ARE YOU SERIOUS.... YOU REALLY THINK THE KING IS GOING TO KEEP UP WITH THAT.

 

I read a review on the KQ a few weeks ago that said the top speed was 72. My brute has been up to 74 already and i havent had it but a little over a week. So the top end may be close...but the brute should beat it from start to finish from what ive heard and from the specs on the KQ. Now this is just one aspect, all around the KQ may be better, only time will tell.

 

The Grizzly is a good quad but not the best quad avaible at the moment. The Prairie700 and BruteForce are a little superior. If you rather a quad equiped with a straight rear axle to get is much as you can from taking a sharp curve looking for the sport aspect of the sport/utility, then the Prairie700.
If you are looking for the an overall aspect of the sport/utility, then the BruteForce750
but the BruteForce can be giving what it needs to go from sport to racer with a simple suspension upgrade from Elka suspension. I would choose the BruteForce750

 

Hay mooseunit ! your Brute will do 75? DO you have a differant CDI? I was just wondering because I can only get 65 out of mine so far. I have a dynatec CDI ordered hoping to get a little more top end out of it for the winter time as I will be riding it like a snowmobile on the back roads.

As far as King Quad versus Brute force ...I'd say ther both excellent machines and the fuel injection would be a nice thing to have. My Brute runs great but still loads up once in a while which would be eliminated by EFI. I was too impatient to wait to see the King quad but I am very happy so far with my Brute. It changed the way I ride a utility quad. As far as the Grizzly I have no Idea , I had a couple of earlier Yamahas (1993 &1995 Kodiaks) and became a Honda fan after that till the Bute force came out. I know you can get really good deals on Grizzlys so something must be up. I have heard of some heat issues causing vapor lock but nothing else on the grizzly. This is the main reason along with low center of gravity all the big quads put there tank under seat and away from motor.

 

Only 65?? I got my brute up to 71 in only about 100 yds. Top speed should be around 74 stock. Sounds like you got some sort of problem.

 

somthing is up with yo brute cause if you cant get but 65 out of it you need to take it back to the dealer or FST or something. Take the CDI of and see if it changes anything.

 

Got a recall yesterday on my brute , it said the is a faulty pivot arm bolt in the front end and that I should not ride it until it is replaced. I called dealership and they said they just found out also so I scheduled an appointment for Friday and also told the service manager that he is going to have to tune my bike because it still loads up when idling and I expected this to be warranty work since bike is only three weeks old. It may be running way to rich is why I can only get 65 out of it. I want it tuned perfectly before I switch boxes , that way I can make sure I am getting the most out of it.
