I bought a 2019 Kingquad 750 a few months ago and it's great. The power feels amazing after riding my dad's 2007 Kingquad 450 for the last few years. The 450 has been through hell and back and it refuses to even break down. It's all original parts, just needs a new CV joint as it is clicking and bound to break soon. I got a Kingquad because I know they are very reliable and I got a good deal on it. I walked in wanting a 500 and walked put with a 750, glad I did because it's amazing. 100% satisfied.
Still have my 2009 King Quad 750 with close to 15 000 kms and 800 hours. Mostly ridden aggressively year round in Canada, this thing won't die and 98% of the parts are original. I've owned Honda, Polaris and Yamaha yet still stick with the King as it has a mix of characteristics of all those brands. It is a well designed, functional and fun machine with unbelievable reliability. People have gotten too power hungry and most riders don't even need all that power constantly. The King might be slower than comparable Polaris and Can Am but in tight trails it'll leave them dead in the turns as this thing is light and much more flickable than those heavy boats. It's a shame Suzuki doesn't use one of their magnificent motorcycle engine (think V Strom 650 and 1000 V-twin) and plant it in their quad because the competition would be in serious trouble.
Thanks a lot for sharing your feedback on your king quad. The power that the 750 puts out is more than adequate for most Riders. Still, we think Suzuki would benefit from using one of those big v-twins in an ATV for the status it would provide for their brand.
yeah i agree with you, im thinking about getting the king quad 750 to replace my 2011 polaris sportsman 500 ho as the axles are close to breaking and shes not doin too good but i completely agree with you calling the others boats because you know how many times ive almost flipped my sportsman? alot, actually i have flipped it 3 times
I've own a 450 king 2008 and a 500 2015 king and love them both. My biggest complaint is the plastic breaking, but with regards to reliability these bikes are awesome. I now would like a 750. I think the extra power would be great.
That's good to know I've had my 750 for a year and put about 1100 miles on it so far. I trail ride and sometimes will go a little hard. So far its handled everything I've thrown at it but I dont want to tip mine or roll it down a hill so I avoid certain things if I can. I'm getting better at being able to whip it around where I want it pretty easily. I was looking at a 500 Se plus and they had a 750 with a little paint damage I wound up getting for less. Its plenty of power for me.
I watched this video thinking I would never be able to buy a kingquad because it’s too expensive for a good condition one. I needed up buying one when I found a 700 for $3600. Even came with a plow and a salt spreader. Thank you for making this video because I ended up getting one and I love it!
Me too 2 years ago I didn't think i could ever get one and right now i have both a 2019 500 and 2020 750 i got both for 8,400 dollars and man im in love with both of them
2 years ago I watched this video and wished i could afford at least one and 2 years later i have both of them and I don't owe a single penny on them I love them both
I love my ‘21 750. Hauls wood, Plows a huge snow drifted driveway, pulls a box blade, hits some gnarly trails and hasn’t skipped a beat! It’s built like a tank!
The only complaints I would have with the KQ would be squeaky brakes (changed the pads and went away) And the tires. The stock Carlisle’s belong on a riding lawn mower. As mentioned in the video the sidewalls are very soft.
had an 06 king and my only complaint was the lack of after market parts for it. ran like a champ and never had a problem with it in the 6 yrs i owned it.
Polaris might be higher performance and all that jazz, but they break. Often. I used to work in the service department for a Polaris /Suzuki /Kawasaki /Kymco dealer. We rarely ever had Suzukis in the shop with mechanical problems. Usually due to wrecks. Polaris on the other hand... Constant axles, ball joints/bearings, engine and electrical problems. As high performance and nice as they are, I'd never own a Polaris. Crappy warranty too, they fight you WAY more than the Japanese manufacturers
I have 3800 miles and 355 hours on my 09 KQ500, LOTS of plowing snow. It has never failed me, clean it after use. Service fluids and keep things lubed per factory and it will not disappoint you.
@@mapleridgefarm1026 They are easy to adjust since the 500 using tappets, I adjusted mine once at 2000 miles, after that they stayed in spec. I reached 4000 miles on mine and 420h before a tree smashed it in a windstorm. I now have a 2020 750.
@@Re-Booter ok thanks, were they fairly out of spec at 2000km? Just worried about dirt getting in the motor as i seen from videos that it exposes the motor to dust and debris at different stages.
@@mapleridgefarm1026 I never had that problem, one just have to make sure you have a good tights seal between throttle body and air filter neck. Use Uni type air filter, I've never had a problem with them. Clean them and oil them once a year.
@@mapleridgefarm1026 The events where people have ingested dust into the engine, either by too much submarine action or worn motor mounts that allowed excessive movement of the engine, slipping intake off throttle body.
In my opinion, the best part about having the true 4wd with diff lock is that the machines retain the ability to have independent front and rear brakes. That's the biggest loss with a CanAm and a Sportsman. The Sportsman AWD works exceptionally well, having gone from the Grizzly 700 to the Sportsman XP1000, biggest thing I miss is the independent brakes... Great comparison, the close price point would make the decision easy for me!
