Default kingquad 750

I just wanted to thank all who helped me in my quest for my dream machine, as the headline states i went with the kingquad 750. I had my mind set on the 500 but for $400 more, i went with the larger bike.
went for a few small rides on it and i really like it, can't wait to break her in and really get on it.
only thing i noticed is that the fuel injection isn't as good as i thought. it usually never starts right up on the first few cranks like i thought. it acts like its carbed sometimes. i been turned the key on and off twice to prime it two times and its been better.

I was thinking of a 500 KQ for my next ATV or a 550 Grizzly , you just do not seem to hear much sorry stories about them.

I would also buy the big bore if the price is only $400 difference but thats not the case up here.
I don,t need a big bore on our slow trail but like they say,

"You can make a fast horse go slow but you can't make a slow horse go fast".

i know, it seems like you only hear about the 350 small class or the big bores. i totally had my mind set on the 500 and my buddy who i brought with to help me load it talked me into getting the 750. Sooo glad i did, the 500 did seem a little slow when i took it for a test ride.
how much are the 750's by you? maybe they will make a deal with you since its the middle of winter.

I live in Northern Ontario ,Canada. Our Prices are much higher even though our dollar is is egual to the U.S dollar. A 750KQ up here is $8000 +15% tax. a 500KQ is $1200+15% less.

This is the plain AXI with no power steering or camo.

congratulations. My friend has the 750 and man what a smooth single cylinder they are. Excellent power through out. I personally love the 750,just a feel good bike. I just wish the racks were bigger. If its a power steering unit,then on the left side down low by your feet(maybe a little under the foot peg) is a small plug that has wires going to it. My friend had a stick hit that plug and broke it off which took his instrument pod out and his power steering. He made a steel guard for it so it wont happen again. just a suggestion. it wasnt bad turning without the EPS but he noticed it stopped working,then thats when we looked to see what happened. be safe!

cool, thanks for the heads up! mine isn't power steering but i paid 7400 otd for it so i think i got a pretty good deal. its an 2011, the white color. It is a very smooth engine, a little rough starting somtimes but overall a sweet engine.
