Suzuki Wheel Bearing Kit
Long before Suzuki Motor Corporation became an industry giant in the field of motor vehicles, the company that would later be known for their innovative and high-performance ATVs, powersports machines, and motorcycles began life in 1909 in the tiny seacoast village of Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan as a loom machine manufacturer. After World War II, the Japanese turned their attention towards cheap, reliable transportation and, just as Honda capitalized on the situation, Suzuki began crafting their own line of simplistic, easy-to-own/easy-to-maintain motorcycles. These were basic bicycles that used a “clip on” style 36cc gas engine for motivation. This became the Power Free motorcycle, Suzuki’s original motorcycle. By 1954, Suzuki’s motorcycle business allowed them to further expand their automobile lineup and, in turn, evolve their motorcycle designs. Without the Power Free, iconic models such as the V-Strom, GS450T, GS550, and the flagship Boulevard cruiser would not have been possible. In 1983, Suzuki revolutionized the all-terrain vehicle market with the LT125. Previous to its arrival, the standard for ATVs was to use 3 wheels; it was Suzuki’s 4-wheel LT125 that transformed the industry and went on to influence the design of all other ATVs that followed. Suzuki’s rich motorcycle racing history gave them the inspiration and know-how to develop groundbreaking ATV models and advancements in ATV technology. In 1984, they introduced the Quadrunner 50, the industry’s first-ever youth-oriented ATV. Suzuki understood that many motocross racers and off-road enthusiasts get their start at an early age and that was the reasoning behind their development of a kids ATV model. The 1980s was an exceptionally innovative time for Suzuki. They’d developed the original QuadSport LT230, an off-road performance model designed to tackle surfaces ranging from forests to open deserts. The LT4WD was introduced in 1987, giving riders expanded mobility though four-wheel drive and the first of Suzuki’s long lineage of sport utility ATVs. Alongside the LT4WD was the high-performance LT500R, blending ATV maneuverability with muscle car-like top-end speed. Today, Suzuki continues to blur the line between street legal and factory racer with tough, durable, and reliable ATV models such as the KingQuad, KingQuad 700, and the race-ready LT-R450 EFI.
