Whilst removing my shocks I noticed that the mounts looked really stressed, spoke to Yamaha today and they have said they will cover all costs and repairs if needed, Good thing is that the warranty runs out in November and any repairs have a lifetime warranty I have been told, They are looking at it in the morning....

turns out an easy fix,
If the suzuki's are that good then why did 3 of them break down at the last enduro and us guy s on Yammi's all finished in the top 10 ?
Quick answer to that is rider problems, any quad pushed passed the limit will eventually stop...

Have to agree with you there, real fast in the straights but it is hard to make mine corner unles the back wheels are constantly breaking traction, and as for jumping, they can get there but I have had some real heavy landings, and that's why i am updating shocks, sick of them bottoming out on even small jumps over ditches, but i still wouldn't swap it for a 4fiddy coz it suits my needs as an al rounder..