I know this is an old video but the KingQuad is a nice quality machine . I traded in my sportsman 1000 on a 2022 KQ 750. I knew it didn’t have the robust power from my 3 brutes and the 1000 but it has enough . It just sorely needs snappier clutching to make better use of what it has . Lazy low end clutching . But i don’t even mind that so much anymore lol .
Big-bore singles like the king quad have all the power most people need. The Suzuki's have a great reputation for reliability. While we wish they would do some more updating the fact that they haven't has kept this video relevant.
Great Video!!! I’m pulling the trigger on a new 2020 King Quad 750. After rebates they price difference is only $750!!! This video was perfect for deciding between the 750 and 500. Thanks!!!
Go for it. You wont regret the 750. I was going to get a 500 but due to a little paint damage got it for less than the 500, and it was the se plus even. I had no clue it handled bumps better but mine rides pretty smooth for the terrain. Better tires I will get soon, other than that I have 0 complaints. It's got good power stock, but at some point I may exhaust and upgrade the computer.
@@rzl07375 I've been posting video since november of last year of my rides. I've found it's a capable machine for sure. It can do more than I think it can. Lol. I used to do just basic trails growing up so I'm always not wanting to tip mine over. I do have insurance but that's less time riding. Lol. I have met 2 new people on here to ride with with each model of a can am, they are 570s so I think they wont have the unreliable issues the big ones have. I guess we will see.
@@paulcu130 love it. I was going to get a 500, the 750 had a bad paint spot so I got it for less than the 500. I cant complain one bit. I'm sure I would have been happy with the 500 but the smoother ride of the 750 confirms part of why I like it so much.
Our second Rider had a gymnastics tournament with his daughter. Had to let him slide. The 750 was definitely faster accelerating and the only reason it went faster in our timed to lap. Thanks for watching.
Yes!!! Thank you for this comparison. I've been toying with the idea of the KingQuad 750 for about a year now. Was going to purchase one last summer but had an abrupt move two hours south and one vehicle getting totaled in the process - we're saving again! Anyways, for 1k more it only makes since to grab the 750. Only reason for a 500 is with heavy discounts making it a $2k difference or greater in my opinion.
The 750 is really fun to ride. I've had mine for a year now. I looked around for about 7 to 8 months before I bought anything. I talked to mechanics about what brands are easier to work on. I figured if it breaks it's less shop cost to fix.
@@chadweaver251 easier than the Polaris is what I have heard. With the warranty stuff I wouldn't have to fix it anyways. Lol. But I can say they leave access to oil etc and from looking it looks pretty straight forward. Just ask shop techs what they think. I've put close to 1900 miles on mine with no issues so far. I don't ride or slam the brakes either so they are still good even.
Glad to do it. We had a feeling that there would be a lot of people out there that might be scratching their heads picking between these two. We also had a feeling that there was a number of people who would actually be better off with the 500. Thank you very much for taking the time to watch and comment.
I can’t believe they send the 750 out with those wimpy tires. Fine for the 500, but the 750 could really use a better tire. Good for the test here, but come on, Suzuki!
@@ChuckBeefOG not directly from Suzuki it didn’t come that way. Maybe your dealer installed those tires. But you can’t get them directly from Suzuki with anything but those wimpy 25” Carlisle 489’s, which are easily over powered by a 750, let a lone the little 500cc. So I could see a dealer swapping tires on a few units before they sell.
I bought the 500 axi in 2012 its been a great bike not one single issue ever at 9000 km to date . I will be buying the 500 again if i ever wear this one out.
If u get the 500 and put exhuast, fuel optimizer, tires and winch the value is defedentaly better with what you've saved and you have an atv that is lighter and almost as poeerfull. But a yoused 750 for the right price would be a great option.
We are going to work on that. Suzuki just snatched back r750 but we are hoping to order another one as soon as the 2020s come available in the next couple months. We will be holding onto the exhaust system and optimizer in hopes of making this happen. Frankly, we'd like to just do a little build project on the 750.
@@ATVonDemand That would be a cool project. Also I think a cool project would be to grab a base model cheapest one Sportsman 570 and do a build with tires, clutching, ecu tuning. Most of us can actually afford a 570 compared to other models.
Best king quad ever made was the 92 king quad 300 lol. Mine had over 10,000 miles on it and a lot of miles without any oil in it lmao. It was literally bulletproof.
@hank 1 that's crazy but a true testament to how good build quality was back then. I wish I still had mine but I do know the guy that has the 1 I had and it's still running to this day.
We got a 2014 500 with 25,000 k on it . Use it for dairy farm use. Like it a lot over 400 and the 750. I think the 750 had problems with them over heating on the older models. Our dealership said they struggled to sell the 750 s over the 500 s.
It's not that expensive for my 750 and um under 40. I do have a good driving record too, I know not everyone has that. No speeding tickets in a decade.
Good machines. Glad they went back to a third headlight design. I would never use it (I've got stuff on my font rack all the time), but it's become synonymous with the KQ. The year or two that they didn't have the 3rd headlight was kind of ugly.
