I need a second quad and am thinking of getting the KQ and giving the Vinny to my wife. What do you think about yours?

I think it is a great machine. I like the IRS but some people do not.

The real deciding factor was the EFI and IRS on the King.

A locker is nice and you really don't need. If you ride in deep deep snow or deep deep mud 80% of the time they you may want to get one but most don't need it. The type of tires you have make more of a difference that a locker IMO.

The Twin Peaks are nice too. Lots of power, very sporty but I don't care for the looks but again that just my opinion. No it's not a 2 wheel it's one of the best 4x4s out there too.

Neither is better than the other it comes down to your style of riding. If you're more of a sporty rider who like to slide the back end around corners and such then SRA is the way to go. If you're more of a slow rider then IRS is the way to go. IRS is more comfortable.

The IRS on my Grizz slides very nicely around corners even with it set on the next to softest setting. Just have to know how to move your weight and it's a breeze! Don't let liking to ride fast keep you from the Grizz, it's a FUN RIDE!!!

AmaZang,

I've been watching some of your posts and you are full of it. The Griz must be your first quad because you have no idea what you are talking about. The Griz is a nice machine but it's probably one of the most tipsy machines on the market. No matter what you say you can NOT slide the back end of an IRS machine like you can SRA!

In another post about tires you were wrong again. Stock tires will never match a good aftermarket tire and most are 2 ply which are more susceptible to flats. This was one reason I had to upgrade.

There are many people on the board that have been riding many years so don't come in and act like the rest of us don't know what we are talking about. There are many new ATVers on this board that are trying to get solid advice and they don't need someone telling them something they don't have a clue about.

I hate to get nasty but I've let to many of your posts go and simply had enough. By all means keep posting but only talk about things you know about.

I've been on a different board several years and have been riding for several years. I have been on this board on and off for over 2 years too. I've had different accounts - don't be an @$$ when you don't know a damn thing about me. And since you don't HAVE a Grizzly, why don't you leave actual experience with one to those of us that DO!

In another post about tires you were wrong again. Stock tires will never match a good aftermarket tire and most are 2 ply which are more susceptible to flats. This was one reason I had to upgrade.
Depends on your needs. If you HAVE TO be careful of pasture damage and only occationally get in the stream areas, the stock tires fit better because you can ride around in the pasture w/o ripping the cr@p out of it!

Again, you don't know a damn thing about me but you've sure revealed a LOT about who you are.

I doubt that you hate to be this way - you are pretty good at it. I do only post about things I am familar with and actual experiences I've had are the only situations I state as such. I'm sorry that I am automatically not qualified because I'm not it big bad AK in your mind but I appreciate your post so I can now keep anything from you in perspective.
