After my 2016 700 Grizzly started consuming oil and blowing blue smoke for the 3rd time in 2600 miles, I decided it was time to move on. Yamaha has "fixed" my Grizzly twice out off warranty already, but apparently hasn't really figured out the problem. The dealer I purchased the Yamaha from also sells Honda and Suzuki, we worked out a deal were I traded the Gizz in on a 2020 750 KingQuads SE+.
I took the new KingQuad out yesterday to the St Croix State Forest for a short ride, 26 miles. A combination of rocks, sand and some mud. I was taking it easy, not supposed to use more than half throttle for the first 10 hours. I'm very pleased so far. The engine is much quieter and smoother than my Grizzly or Kodiak. I think the ride and handling is at least comparable to the Grizzly.
Two more things I really like; No excessive engine heat on my legs, the Grizzly would cook me on warm days. No deceleration popping and backfiring, the 708 Yamaha runs so lean it frequently backfires when the gas is let off.
I'm in the same boat. I had a 13 KQ750. Went to a 17 Grizz 700SE. I had no issues, but I want to go to another KQ750. Thinking an SE+ with Rugged Pkg with a plow.
