I bought a sportsman 700 and I work around with it. I am thinking about to buy a KQ 700. I love to go in trail riding and in mud. I am wondering if it has a nice ride and a good EFI system. Please tell me the goods and bads.

THANKS

 

The King's EFI system has been really good to me so far, it's nice not having to use choke anymore, ecspecially in the wintertime, fires right up and off you go. The King has a great ride, maybe not quite as plush as the Polaris sportsman but still very comfortable, and it handles better than the Sportsman b/c it's 150lbs lighter and lower center of gravity.
The King is great for trail riding, that's mainly what I do and it serves me fine, and it's a lot of fun in the mud, just needs better tires if your a really serious mudder, the stockers are only 23.75 inches tall and their treads aren't that agressive, but I still have them after 1350 miles and their holding up well.In fact the entire ATV is holding up well after 1350 miles nothing has broken and it runs very well.
The only thing you MUST do is replace the stock air filter with a foam oiled Unifilter or Twin Air, the stock one lets dirt into the motor and it can cause damage. Aside from this I've had no other problems. Excellent all around ATV. There's also an aftermarket ECU from VDI coming out for it later this year that's supposed to really make the King a powerhouse, it'll eliminate Suzuki's neutering of the motor, and give it full power by advancing the timing and adjusting fuel.

 

Thanks the reason I am asking if the EFI is good is because a couple of weeks ago I went to go look at it and when I turned the key on I did not hear the EFI pumps go off Is that normal?