We were glad to see it come back. The only time we're willing to go without the singer headlight is if the manufacturer is going to mount the digital dash panel on the body work in front of the handlebars that way you can run aftermarket bars. If they're going to run the dash panel on the handlebars and we would definitely like the handlebar mounted light..
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the subscription. We figured a lot of people looking at Suzuki might be trying to figure out which one of the two would be best for them.
Wow I could never imagine driving that fast and aggressively on a trail. I would also never go down the steep hill in with the rear tires went up in the video
@@ethanmedders2266 I have a Polaris xp550 now and have been pretty happy with it. No problems with reliability at all. I think in this case the Grizzly is more sexy but the king quad had a lot of goodness people dont acknowledge.
Anyone that is chasing big HP numbers and fancy marketing when shopping for a ATV may end up with a questionable piece of crap ATV plain and simple lol. The Suzuki King Quad is the most reliable ATV on earth 500 or a 750, and that is all there is to it. I would rate the Yamaha Grizzly as a close 2nd or nearly just as reliable.. Any of these other exotic Can-Am or Polaris machines pushing big HP may look appealing at first. But, I have just heard so many horror stories from them.. Power will always find the weakest link! And the Suzuki Kingquad or Yamaha Grizzly are built to handle decades of hard abuse of there power that they produce while riding them very aggressive!
@@clutchitup8565 I've had mine a year and put 1100 miles on it and 100 hours, I love it. It's the first one I've even bought new. I've posted all my rides since november on here. I looked for months and researched, watched people ride the newer brands etc. I was looking at honda, suzuki, and yamaha. For the money the KQ seemed best to me on features and engine size at 750. The front end on the 2019 looks pretty aggressive like some of the other machines. I do wish they had the black rims in 2019. Mine would look good black or a dark gunmetal with the bronze color body panels. It handles really well to me also.
I figure It's a Liability and Safety issue for the Big 4 Japanese Manufacturers. Last year a Honda 1 up ATV passed me with 2 Hunters during the Utah Deer hunt. I was also hunting and on foot. It was still dark and they hit a large rock on a moderate slope and went over backwards. Only 20' in front of me I saw that machine land on top of Both hunters with their guns, gear etc. It was on an incline and they were unable to get out from underneath the Honda with the weight of the machine and the gear on the racks. The hunter on the back also had the operator on top of him along with the machine. I had a lot of adrenaline and was able to get the machine off them both. Guns, equipment and everything was scattered all all over the place. Both had head injuries along with bumps and bruises. (No helmets) After seeing that, I can see where riding 2 up can be very dangerous. I would never want to go over backwards with my wife on the quad with me being the operator. Just say'in. Looking for a 2022 KQ 750. Right now hard to find!
@@ATVonDemand Indeed, $1k difference is pretty minimal considering. No brainer in my opinion. Id like to see this go head to head with the Grizzly 700 though. Maybe you guys could make that happen?.?.?
@@vincedaugherty9687 we had to send our 2019 750 back today. But we are hoping to get a 2020 a project build. Perhaps that would give us the opportunity. Could be a good mid to late Summer video.
@@ATVonDemand just curious as to what motor mods you would do to the 750 king quad. I've only heard of adding a pipe and a new ecu, clutch work (machined sheaves both face and pockets where weights sits) and new weights and new spring. Are you talking about boring out the cylinder and changing the cam. If so where do you find parts for that. Thank you
We didn't measure it and Suxuki's PR department basically nonexistent at this point as far as we can tell. Your best bet would be to contact Suzuki customer service and ask them if they can get that info for you.
Most premium tires would be better. Gbc dirt commander, Maxxis big horn, We are also about to try the Kenda bearclaw EVO. They seem promising but we will see.
Good machine. We hear a lot of people saying they would like to see Yamaha or Suzuki come out with a more powerful V-Twin machine. Sometimes we think they have forgotten about the Kawasaki. We wish Kawasaki would update the chassis though with a slightly wider stance and more suspension travel. The motor in a Kawasaki is all almost anyone would ever need. Of course, there are mud guys out there who would always want more. We reviewed the Brute Force 750 a few years back when they overhauled the model.
@@jessieb5986 I recommend the brute force if you want to have as much fun as possible and I recommend the KQ if you want the most comfortable ride. I’m hopefully getting the 2022 Kawasaki brute force when they come out.
I have 2 now a 2004 Elgra and a 2018 King quad i love my Suzuki and my 400 would do anything the 500 will and 1 grand less I got FSI as i can shift myself saved another grand
Any possibility of CFMOTO reviews? I really appreciate the technical data of changes down to the millimeter, no dealer sales idiot would know anything about the bike other then him reading off the website to you. I want that hardcore engineering data and design as a customer. I want to feel the brakes, chassis flex, suspension tuning, etc and know what was updated year to year. Thanks for the technical insight in all the videos you do. C force, z force and u force would be a great addition, the brand overall is very very under appreciated, very well built units from a engineering standpoint.
Thanks so much for the positive feedback. We would definitely be interested in trying some ATVs from CFMOTO, side by sides on our sister Channel. Perhaps we need to reach out to them.We put a lot of work into understanding and laying all the technical information because we know it's important to the serious buyer or enthusiast. We are glad you appreciate the effort.
