One of the reason I will soon be purchasing a 2005 King Quad is because how much less it weighs than the Polaris models. After seeing the quads and realizing ther stock tires are worthless for mud and that the skid plates are plastic and need upgrading I wonder what the Quad will weigh when its ready to ride.
Has anyone weighed there KQ with fuel and fluids?

 

With full fluids it will be around 645lbs. You will get the biggest gain in weight when you buy new tires. Stock tires stink.

 

Has anyone ever weighed one? What the factory claims and what they usually weigh are two different issues in my experience. Thanks!
