    Suzuki 4 Stroke review

    Hi all,

    chasing some info on Suzuki 4 strokes. has anyone had any experiences with them worth noting?? It is hard to get good info from dealers as they tend to tell you anything to get the sale.... The outboard Im chasing is a 90Hp...

    glad to hear any reviews - good or bad..

    cheers

    Hey Mate,

    Believe what you hear.

    I'm on my second 115hp, and have owned other Zuk's in between also, and they are truly great.

    5 year warranty says it all.

    The new lightweight 90 has a very very good reputation. I wouldn't hesitate getting one if it suits your boat..

    Currently have a DF115, very nice.

    Cheers

    Hi
    We have a new 90 on our boat and cannot fault it. Quiet, good fuel consumption-- what more would you ask for.

    Nah.... Their no good mate.

    Folk pull them out of the water, trailer them home, park em in the driveway all the while having forgotten to turn them off because their too quiet. It's bad for the environment having them running for a week at a time.

    Our first outing and got back to the ramp. Raised the motor to drift into shore. Hubby goes for quick pit stop and on his return asks why the prop is still rotating-- WHOOPS- forgot to turn it off -- ahhh the piece and quiet of a good motor. Thank goodness it was only a couple of minutes.

    Ispearem, I have a 140 Suzuki 140 fourstroke and it is a wonderful motor, quiet and economical, truly an exemplary piece of technology. It does have it's downsides, namely it's lacklustre holeshot and the absolutely ridiculous purchase price. These motors in the US are a fraction of what we pay in Australia. I guess that if I had the import rights I would charge as much as the market could bear. Cheers, Winston.

    My DF250 is running nicely with only 100Hrs so far and will soon be in the market for a DF80 or 90, The DF250 is an awesome engine, reletively quiet and economical for its output, gives nice low speed and cruising performance with loads of power on demand with no issues to report as you should expect