ATVonDemand I just took a zforce 500 out to Hatfield-McCoy for a serious rip and beating, I’ve been threw the vehicle front to rear and I gotta say it’s very under-estimated. There heavier then there competition but very well built and extremely strong. The tech and engineering put into there equipment is up on the level of Yamaha and Honda, with the value beating even Polaris’s price point (though it’s junk). I think you’d be impressed if you got your hands on them. The only flaw I could find is the tires they come with are hard as a rock, I’m talking 0 psi in it and you couldn’t tell. It wouldn’t flatten out what so ever or break the bead off, so ride quality will feel like crap but a good set of tires and your good. Clutching, suspension, engine, brakes, even down to fit an finish feels top notch. Nothing feels cheap, finally a china product worth talking about. I’m a fan, and I’m not an easy guy to please at all..l like it better then my Honda rubicon honestly, it feels more structurally sound then the #1 reliability focused manufacture on the planet. Keep it up, looking forward to more!
This episode should have started with "going into it's 15th year of production with only minor changes, Suzuki has surpassed the Honda 300's 14 year run when it comes to being too lazy to update a product lineup to be competitive"...
Are you talkin Outlander XMR versus Sportsman highlifter Edition? Maybe when the 2020 models come out. For now, it's time for Outlander 1000 xtp vs. Sportsman 1000 premium.
Do you know what, it actually did. We got a notice on this video a while back saying it was deemed inappropriate for monetization. We could have asked for review but did not. We couldn't figure out why in the hell they would be monetize this video. Now we know
The Japanese manufacturers stopped progressing around the introduction of EFI. It sucks because none of them besides maybe the brute with some mods can even turn tires big enough to fill in the ruts left by today's big bore Can Ams and Polaris's. Fact is if you show up to a big ride with a Japanese bike you are sheep in a den of wolves.
Drennan Rutherford I’ve watched a king quad 700 on 29.5 ol1s keep up and even do better in some mud than a highlifter 850 on the stock 29.5 ol2s just because the KQ is little lighter than the Polaris driven buy the same guy!
You are exactly right. I had a KQ 700 with 27’s, it had plenty of power for me and I went the same places the big boys would go but when it’s balls to the wall and no stopping up in Windrock OHV trails in Tennessee you can’t keep up with even can am 650 or any of the 850’s. You get smoked. I drove my buddy’s 2019 Sportsman 850 recently and dang it’s so fast and powerful, it’s a huge change in performance.
You're right but I also show up to these rides on a 250cc TriZ 3 wheeler and hang with them on the trails. Obviously I can't hit those big holes but it's all about the correct line. There's always a bigger machines. It's all about having fun!
Is it just me.. Cos When I messured my 2022 I just picked up. The Front Wheel Track is 3 inchs less when the rear tires??? I''m going to have to add 1.5 inches to each side. To get the wheel tracks back even. ESP For snow riding!! Dam engineers.. I've got over 100 000 miles on Atvs. The wheels need to be even SUZUKI!!! ESP for Canada. The Fuel tank!! Is the pits!!! A 6gallon tank for 750 would have been nice. Today I took my new ride on a long trip. 177 miles. I already can point to stupid little things. That add up fast. I should have bought the Side by Side. I had on order... but Yamaha has no production..
That automatic CVT bullshit is a deal-breaker for me. I would love to have the 750 because it has 50 horsepower but I'll have to go get a Honda Rubicon wity a 5 speed . I'm sorry. I just have got to have my manual transmission. And I would also buy a Yamaha Raptor 700 because it has a manual clutch and it's fast. But I just cannot deal with that CVT automatic junk. I do not like automatic transmissions
Another thing when it comes to price on these. You can get a Sportsman 570 for thousands cheaper. Then you can spend around 600 to 700 dollars on an ecu tune, exhaust and clutch kit. You will then be putting out more power than the 750 while saving thousands of dollars. But one thing you wont have is the Suzuki build quality. I bet the Suzuki would have more top end still but I bet the modded 570 would accelerate faster.
@@rzl07375 of course, that is before you start adding mods to the KingQuad 750. If the Suzuki is higher quality than the Polaris how will the additional horsepower affect the longevity of the Polaris? If the Suzuki is more robust would it be more reliable in the long run once you start hopping it up? So much to ponder. We have to agree, the price of that 570 out of the box or the Can-Am 570 for that matter are putting the squeeze on the Japanese manufacturers.
@@ATVonDemand ....Yes the build quality for sure is factor. But if you do a stage 3 tune on the 570 with exhaust your right at the same numbers the 750 would have with a HMF and optimizer. However in one aspect the mods actually helps the Polaris with holding up as with the ecu tune it makes the fan come on sooner and helps decrease running operation temps. The 570 is a very detuned motor from the factory and there are hundreds of guys out there running these tunes that love them and have no issues. I own both a Polaris and a Japanese machine so I know the differences between the manufactures as I try to do most my own maintenance and work. I actually love the 750 Kingquads and want one. I just think think its an interesting discussion on what you can get for your money.
