    I guess it really can't squat. The hitch is on the axle, right?
    as apposed to the IRS where the hitch is on the frame?
    that should work good for towing.

    Exactly. The most that can squat on a SRA is the tires. This helps keep the front wheels with better "more normal" weight, so they actually steer.

    This quad will have a trailor hitched to it at all times. Solid axle for sure.

    Sweet, looks like patients and persistence has paid off for you. My son wants me to get one that has a seat in it so I can get about this property. So far, everything is too costly.

    From what ive read and chatted with others about this bike its a pretty solid engine. I really like the mechanical 2/4 wd and the hi/lo engagement. I paid less than what my budget was so im pretty pleased.

    Good choice! I have an '02 Eiger with almost 7000 miles on it and it's still running strong. Bought it used too about 8 years ago. Solid work bike.:yes:

    Has anyone mentioned about running E-free fuel in small engines on this site :D

    Congrats, I looked at an Eiger when we bought our sportsman 500ho. It seemed like a nice quad.

    I forgot about those bikes. Nice find! Suzukis I've had in the past were very reliable.

    Lol, these motors don't care about e10, and are even made to use it.

    E10 away folks, it's OK.

    thats pretty hard to do in our area.
    The only thing here is AVGas. E-free is at least an hour away

    Just going on personal experience. Just turn the key and push the start button on my 14 year old ATV with 7000 miles and it starts right up and purrs. I watch guys with much newer bikes that don't run E-free (or stabilized E10 gas) crank and crank to get their bikes fired up after sitting for awhile, sometimes just over night. :zip:

    However, saying that, maybe it's just the bike and this is just a another endorsement for the virtues of a Suzuki Eiger which may reassure Redfin and his recent purchase ;)
