good choice i have the same engine in my ac 700, i wouldnt worry about the electronics, i have all the same electronics and have had mine over the racks in water with no problems. i think u bought a great atv. i am also a honda fan but with drum brakes and no locking front diff they just were not an option for me

Congrats on the zook Beergut...

I have had my Vinson completely submerged in water and mud before...never had a problem with the fan, the dash or the 4x4 switching on and off.

Enjoy that EFI....wish I had it on my new (used) AC650

I'll post some pics in the am-

This machine is truly awesome! gobs or power, and it's so comfortable- All I really have to compare it to- is previous 400's or smaller ATV's with mono shocks and live axles- I had no idea what I was missing, by not riding the full size, large cc motors!- Can't wait to hit the trails tomorrow

It's been pouring all day today with tropical storm Danny- nice and muddy tomorrow!

some pics.... also came with a 60" tilting moose plow and new tire chains. It has 1325 miles / 277 hours- Not bad for $3k, huh? Now- If only I had someone to ride with!

I guess we got a little off topic in AC forum

maybe one of the mods would be so kind as to move this thread to the Suzuki forum....

I think your being a little hard on the CATS.It is certain that all atvs have there qiurks and it depends what you are doing with your atv. I have owned nothing but CATS and love them. I have ridden almost every brand and most all are somewhat appealing.

My 2001 450 foreman was and still is super reliable,I sold it to a good fiend and I still ride it on occasion, would I trade back for my less reliable 2001 500H.O?

NOT a chance, there more to ATVing then reliability, power,traction,good brakes,ground clearance and ride comfort trumps littler maintenance to me.

Enjoy you new KQ,with a more powerful SOHC motor,irs,diff lock,liguid cooling, and rear disk. None you would get at all or at once on any Honda utility ATV.
