I have always liked the KQ 300 tranny with high,low and super low range and it's 4 wheel locker system.Does Suzuki offer this on any of it's 500s and if no why not?

No, the 500's do not have the versatility of the KQ, but they do have the low/high range.

I think that the KQ and its features have been designated as strictly "utility", and nothing more.

I have heard stories of amazing feats of strength, that that Quad has accomplished with the superlow gearing.

Therefore, when they built the 500's, I think that the goal was to introduce their first Sport/Utility Quad.

As far as my experiences have gone with the Quadrunner, I put it in 1st gear, low range, and pulled free, a full size Ford ext. cab long box, that was stuck on a muddy road.

I couldn't believe it, the winch wouldn't budge it, so I hooked the tow rope to the back hitch, and yanked it right out.

One KQ feature, that I think they should incorporate into the Quadrunner/Quadmaster, is the is the ability to lock the front end on demand.
