I'm looking to get another ATV i have a 2004 kodiak 450. I thought I would go ahead and get another one to have so family can ride. I wanted to move up in size and i have thought about a king quad or a grizzly any thoughts on which one is better

 

The KingQuad more or less is an improved Grizzly in about every aspect you can think of and has EFI, for the same price. I think the choice is obvious, but that's just me.

 

I'm sure you'd be happy with either one. If you like the Kodiak you'll love the Grizzly but I guess I'm Biased.
By the way, what did the QS1 and the clutch kit do for your Kodiak?

 

I bought the KQ over the Grizzly this past summer and I'm very glad I did, it offers more than the Grizzly for around the same price. KQ is less tippy, smoothier powerband, EFI, which gives susprisingly good gas milelage..these are just some of the advantages it has over the Grizzly, for $100 or $200 more I say it well worth it.

If your getting a new quad so the family can ride it then let them ride the Kodiak, so you can ride the new one.

 

Ditto

 

the QS1 and clutch kit helped big time. It runs like a different bike. I love the tires and wheels but it took my power. but the pipe and clutch kit gave it back plus more.

 

you might want to wait for the 06 Grizz 700

 

Is the QS1 pretty close to stock as far a sound goes? I've been seriously considering that exhause but I don't want to increase the sound level, much.

 

The 2006 Grizzly is unchanged, still the same 660, so if you want the next Grizzly it'll most likely be a 2007 model, which won't be availible until late next year.

 

Get the KQ.