@@ATVonDemand was going a tad slow threw a few spot thought it was funny cause my buddie don’t drive his like that ahah I don’t honeslty think his front tires touch the ground when he coming out of a corner on his king quad ahha good machines tho
I have a 2013 axi power steering The power steering is useless. When you need power steering, as in when your stopped or in a tight spot and trying to turn around you get NO POWER STEERING. But when your moving you get all the power steering you don’t need. Japanese quads have useless power steering Both Can Am and Polaris have finger tip super easy real power steering The suspension is jarring and make the bike unruly in rough terrain. Other than the useless power steering the rest of the bike has been flawless... But 1000.00 for power steering that is useless unless your moving is a real rip-off
@@snakeplisken4119 Bud if you think the power steering does anything at all besides cost a lot your living in a dream world Try a Can Am or a Polaris product that actually has power steering.
We do believe Suzuki should release a price point Focus the machine to compete against the Polaris 570, Kodiak 450, Outlander 570, Etc. We tend to agree that people would be doing themselves and the market more good if they purchased machines they could afford to buy with cash however the entire industry is being held up now by machines that cost $20,000 to $25,000 that very few people can actually afford to purchase. For what it is worth, every time we are face to face with a manufacturer at a press event we can pretty much guarantee you that we are advocating for them to build more affordable machines. ATVs do not have to be huge or complex to be good. However part of that complexity is coming from a federal government that wants to get rid of airplanes in this constantly requiring these machines run cleaner and cleaner. Sorry for going in so many directions but it's kind of a complicated subject. Bring back 2 Strokes.
ATVonDemand you’re absolutely correct. This is a game that is going on in both the automotive and recreational industries: make units that are so expensive you cant afford them except to finance them and so complex that you don’t dare keep them off warranty. I also agree this ever-moving of ground of fuel efficiency is just ruining these products. I purchased a new Honda CRF250L last year (cash). It barely had enough power to be streetable due to its tuning for efficiency and high gearing. 6th gear was completely useless on the road unless you were going down hill. You pretty much have to drop another $3000 on a $6000 bike to get the performance you should get by adding different exhaust, fuel mapping etc. The price and of things like cars and student loans are going to cause the next crash, mark my words. People financing ATVs is insane an just more proof people may not have learned as much as we hoped for the last crash.
there are affordable machines, like the bruteforce 300 (aka kymco mxu 300) but no one buy it. I'm pretty sure it's a very fun machine tho. I have an Ace900SP and a kymco mxu150 (yes, 150cc) and in thight spots i have as much fun throwing my super lightweight atv as riding provincial trails in my SP. It's a different fun but still as fun. you need to do with what you have instead of trying to tame the power.
Pug in play ecu with mods defo help them quads looks not fast for a 750cc very big lol a 500cc should not keep up with a 750 if so why buy bigger engine quad lol
@@clutchitup8565 canned ham belt. Lol. I just met a couple of people who bought the 570 can am, one an Outlander, the other got the mudding one. I will find out how they work soon enough riding with them.
This video is about helping people pick the right machine for them based upon their budget and needs. It is not about picking a winner. Like you said, it's obvious which one is going to be faster but by how much. Congratulations, after 10,000 views you were the first person to leave a snarky comment on this video.
That would depend on what the owner uses it for. Some people do low speed utility work with their ATVs and may not have the space or desire to run one at full speed. Regardless of what the ATV is doing, the 750 will burn more gas, generate more heat and cost more to maintain its DOHC engine. The 500 has the same heavy duty chassis, towing capacity and Diff lock as the 750. For some buyers, the 500 makes more sense.
I bought a 2019 Kingquad 750 a few months ago and it's great. The power feels amazing after riding my dad's 2007 Kingquad 450 for the last few years. The 450 has been through hell and back and it refuses to even break down. It's all original parts, just needs a new CV joint as it is clicking and bound to break soon. I got a Kingquad because I know they are very reliable and I got a good deal on it. I walked in wanting a 500 and walked put with a 750, glad I did because it's amazing. 100% satisfied.
Instablaster...
Still have my 2009 King Quad 750 with close to 15 000 kms and 800 hours. Mostly ridden aggressively year round in Canada, this thing won't die and 98% of the parts are original. I've owned Honda, Polaris and Yamaha yet still stick with the King as it has a mix of characteristics of all those brands. It is a well designed, functional and fun machine with unbelievable reliability. People have gotten too power hungry and most riders don't even need all that power constantly. The King might be slower than comparable Polaris and Can Am but in tight trails it'll leave them dead in the turns as this thing is light and much more flickable than those heavy boats. It's a shame Suzuki doesn't use one of their magnificent motorcycle engine (think V Strom 650 and 1000 V-twin) and plant it in their quad because the competition would be in serious trouble.
