Sorry about the blank post(Happy trigger finger on the enter button). I was just wondering how everybody who owns a new King Quad 450 likes them. Have they been a durable reliable machine? Any first year "bugs" showing up? I really like what the 450 has to offer and wanted some riders opinions. Thanks!

 

I don't own one but have the same question as you. Supposedly in June of this year Suzuki will be changing some things in their line so that makes me hesitant to buy an Eiger and a 450 Quad right now if they are going to change things soon. Anyone know what some of the changes will be?

 

replace the skids right away. i'm getting mine back after 3 months waiting for parts to show up. over 2k to get fixed. for going over a log.

 

i don't like mine at all,the efi is a joke,it's real hard to steer in 4-wheel drive not diff lock now mind you,bad gas milage,back fires every now and then etc...........................

 

Wow , Wayout , it sounds like you have some bad gasoline in your tank. I have the 700 and it get`s great gas mileage and most of my riding is 4000 to 7000 feet elevation .

 

Thanks for the opinion Wayout! I hope the dealership can remedy your problems. I thought the KQ450 was suppose to blow the eiger away in acceleration. At least that's what one of the magazines said. Anyone else think the 450 steers heavily?

 

no it does'nt steer heavily. i actually liked the grip it gives u with 4 wheel drive locked in.


on a side note my wifes ozark goes head to head with a 06 honda rancher... the honda is the same speed lol.

 

Is that the 06 Honda Rancher with the 329cc engine in it that is equal to the Ozark or is it the 397cc?

It would make sense that the Ozark would be about equal in speed to the 329cc Honda due to the weight difference.

 

no , the eiger i had first run a little better.............
