its probably the most stable big 4x4 on the market Also the power is perfect never over powering its just smooth as silk it also side hills better than any other 4x4 I have ridden I have the brute force and my brother has the KQ all I can say is he has the better quad

 

thanks for the feedback 4fifty.

 

I agree with 4Fitty! I cannot tell you much about the brute force since I havent ridden one of them! The Honda was out for me (read about tranny problems) and with the lack of a front diff lock! That was not the bike for my! I did not want to shell out the extra cash for the Bomb. I have ridden a 660 Grizzly a lot and realy have nothing at all bad to say about it but realy nothing great to say about it either! It had pretty good power, rode ok, but when i rode the King that was it! SOLD!!! The King is very stable, not overpowering, very rider friendly! That is just my two cents! I don't know anythig anyway! That is why I am on here asking so many stupid questions!

Several of my 200# or less friends have the King on there wish list this Christmas! They had no problem with the KING QUAD! Thanks!

 

i am 6-4 and 229#. i love my king! this year, while at silver lake dunes in michigan, i let my friends girlfriend take it for a ride. she is about your size. i follwed her around for a while and she was a natural. handled it very well and loved it. you will be just fine. enjoy!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

i forgot to say that response was for megan[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

 

I knew your response was for me Kingluvr. I am still undeceided. I think I am leaning thowards the Outlander 800 XT but finding a dealer w/ one in my area is hard. The all seem to have the Max and I don't really need or want the extra 50 Lbs. If things don't work out w/ it though I think I will get a King Quad and switch the filter and tires asap.

 

take a look at the Bear claws,I do alot of snow plowing here in Minn,and they are great ,as for trails really sweet yet can still slide,thenthey bite when you want them too.running 26"no problem for my vinson.have fun ride carefull!

 

Megan, if your concerned about saftey for your size..I wouldn't recommend an 800 outtlander they are very big and VERY powerful ecpecially coming from a 360cc machine, these big bores can get away from you ecspecially with that much power and when they do you have a maybe 50/50 chance of getting out without serious injures sense they weigh so much...I forget how much they weigh because they are so fast and sporty. This is what makes them so dangerous. The KQ would be a better choice for someone your size but it's still very big, but it's very low center of gravity makes it's 4 tires stay firmly planted to the ground I've never flipped mine...but I'm 6' "3 180lbs I feel like it was designed for someone 6ft+ in mind. If you do get the Outty 800 though, just be very catious with their power, they can flip over backwards on level ground. Wouldn't recommend it though, I wouldn't even buy it cuz I'd probably kill myself doing wheelies.

 

I really like the KQ, so much so that I purchased a second for my significan other to ride. Had a meld down on the engine after 1800 miles due to dirt getting through the filter. Suzuki authorized the dealer to replace the stock filters in each machine to Uni's Excellent foam filters. The throdle plate is now clean enough to eat off of it.

Question. On the handle bars there are threaded (10 or 13cm) holes built in to part of the handlebar controls on each side, which I assumed was for the windshield mounts. WRONG! The mount has its own mount to the bar (room is real tight). Does anyone know what the purpose is of the two threaded holes????

 

They are for mirrors.