Thanks a lot for sharing your feedback on your king quad. The power that the 750 puts out is more than adequate for most Riders. Still, we think Suzuki would benefit from using one of those big v-twins in an ATV for the status it would provide for their brand.
yeah i agree with you, im thinking about getting the king quad 750 to replace my 2011 polaris sportsman 500 ho as the axles are close to breaking and shes not doin too good but i completely agree with you calling the others boats because you know how many times ive almost flipped my sportsman? alot, actually i have flipped it 3 times
I've own a 450 king 2008 and a 500 2015 king and love them both. My biggest complaint is the plastic breaking, but with regards to reliability these bikes are awesome. I now would like a 750. I think the extra power would be great.
I have a 2011 500 different tires on it and it's a beast
That's good to know I've had my 750 for a year and put about 1100 miles on it so far. I trail ride and sometimes will go a little hard. So far its handled everything I've thrown at it but I dont want to tip mine or roll it down a hill so I avoid certain things if I can. I'm getting better at being able to whip it around where I want it pretty easily. I was looking at a 500 Se plus and they had a 750 with a little paint damage I wound up getting for less. Its plenty of power for me.
I watched this video thinking I would never be able to buy a kingquad because it’s too expensive for a good condition one. I needed up buying one when I found a 700 for $3600. Even came with a plow and a salt spreader. Thank you for making this video because I ended up getting one and I love it!
Me too 2 years ago I didn't think i could ever get one and right now i have both a 2019 500 and 2020 750 i got both for 8,400 dollars and man im in love with both of them
Just did over 300 miles on my 750 King Quad in the past three weeks...it's awesome
500 is plenty!! Actually the 400 is plenty! Just picked mine up today I absolutely love it!!!
2 years ago I watched this video and wished i could afford at least one and 2 years later i have both of them and I don't owe a single penny on them I love them both
Awesome comment! We love hearing about people making their dreams come true.
I have a 500 and it works great for my aggressive trailer riding style but I would like the power of the 750. It’s still super durable and worth it
I love my ‘21 750. Hauls wood, Plows a huge snow drifted driveway, pulls a box blade, hits some gnarly trails and hasn’t skipped a beat! It’s built like a tank!
Thanks for sharing your experience. We love owner feedback. Sounds like your king quad has a busy life.
The only complaints I would have with the KQ would be squeaky brakes (changed the pads and went away) And the tires. The stock Carlisle’s belong on a riding lawn mower. As mentioned in the video the sidewalls are very soft.
had an 06 king and my only complaint was the lack of after market parts for it.
ran like a champ and never had a problem with it in the 6 yrs i owned it.
I’m glad they DONT change. I have a 750 & love it
Me too, Suzuki knows how to keep things simple and RELIABLE. That's the point for utility ATVs
Polaris might be higher performance and all that jazz, but they break. Often. I used to work in the service department for a Polaris /Suzuki /Kawasaki /Kymco dealer. We rarely ever had Suzukis in the shop with mechanical problems. Usually due to wrecks. Polaris on the other hand... Constant axles, ball joints/bearings, engine and electrical problems. As high performance and nice as they are, I'd never own a Polaris. Crappy warranty too, they fight you WAY more than the Japanese manufacturers
I have 3800 miles and 355 hours on my 09 KQ500, LOTS of plowing snow. It has never failed me, clean it after use. Service fluids and keep things lubed per factory and it will not disappoint you.
Did you adjust the valves to get to this mileage. Just got the 500 and its my first FI, just wondering how crucial it is to adjust them or not.
@@mapleridgefarm1026 They are easy to adjust since the 500 using tappets, I adjusted mine once at 2000 miles, after that they stayed in spec. I reached 4000 miles on mine and 420h before a tree smashed it in a windstorm. I now have a 2020 750.
@@Re-Booter ok thanks, were they fairly out of spec at 2000km? Just worried about dirt getting in the motor as i seen from videos that it exposes the motor to dust and debris at different stages.
@@mapleridgefarm1026 I never had that problem, one just have to make sure you have a good tights seal between throttle body and air filter neck. Use Uni type air filter, I've never had a problem with them. Clean them and oil them once a year.
@@mapleridgefarm1026 The events where people have ingested dust into the engine, either by too much submarine action or worn motor mounts that allowed excessive movement of the engine, slipping intake off throttle body.
In my opinion, the best part about having the true 4wd with diff lock is that the machines retain the ability to have independent front and rear brakes. That's the biggest loss with a CanAm and a Sportsman. The Sportsman AWD works exceptionally well, having gone from the Grizzly 700 to the Sportsman XP1000, biggest thing I miss is the independent brakes... Great comparison, the close price point would make the decision easy for me!
I know this is an old video but the KingQuad is a nice quality machine . I traded in my sportsman 1000 on a 2022 KQ 750. I knew it didn’t have the robust power from my 3 brutes and the 1000 but it has enough . It just sorely needs snappier clutching to make better use of what it has . Lazy low end clutching . But i don’t even mind that so much anymore lol .
Big-bore singles like the king quad have all the power most people need. The Suzuki's have a great reputation for reliability. While we wish they would do some more updating the fact that they haven't has kept this video relevant.
Great Video!!!
I’m pulling the trigger on a new 2020 King Quad 750. After rebates they price difference is only $750!!!
