I bought a suzuki 700 king quad in the summer of 05. I took the four wheeler in for a recall on the throttle in january of 06. I had approximately 600 miles on the four wheeler when I brought it into the dealership and approximately 30 miles on the four wheeler after the recall. I was riding on the night of friday march 10TH with a couple of friends on my hunting club, and my throttle stuck wide open, threw me off of the four wheeler injuring my shoulder, and causing the four wheeler to run into a tree with out me on it. when I got up I had to run over to the four wheeler and turn the key off for it was still at full speed. the throttle cable housing was broken causing the throttle to stick open. I have a statement from the dealer that I took it back to the next morning that the throttle was still stuck open when I brought it into the dealership. I have been dealing with suzuki for 2 and a half weeks now and finally got a response from them tuesday march 28. the person I was dealing with never physically looked at the four wheeler, only pictures and determined that suzuki was not at fault, and would not do anything to make it right. according to the person on the phone there was a chance, be it slim, that a rock could have hit the throttle cable causing it to break. this IS near impossible due to a rubber casing surrounding the throttle cable housing. also he tried to say a stick could have hit it, judging by the way the housing was broken, I would have had to have been in reverse and the stick would have had to come through my handle bar to have hit this housing and break it where it was broken. when I spoke with suzuki on tuesday march 28, they informed me to file it on my insurance. I should not have to file this on my insurance, causing my premiums to increase due to a manufacturers defect. I use my four wheeler daily on our farm, and this down time IS hurting me severely. thus far, on my request, the dealership has not touched the four wheeler. *jb

Cross bar on the vs1400 '' S83'' IS hitting the ground and kicking the bike back tire up and that I not pleased with this bike. I have only had this bike for a month and the cross bar has hit the ground 4 times and the 4TH time involved me in sliding the bike across the street in a curve. this has also happened to another person while riding this bike. I ride every day 5 to 7 days a week rain or shine cold or hot. I am always on a bike. I do not wish to dye yet on this one\ from a cross over bar that needs to be moved. this bike IS unsafe in it current condition. this problem has never happened on any other bike I have owned or ridden. This letter IS to allow you to correct the problem not at my risk of it happening a 5TH time. Either by placing the foot pegs in-front of the engine like on most ever other bike giving me a different bike altogether or refunding the money to get ride of the loan on the bike. I am unwilling to continue to drive this bike year round in it current condition. This problem was previously reported when I picked up my saddlebags some were around 05/13/2005 and on 05/31/2005 to jessie after I had the slide out ''crash'' and he talked to the manager or the owner and then told me that I sure bring it in and he would adjust it. There IS nothing to adjust the cross bar needs to be pulled out from under the frame and placed in-front of the frame like on a harley or like on any other bikes line. it IS currently at the cycle country shop taken there on 06/03/2005 being repaired from the slide out it did. The only reason I am not seriously hurt because of wearing the riding gear at the time. If a car had come around the corner at the time of the slide I would not be here and this would not be an issue. But a car did not and I am here still to tell you that the cross bar should not hit the road on a 30 to 35 mph corner which was on a 55 mph road. Please respond asap as for this IS my primary means of transportation. more if wanted
