their is a lot of recalls on the bike like the exaust cam ( which causes the starter to burn out or make it hard to start untill it burns out.

I FOUND THIS ON EBAY ON A BIKE FOR SALL HE ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE FRAME PROBLEM TO. :angry:

I've heard of the frame recall but i didn't know anything about the exhaust cam messing up the staring system. Must be the White ones cause i've neither problem.

My quad is not hard to start, I never heard of that one. :huh:

 

[YFZ450 Blaster Racer]

Well i forgot to mention the only time my quad doesn't start right away is when i stall it or when my fan turns on when it was riden for awhile.

 

[Porter Hill Performance]

same here mine will only start hard when i stall it or sum moron pumps the throttle when they start it. i dont see how the exhaust cam has anything to do with the starter goin out. i kno the starters are weak.

 

[Rad Rob]

Porter- Like LTRRider said if there is something going on with the exhaust cam making them hard to start, and you say the starters are weak well then, yeah, the cam makes it hard to start thus burning up more starters. :huh:

I shot the dude an email because I hate it when someone puts out BULL. There has only been 1 recall so far. That's not to say there won't be more but when he says there has been lots of recalls he has no idea what he is talking about.

its not a recall yet but my ltr is currently getting a brand new starter (second replacement), starter clutch and exhaust cam...all under warrenty


what the mechanic at my dealer said was the brush plate broke on the starter so when that was replaced i rode for about 10 minutes, then it started running really rough so i took it right back...the mechanic tried to start it and broke the brush plate again so he called suzuki while i was there and they told him this...

when you start the engine the exhaust cam is soposed to open the exhaust valve every time around..that wasnt happening after he put a new brush plate in. this caused too much compression and instead of the starter turning the gear (not sure what gear) the starter tried to climb the gear and it puts too much pressure on the brush plate

im not exactly sure how all of that works thats just what i was told

so they guy at suzuki told him to warrenty a whole new starter, starter clutch and exhaust cam

 

[RCwhat]

its not a recall. its a tsb (technical service bulletin) which is sort of a recall without officially recalling all the affected bike. Basically suzuki determines that its not safety related so therefore is only fixed when the affected bikes are brought in for service with the related symptoms. the tsb for the exhuast cam auto decompression lever is real and has been posted over the internet on plenty of forums and i swear i've seen it hear somewhere, maybe it was ltr450central.

 

[billjab]

youve probably seen it on here cuz i think i saw it too

 

[Porter Hill Performance]

ok thanks for clearin that up for me guys. now that i think about it what billjab says makes total sence. i didnt know that the exhaust cam was supoosed to open the valves every time around acting as a decompression. good thing for people smarter than me! lol

 

[thegoat]

i had a problem with my starter, it burned out the day after i bought which was the first day i actually rode it, but its fixxed now and seems to drag a little but not as bad

 

[quadracer16]

sounds realistic becuase mine is harder than shit to start until it gets warm even when its like 100 degrees out its still a bitch to start

 

[ltrrider]

O boy

[AL Elks]

Here's the reply I got back from the guy:

"every quad i sell ends up comming back with the problem and i have moved over 30 of the ltr but makes since but its too late to even bother im just going to sell it in news on wheels this was a waste of time"

Hmmmmmmmm!

 

[YFZ450 Blaster Racer]

Well then there must have been a bad shipment, because Everybody i know with a LTR hasn't had a problem yet. I've had my LTR since March, so if there was a problem i would've gotten it by now.

 

[ltr450RR]

my starter fried months ago but havent fixed it yet..hopefully they wont give me shit when i take it in..

 

[AL Elks]

I too have had zero problems with mine and it was one of the first batches of LTRs.

 

[SandJunkie]

Yea I remeber hearing something about a decompression lobe problem..but as far as mine is running?..just fine...I'm not even sure I'm "gana" take it in for the frame welding...