This video was perfect for deciding between the 750 and 500. Thanks!!!
Glad we could help! Enjoy your new machine.
Go for it. You wont regret the 750. I was going to get a 500 but due to a little paint damage got it for less than the 500, and it was the se plus even. I had no clue it handled bumps better but mine rides pretty smooth for the terrain. Better tires I will get soon, other than that I have 0 complaints. It's got good power stock, but at some point I may exhaust and upgrade the computer.
Ive got the five hundred and by God does it rip around great for farming, beach running and tracks
Very happy to hear you are enjoying your 500! Thank you for sharing your experience with the machine.
You nailed it with the comment at the end about more performance lurking in the clutch. Its amazing what some clutching will do.
I assume I can do that without messing with the exhaust or computer right?
@@thecasualatvguy617 absolutely. All depends what your looking to gain
@@rzl07375 I've been posting video since november of last year of my rides. I've found it's a capable machine for sure. It can do more than I think it can. Lol. I used to do just basic trails growing up so I'm always not wanting to tip mine over. I do have insurance but that's less time riding. Lol. I have met 2 new people on here to ride with with each model of a can am, they are 570s so I think they wont have the unreliable issues the big ones have. I guess we will see.
I'd pick the 500, plenty for what I need
Right on.
For what I would want and need the 500 is good.
For every thing I do my 500 does great. However, I am curious about the 750
@@paulcu130 love it. I was going to get a 500, the 750 had a bad paint spot so I got it for less than the 500. I cant complain one bit. I'm sure I would have been happy with the 500 but the smoother ride of the 750 confirms part of why I like it so much.
Joz Sports this is what I getting
A very well laid out comparison. Although, would have loved to see a drag race with riders switching machines. Good job, guys.
Our second Rider had a gymnastics tournament with his daughter. Had to let him slide. The 750 was definitely faster accelerating and the only reason it went faster in our timed to lap. Thanks for watching.
Yes!!! Thank you for this comparison. I've been toying with the idea of the KingQuad 750 for about a year now. Was going to purchase one last summer but had an abrupt move two hours south and one vehicle getting totaled in the process - we're saving again! Anyways, for 1k more it only makes since to grab the 750. Only reason for a 500 is with heavy discounts making it a $2k difference or greater in my opinion.
Very good suggestion.
The 750 is really fun to ride. I've had mine for a year now. I looked around for about 7 to 8 months before I bought anything. I talked to mechanics about what brands are easier to work on. I figured if it breaks it's less shop cost to fix.
@@thecasualatvguy617 so the Suzuki is the easiest machine to work on? Thanks
@@chadweaver251 easier than the Polaris is what I have heard. With the warranty stuff I wouldn't have to fix it anyways. Lol. But I can say they leave access to oil etc and from looking it looks pretty straight forward. Just ask shop techs what they think. I've put close to 1900 miles on mine with no issues so far. I don't ride or slam the brakes either so they are still good even.
Awsome ive been waiting for this since i saw the 750 review
Sorry we left you hanging so long.
Very good presentation on both quads! I'd pick the 500 for my needs. Thanks for the review 😁
Glad to do it. We had a feeling that there would be a lot of people out there that might be scratching their heads picking between these two. We also had a feeling that there was a number of people who would actually be better off with the 500. Thank you very much for taking the time to watch and comment.
I can’t believe they send the 750 out with those wimpy tires. Fine for the 500, but the 750 could really use a better tire. Good for the test here, but come on, Suzuki!
My 750 came with 28” CST WildThangs on aluminum wheels.
@@ChuckBeefOG not directly from Suzuki it didn’t come that way. Maybe your dealer installed those tires. But you can’t get them directly from Suzuki with anything but those wimpy 25” Carlisle 489’s, which are easily over powered by a 750, let a lone the little 500cc. So I could see a dealer swapping tires on a few units before they sell.
Great videos guys ..keep em coming!
Will do. We have a lot of big things coming in the next few weeks.
I bought the 500 axi in 2012 its been a great bike not one single issue ever at 9000 km to date . I will be buying the 500 again if i ever wear this one out.
We really appreciate you sharing your experience with your king quad. We love hearing from real-world owners.
Did you adjust the valves yet? Just got a 2019 king 500 and wondering how crucial it is to get this done.
@@mapleridgefarm1026 bike running great only thing I have done is put a new battery in and regular maintenance 12 000 km
@@steve123261 ok thanks
If u get the 500 and put exhuast, fuel optimizer, tires and winch the value is defedentaly better with what you've saved and you have an atv that is lighter and almost as poeerfull. But a yoused 750 for the right price would be a great option.
All good points. You could buy some accessories with that grand. It wouldn't be lighter though. Winch and the tires would add weight.
@ATVonDemand that's true. I didn't realize how similar in wieght they are.
Now I wanna see a test of the 750 with that HMF exhaust and optimizer.
We are going to work on that. Suzuki just snatched back r750 but we are hoping to order another one as soon as the 2020s come available in the next couple months. We will be holding onto the exhaust system and optimizer in hopes of making this happen. Frankly, we'd like to just do a little build project on the 750.
