAS NEW. I HAVE HAD CARB. PROBLEMS AND NOW A COUPLE OF MAGNETS HAVE COME LOSE FROM THE FLYWHEEL. GOOD BIKE UNTIL NOW. THE PRICE FOR A FLYWHEEL CAN RUN FROM 350 TO 500 IF YOU FIX IT YOUR SELF. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT SOME RIDERS GLUE THE MAGNET BACK AND IT WORKS FINE. CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT GLUE TO USE. I AM A BASEBALL COACH AND I NEED THE BIKE TO KEEP OUR FIELD UP.. OR CAN ANYONE TELL ME OF A PLACE TO BUY AN USED FLYWHEEL.

 

A 400 Eiger/KQ is in our group, you will not be disappointed. I was going to buy one but I needed a full size chassis and the Eiger was like my Big bear a Mid size chassis.
