rossman Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I have the opportunity to buy a 2003 suzuki eiger 400 for a great price. I would use it primarily for deer hunting, building stands and things like that. Would this size and model be good for this purpose. I do not know much about suzuki's so I need some help!!!! Thanks--Rossman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldawg Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Re: Suzuki Eiger 400 for deer hunting? I Checked into them when I was shopping around for machines. Unfortunately, they didn't have the model I was looking for. Nice machines though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deadeye270 Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Re: Suzuki Eiger 400 for deer hunting? Good machine. almost all of the atv companys have been forced the step up their quality and durabilty to compete with honda. Check to make sure the quad had not been abused or swamped. A good check is to pull the manual start rope and see if it is caked in mud. The brakes are another way to check to see if the machine has been abused. When you take it for a test ride, don't be easy on it. an abused machine will act normal until it is pushed a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the brakes and thay work but it seems as if you need to sqeeze hard. Is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherguy Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Re: Suzuki Eiger 400 for deer hunting? We have a few Suzuki's, no eigers, but they are all very durable, versatile and tough. I would recommned a suzuki to anyone. As for the brake thing ours are pretty stiff, but if you don't like it i am sure you could have it loosened some.

Huntr104 Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Re: Suzuki Eiger 400 for deer hunting? That's a good machine. I have a Suzuki King Quad 300 and an Arctic Cat 300 both 4x4's. If power is what your question is about. The 300's are more than powerful enough to use to get you through the woods, dragging deer out or hauling them out on the rear rack.

wtnhunt Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Re: Suzuki Eiger 400 for deer hunting? Prefer hondas myself. My parents used to have a couple suzukis years ago and they were pretty decent bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Re: Suzuki Eiger 400 for deer hunting? Buy it. I like Honda also, but the Suzuki will suit you well I am sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Re: Suzuki Eiger 400 for deer hunting? Back when I rode motorcyles alot, I loves Suzukis I wouldn't hesitant to buy another one. too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christsavedme Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Re: Suzuki Eiger 400 for deer hunting? Man if the price is right and the machine has been taken care of then I would say buy it...Over the last several years the ATV industry has been swamped with a step up in the production of quality products so they are all decent. I personally love Honda's, but due to a situation kind of like the one you are talking about I now have a Polaris Sportsman.....and for the money I paid....I love it. I do have a buddy that has the model you are talking about and he loves his. It seems to have plenty of power and Suzuki is a decent bike....After all they started the whole four wheeler revalution!

Guest Bama Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Re: Suzuki Eiger 400 for deer hunting? I just bought my Eiger 400 2 days ago. The reviews were very good and love it so far. Should do very well for hunting. I am counting on it. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNY_Whitetailer Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Re: Suzuki Eiger 400 for deer hunting? Rossman...Did you buy that Eiger? Is it a 4x4? In the future I want to purchase a 4x4 ATV because where I hunt I would need one...BTW, that 400 would be more than powerful enough for what you want to do...
