1999 suzuki quad won't stay running
What do you mean by 'running? Holding the run button down continuously means you are running it on the starter motor alone. Not a good idea. This will burn out the starter motor if you keep doing it. A simple rule here is if you are not sure what you are doing pay a good mechanic to do it.
Try going back to basics. An engine needs 3 things to run. Fuel, Air and Spark.
Check there is fuel in the tank. Yes, i've done that! Next check the throttle links. if it is a cable setup, with the ignition Off, twist the grip on and off and see if it moves on the throttle body/carburettor end.
Open the air box cover and check the filter is clean and dry. If in doubt replace it.
The next bit needs a bit more work. pull off the spark plug lead at the engine end. Turn on the ignition and crank the engine for no more than 2 seconds. Turn the bike OFF. Remove the spark plug and smell it. Your checking to see if it smells of fuel. You will probably need a proper Spark Plug socket to do it, they are usually cheap to buy.
Push the spark plug into the spark plug lead and rest it on the engine where you can see the sparking end. Again crank the engine for 2 seconds and watch the spark plug. you should get a regular clear blue spark. If you are in any doubt replace it.
When refitting the spark plug install it with your fingers until it tightens then tighten to about 25 Nm (18ft/lb). If you don't have a torque wrench turn it with a socket and wrench until you feel it just start to tighten then stop. DO NOT over tighten as the threads will strip out and that becomes an expensive fix.
Comment below with any more information and I'll see if I can help you more.

Does it do this when stopped and at idle, only when moving or both? This is possibly a wheel or brake issue.
Get all of the wheels inspected for damage and if they are rolling straight and true. Next get the brake calipers checked. If it has been stood for a long time the caliper pistons, brake discs and brake pads can become corroded and not operate smoothly.
If the vibration is when stationary and at idle it could be something as simple as it hasn't been serviced for a long time. Another reason could be an engine misfire or a worn engine mount.
