No EFI though with the BF650i, so he'd even out price wise with all the gas he'll burn with that thirsty V-twin with dual carbs.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Very true they do burn gas, kk

 

Minky.........Dont even look at the big five Kawa, Zuki, Honda, Polaris, Yamaha for an answer........what you MUST look at is the Outlander 800......there is NOTHING on the market today from any manufacturere that can touch it. Trust me...Ive been here ....done that.

 

from what i see toyeboy has it down 100% but the kq if you do decide to go with that choice remember to change the stock airfilter to aftermarket becuase if you don't it will cause it to shoot blue smoke out down the road becuase the stock doesn't seal out dirt particles good enough. Now as what pastor and quadracer325 have said the 800 is no doubt about it the best ute atv it has everything that someone looks for in a ute and the design and engineering that went into this quad no one and I repeat no one is even close to what they have done. The engine on this puppy is made by one of the best engine companies that I have dealt with not saying the others aren't good but my ds 650 is awesome and love it(Rotax Engines). Yes the Bomb/Can-Am quads might be more expensive but you get what you pay for its like a Cadillac(Bomb) vs a Chevy(others). I just went today to order me a new Renegade 800 which is a more sport version of the Outlander 800 and won't be in until Nov Dec but it is well worth the wait. But if you decide to go with one of the quads that you have listed I would choose the KQ out of all of them since I haven't heard of any problems with it and seems like everyone enjoys it and it also has efi. I have heard the BF guys say that the handling was so bad that they had to upgrade to aftermarket suspension and the Engine is pretty much the only good thing on it like toyeboy said.

 

what aftermarket parts do you have to buy for the kq to keep up with the brute

 

The problem has always been down low with the KQ, the rest of the powerband is very simular to the Kawi's, The KQ's infamous "low end lag" is only fixable with a timing advancement, other modules such as the Power Comander only adjust fuel which does little to no performance gain on the KQ. the Kawi's low end is so strong that it make the KQ look like it's not as powerful as it really is when they jump out in front of it...but not for long...

Suzuki has severely detuned the KQ by reducing the timing of the motor under 2000 RPM's by 5 degrees from 12 to 7...This information is coming straight from Velocity Devices Inc. the one's that make the best CDI on the market for the Kawi's V-twins, they are in the testing stages for an ECU for the KQ that will advance timing as well as adjust fuel, they are saying that it's going to be a real tire burner when they're done with it, . They now claim that their test unit has no lag anymore, so they've got that part done, now it's on to the EFI part of it. This is THEE most antiscipated mod for the King Quad, and it will open up the KQ like never seen before. The ECU is slated for a September release, at a price of $400, just like the V-twins.
