Suzuki quads are always good.

As long as it is in decent shape I would have no worries.
The neighbors are still running lt 250's and lt 230's from the mid eighties.

Had a 07 and a 09 750 king quad had 7000 km on each no trouble . Great quads . The only thing I don't like about them is the belt exit pipe is behind the seat so if your back end falls in a beaver run it takes in water

The Suzuki 700 Twin Peaks is pretty much a Kawasaki Prairie 700 with yellow plastic and Suzuki decals.

Good information guys, really appreciate it !!
Going to look at it tomorrow..really wanted a Yammy Grizzly, but winter
is approaching & I'm getting desperate for a plow set up and
I am done forever with the awful concept of snowblowers!
(who comes up with reverse gears for blowers, that is so stupid slow!)

My Suzuki 2004 has only 11,000km on it now nicely broken in, use it to skid 2000lb logs for cabin building on trapline. Just had to do breaks once so far.

Certainly not my first choice.

But then again it sure beats walking.

Went & looked at the 700 Suzook & had to walk away.
For only having 3000kms on it, it sure looked a lot
Better in the picture. Wish folks would refrain from saying "Excellent Condition" and then find cracks & plastic welded & other red neck fixes on parts lost yet still won't budge at $4000+..also found the seat a bit to firm.
Sticking with a Yam 660cc+ Grizzly now.

Default Cable engaged Diff Lock???

Early Brute Force Kawis had a lever that pulled a cable that engaged the front Diff Lock. Had to hold it down to keep it in.

Yamaha and the rest used an electric servo sealed in the front diff. No leaks, no holding down anything, no cable to break ....
