Sounds like we as KQ owners are pretty much singing from the same book. Yes, those plastic fasteners are a pain in the ***. Have you ever seen anything that disappear like magic as those things. I finally discovered you can by bags of them at the auto parts store for a couple of bucks, vs the .85 cents a piece from the local Suzuki dealer. So I don't sweat it much now. Actually considering the mileage (5,000 each) on my two KQ's I just don't have any complaints. While the original tires are no traction masters, they do wear like iron compared to others. A friend has Rincon with 1700 miles and the original radials and they are bald. He just installed a set of 25" XTR's on cast wheels - very impressive.

For those above who gave me the heads up on Nyroc for service instructions - thanks.

 

No problem, it's a very informative and addictive site. Check out the last three pages of "king quad replacement ecu". "Frank"
