2005 SUZUKI
VINSON 4X4 AUTOMATIC & LIMITED EDITION 4X4 AUTOMATIC
 The
Vinson has proven to be a class-leader in the sport-utility
category and continues to lead the way in 2005.
The '05 Vinson 4X4 automatic is back with an aggressive
look, powerful engine, and all the features you've
come to expect from Suzuki QuadRunner ATVs. The
Vinson 4x4 automatic is available in red, yellow,
or green as well as Advantage® Max-4 HDTM camouflage
(LT-A500FC); perfect for hunters and outdoorsmen
looking for the ultimate sport-utility, off-road
machine. If you're looking for something truly special
there's the Limited Edition Vinson 4x4 automatic
(LT-A500FB), featuring limited edition black bodywork,
silver-colored high capacity racks and trick machine-polished
aluminum wheels.
The Vinson QuadRunner utilizes a durable 493cc
four-stroke, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, SOHC,
four-valve engine. It's equipped with a gear-driven
balancer shaft for reduced vibration and is designed
for high torque output and quick acceleration. Power
is transferred through a fully automatic QuadMatic
V-belt transmission with continuously variable gear
ratio, centrifugal automatic clutch and a two-speed
sub-transmission. This last includes a reverse gear
and an advanced engine braking system to reduce
downhill speeds. Choose from 2WD or 4WD with the
convenient handlebarmounted electric pushbutton
system. The Vinson also comes equipped with a torque-sensing
limited-slip front differential for smooth, efficient
power while in 4WD mode. In-gear starting allows
for quick and easy re-starts regardless of transmission
setting. A compact digital instrument display provides
all necessary rider information, including speedometer,
odometer, twintripmeters, clock, digital fuel gauge
and gear position. The strong and lightweight Vinson
frame utilizes large-diameter, thin-walled tubing
for maximum strength and minimal weight. The front
suspension is double A-arm style with five-position,
preload-adjustable shocks that provide 7.1 inches
of wheel travel and maximum ground clearance (9.8
in.).
A swingarm-type rear suspension uses a single
preload-adjustable shock for 7.9 inches of travel.
Lightweight, cast-aluminum wheels are mounted. Large
190mm disc brakes slow things at the front, while
a single 216mm disc handles braking at the rear.
A lightweight skid plate and bumper guards are also
mounted to provide maximum protection with minimal
resistance over rocks and other obstacles. High-capacity
racks are included on both front and rear of the
ATV for ancillary items.
Other features include bright, fender-mounted,
multi-reflector headlights, large taillight/brakelight
combo, and an additional 40-watt handlebar-mounted
headlight. A 325-watt charging system and a 12V/120W
electrical outlet are mounted to the front fender
with standard automotive style outlets for the use
of a wide range of electrical accessories.
The '05 Vinson QuadRunner, Suzuki's 500cc sport-utility
QuadRunner complete with aggressive styling, plus
all the features, performance and versatility that
set it ahead of the competition in every way.
