I am fairly new to quads, but am mechanically inclined enough to work my way through engine issues. Transmissions/clutches, however, are a little beyond my understanding, and that's where I could use a little help today. I've got a 1998 Suzuki LTF500F I got for cheap last year, and with a little bit of tinkering got it running and riding. When riding it rolls through the gears just as smooth as you could ask for, but at idle and when the engine is off it's really difficult to shift, and sometimes it just won't shift at all. Looking through the manual I've found the clutch adjustment screws, but haven't really found any info to suggest how to adjust those screws to properly account for the issue I'm having. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      2005 Suzuki King Quad Battery Question
      By LMI
      Hi all.  New to the forum & quads.  Seems like a great place full of info.
      I just recently picked up a 2005 Suzuki KingQuad LTA700.  I need a battery.  I've been reading up on conventional vs AGM types.  I have a Royal Distributing and Canadian Tire.  RD has 2 types avail for my year/Model a battery YTX16-BS CRANK $75, and BATTERY YTX20CH-BS YUASA $140.  Neither of these is the type from the manual FTZ16-BS.
      from what I can tell... I think the only difference is the capacity with the $75 unit rated at 14 AH/10HR and the $140 unit rated at 18 AH/10HR ... which is the rating in the manual for the FTZ16-BS.  How much does this make a difference for nearly x2 the cost?
      And about the models/type numbers.... what is important to know ... they all end in "-BS" but are the other details relevant or just manufacturer naming?

      Anyone have a Suzuki LT185 owner manual?
      By rjsummer
      I just bought a 1984 Suzuki LT185 ATV and am looking for the OWNER’S manual. ( not a service manual) 
      I contacted Suzuki Canada but they have no paper or digital copies in their archives. 
      Does anyone possibly have a digital copy they’d be willing to share?

      I am looking for a PDF version of a manual for a Suzuki Quadrunner 250.  I am not sure of the year, but believe it is a late 1990s model.
