Cannot personally vouch far this particular model, but 2 of the guys I hunt with have 4x4Suzuki ATV's haveused them during the last several hunting seasons. Only problem I have heard is one guys tendency to "flood" his machine on initial cranking.In my opinion, that is a technique problem.The guy has a tendency to full-choke the machine, then "floor" the throttle before hitting the starter.Doing that I thinkfloods the cylinder with fuel, probably causing this "malfunction".
