Do I have a case against Suzuki???

[blupits04]

true, but look at it this way if prices go up maybe you'll have a quad worth riding that you know will be right b/c someone told them about the problem. lol but then again I don't have a suzuki so wouldn't bother me if their prices went up anyway!

I cant bieleive it! I keep checking back and its still going.

[SoFlaEiger]

lol at the last two posts...ya, its still going.  apparently there's people here that keep their eyes glued to the throttle when backing up instead of whats behind them.  and 6-8ft isnt enough distance to back up safely when the throttle is functioning properly (as it more than certainly should be on a bike thats just over a month old).

throw me some popcorn!!

This is NOT KawGirl, this is Shortcut, and I have a question. Does anyone check there equipment out for safety anymore, familiarizing yourself with the freedom of movement of levers and cables, positioning of handle bars, oil and coolant level ?

So many unfortunate mishaps could be avoided with the observance of this practice, especially with new vehicles. Anyone that's been to a dealership has seen the young people they have in the back putting your new toy together. You can't count on them to take the time to do it right, even though you paid "dealer prep". We personally know three people that have eigers that don't have this problem.

If the handlebars had been in the proper position this most likely wouldn't have happened, had you taken the time to check the quad over prior to riding it in the very beginning, this incident would have never happened.

Good luck in whatever you choose to do, I would look to the dealer as a source of compensation.

Hey Mike, check them lug nuts lately

I do usually check stuff out.  I check oil levels, tire pressure, look over the suspension briefly and the brakes, but not the clearance of the throttle. I mean, thats like a given that it should be clear.  Who checks the gas pedal on a car? or a new tractor? or a motorcycle?  not many.

I will most likely go after the dealer.

the three eigers you speak of...manauls or automatics?

[kawGIRL]

You keep comparing the thumb throttle to the gas pedal on a car. When a car or truck comes from the factory it is fully assembled, when they ship a quad or motorcycle the dealer has to install the handle bars among other things. So to assume that a minimum wage kid in the shop is installing them properly is not the smartest move. This is not a design flaw, go after the dealer or GET OVER IT.

That dealer would be buying me a new bike and fixing my truck.

This sounds like a job for the A-Team.

[SoFlaEiger]

I am a dealer

that explains EVERYTHING.

I have a new 05 Eiger. The throttle doesn't come close to the shift lever when I turn the bars all the way to the right. The dealer who set up your quad screwed up. You really need to speak to him.

So far, almost every eiger owner on this thread has said that their throttle does not come close to the shifter. As I told you before, it is a dealer setup issue. You then went postal & so did your ally armpit. So since I was bashed by you so hard, it all comes full circle & the info I gave you in the first post was TRUE!! The main problem here is you say it is one month old, if this is true, then it is clearly YOUR fault! You said you check out your equipment before using it. Well I guess you missed that one. Also when the shifter hit the throttle & pushed it wide open, did it smash your thumb, maybe you could get some pain & suffering reimbursement also. ::)You keep saying 6-8 ft is plenty of room for moving the quad around next to your truck. Considering the eiger is at least 6ft long, that leaves at most 2' for error. I am still waiting to hear the honest answer from the dealer or suzuki. You started this rediculous post on March 29,  it is now April 13, when are you gonna take action with the dealer or Suzuki and inform us on the outcome??? The way I see it, you are a forum troll trying to stir up drama & arguments. I beleive you are too embarrased to go to the dealer & tell your story, I know I would be. I would write the check & fix my truck if I ran into it but that is just me, I have a knack for taking responsibility for my actions, unlike you trying to force someone to pay for your misjudgement. BTW, SoFlEiger could you start using spell check.

[TRX350_On_The_Rack]

I thought this post was dead. I guess you just revived it KFXHead.

[KFXhead]

After all the bickering I just want to see if they pay for his mistake. Actually someone else posted to it to bring it back to the top. If you notice I removed all my previous posts last week as to stop the arguing, but some people on here continued to throw insults so I am back.

The process has already begun as of last Thursday.  I filled out some form and they looked over the bike and are taking responsibility.  There has been two owners who said they haven't had a problem and two who said they have.  Manuals don't have this problem because there is no shifter.

Forum troll eh?  You're a moron.  Yes, a moron.  And come on down from Dover and I'll say it to your face (since you said earlier I would never say half of this to someone's face).  Better yet, look for me at MS&G.  I'll be in a Blue F-250 with an enclosed trailer and a ton of pallets.  Ask for Brian and I'll tell you what I think about your thick-headed arguments.

Oh and by the way, its 6-8ft BEHIND the bike, not INCLUDING the bike  

So, see you at MS&G or sometime in the future and I'll give you my piece of mind.  Other than that, welcome to my ignore list.  I don't have time for idiotic boneheads such as yourself.

On arctic Cats the bars are all ready to go when you un crate it , dont know about zukes. He showed me the way it hits and it definately hits , but only if you give it a small amount of throttle .

[TRX350_On_The_Rack]

That's cool KFXhead. I have to say some of your replies made me LMFAO

Hey JD, the Asst Manager at the dealership said that it was probably their adjustment that did it.  I filled out the papers and he said I should go get an estimate for the damage.  He made me back my truck up to the bike as if it had just happened to take pictures to make sure it was the bike.  Next I guess the papers go to the manager or insurance company? I don't know.

I also showed TRX350, asphalt dragon, yamaha660bsr, muddygirl and her man, and a few others and they all have basically said its crazy how dangerous this problem could be!

SoFlIgnorant, I am a man, not a snot nose 21yr old punk loudmouth like yourself. I would love to meet you especially since I have your feeble threats in black & white. I dont even know what Ms&g is or where it is. You insult people who dont agree with your frivolous cause & expect us to like it. You are truly ignorant & you hit your truck, I cant beleive the dealer caved in, show proof in writing by scanning it to a pic. I guess the old cliche holds true about "the squeaky wheel gets greased". Are you upset because I disagree with you or the fact that I pointed out your stupidity & lack of patience. You sound like a chickensh*t little boy to me by making threats on a public forum. I never threatened you or anybody else for that matter. One day we will meet & you can take your best shot, then I WILL have a case & a POS eiger, dented truck & whatever else you own dumb*ss. If you cant take criticism, dont open your d*cksucker on a forum. You asked for our opinions & you couldnt handle it. As I said before just go ride!!!

Does anyone else see threats in my message? Simply telling you that i'd call you a moron to your face.  Now, dicksucker definetly falls under sexual harassment if you want to get technical.  And you deleted all your posts otherwise I would be able to quote your INSULTS.  You also told me that I wouldn't have the balls to tell you to your face what I think and that I can only do it through a computer.  Well, I'd be more than happy to tell you to your face.  Thats all.  And for a grown, mature man, you sure through around insults and foul language like a child.

[TRX350_On_The_Rack]

I've seen the bike. It's definitley not working right when turning. Dealer needs to fix. If it was a Honda we wouldn't even be having this post   jk.
