I got the chance to take a few hot laps on an LT-R and it some what dissapointed me. The suspension on this thing is the stiffest I've ever been on and I felt that it had a bit of push in the front end. (this was on a soft sandy mx track) It also didn't pull as hard out of corners as my TRX but my TRX also has a cam and pipe on it. It has potential but I think that it will need the typicall suspension mods and some motor work to get it on par with a full race built YFZ or TRX that suzuki was claiming it would do stock. It does however start and run on it's own which is more than I can vouch for with my honda

what was done to the ltr.i would say i have to disagree with you.i ran mine for the first time agains 450r's yf's and 2 450honda hybrids.all the quads had full pipes and cam mods and far from stock.(mine was the wuietest one there)my quad had the sparky out lid off and cherry bomb.i actually felt i was gonna be underpowered.there was a decent size double right out of a corner that was a true power jump and the only ones that could clear it cleanly were me and the two hybrids.same for the tripple they had.land the table and put it to the wood.everyone else was bouncing off the top at best.with the yoshi pipe on the quad it is 10 times better i cant wait to be able to safely run that

This was 100% stock, I'm sure it will get much better with mods that's why I said it has potential but I felt let down a bit with it's performance after hearing all the hype but that is my personal opinion so you can take that for what it is. I just think I would be better off to pick up an 05 TRX for 5 grand and put suspension all the way around it and still come out money ahead in the deal.

I've heard a lot of people say that the stock settings on the LTR are to firm. All of them that said that, also said with some adjusting they were able to get it to feel really good. Maybe that would have worked for you as well.

In stock form the motor is held back by the baffle and air box lid, but when you spend $40.00 on the cherry bomb remove the air box lid and baffle the bike wakes up big time. I rode mine at the track totaly stock last weekend and thought the same thing, this weekend I rode it with the cherry bomb and what a difference, the bike pulled very hard and was just as fast if not faster than my friends 450r with pipe, filter, and cam.
As for the suspension with a little tuning it can be soften up quite a bit. It does come very stiff from factory.

i agree withthe sparky and that in it is pretty much a dog but what quad wouldnt be thad like thatat restricted.it is quieter than a utility quad like that.lol

Hey JAson hows it going man? I havent talked to you in ages. I heard you got a new zuki, hows she treatin ya compared to the cannondale? Get in touch me, you, brian, and michelle are definately gonna have to hook up this year and ride. I miss the good ol' days

Well i finally got mine and let me tell you guys who have only ridin it in completly stuffed up in stock form...its an entirely different quad without the pea shooter, the lid removed, and that cherry bomb in there. Night and day. No stock trx is keeping up with the lt-r when doing those simple 10 minute mods.

Yes in stock form it is so quiet it sounds like a utility quad. It has zero top end because its breathing through a straw at both ends. Just no comparison.

Wait till the cams come off the assembly lines and some 14:1 pistons and a selection of exhausts. Im not jumping on the Yosh pipe yet. I want to see who makes what and have a better selection. I know this, its not going to be trinity!

I have a very good feeling we will have our way with most stock bore machines.....

It looks like it would be cramped for tall guys like me (6'2) I'm very cramped on a yfz so I can only imagine how it is on that

I'd love to get one or ride one someday though!

There is actually suppose to be more room compared to the YFZ, and the bars are suppose to be taller. I need to go to the Suzuki dealer and sit on one, if I can find one.