@@ATVonDemand That would be a cool project. Also I think a cool project would be to grab a base model cheapest one Sportsman 570 and do a build with tires, clutching, ecu tuning. Most of us can actually afford a 570 compared to other models.
Best king quad ever made was the 92 king quad 300 lol. Mine had over 10,000 miles on it and a lot of miles without any oil in it lmao. It was literally bulletproof.
I had a 98 and 01 they were the same as u had and they never give me any problems I put a neutral switch on 98 that’s all
I have the 250. Yes they are very reliable. People on the group pages have showed their odometers at 30, 40 and 50k miles!
@hank 1 that's crazy but a true testament to how good build quality was back then. I wish I still had mine but I do know the guy that has the 1 I had and it's still running to this day.
We got a 2014 500 with 25,000 k on it . Use it for dairy farm use. Like it a lot over 400 and the 750. I think the 750 had problems with them over heating on the older models. Our dealership said they struggled to sell the 750 s over the 500 s.
my 18 king 750
eps is a beast was stuck between that and the rubicon glad i went home w the king
Good review, Sounds like the 500 is the way to go. Save on gas and insurance also
Excellent point on the insurance. Never thought about that.
It's not that expensive for my 750 and um under 40. I do have a good driving record too, I know not everyone has that. No speeding tickets in a decade.
i would like to see a atv, utv, and side by side comparo on the off brands like Brenneche, Odes, CF Moto, Massimo, and Hisun.
These are the industry leader of fit finish and build quality not to much to compare tbh
I just bought a King Quad 5004x4 for snowplow My Conter-part is an Arctic Cat 400 4x4 and works just as well
We need a video on the 2019 suzuki kingquad 400 4x4 asi
Perhaps 2020. They're coming soon.
my friend has a 400 asi 2019 and I have a 500 2019 I would recommend the 500 💪🏁👌😎
Good machines. Glad they went back to a third headlight design. I would never use it (I've got stuff on my font rack all the time), but it's become synonymous with the KQ. The year or two that they didn't have the 3rd headlight was kind of ugly.
We were glad to see it come back. The only time we're willing to go without the singer headlight is if the manufacturer is going to mount the digital dash panel on the body work in front of the handlebars that way you can run aftermarket bars. If they're going to run the dash panel on the handlebars and we would definitely like the handlebar mounted light..
i was looking at 500 today! looks pretty nice btw and well built !
I love these videos great content fellas
We love you taking the time to watch. We have a couple little videos coming meanwhile, we are getting ready to shoot the 1000s.

Incredibly detailed review! Wow. Subscribed.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the subscription. We figured a lot of people looking at Suzuki might be trying to figure out which one of the two would be best for them.
Wow I could never imagine driving that fast and aggressively on a trail. I would also never go down the steep hill in with the rear tires went up in the video
We push performance to the limit so you don't have to.

Then buy one!! I did. Lol. My channel is nothing but trails on it. Beasley knob is hard on the body.
excellent vid!!!!
Anyone that is chasing big HP numbers and fancy marketing when shopping for a ATV may end up with a questionable piece of crap ATV plain and simple lol. The Suzuki King Quad is the most reliable ATV on earth 500 or a 750, and that is all there is to it. I would rate the Yamaha Grizzly as a close 2nd or nearly just as reliable.. Any of these other exotic Can-Am or Polaris machines pushing big HP may look appealing at first. But, I have just heard so many horror stories from them.. Power will always find the weakest link! And the Suzuki Kingquad or Yamaha Grizzly are built to handle decades of hard abuse of there power that they produce while riding them very aggressive!
Ya I'm worried about can am reliabilty I'm steering towards suzuki king quad 750 now
@@clutchitup8565 I've had mine a year and put 1100 miles on it and 100 hours, I love it. It's the first one I've even bought new. I've posted all my rides since november on here. I looked for months and researched, watched people ride the newer brands etc. I was looking at honda, suzuki, and yamaha. For the money the KQ seemed best to me on features and engine size at 750. The front end on the 2019 looks pretty aggressive like some of the other machines. I do wish they had the black rims in 2019. Mine would look good black or a dark gunmetal with the bronze color body panels. It handles really well to me also.
A brute force 750 vs KQ 750 would be a good video
How does it compare to the Brute Force ?
If they only made either one of these in a 2up with longer chassis, I would be sold.
We are surprised how many people ask for a 2 up from the Japanese manufacturers .
I figure It's a Liability and Safety issue for the Big 4 Japanese Manufacturers.
Last year a Honda 1 up ATV passed me with 2 Hunters during the Utah Deer hunt.
I was also hunting and on foot.
It was still dark and they hit a large rock on a moderate slope and went over backwards.
Only 20' in front of me I saw that machine land on top of Both hunters with their guns, gear etc.
It was on an incline and they were unable to get out from underneath the Honda with the weight of the machine and the gear on the racks.
The hunter on the back also had the operator on top of him along with the machine.
I had a lot of adrenaline and was able to get the machine off them both.
Guns, equipment and everything was scattered all all over the place.
Both had head injuries along with bumps and bruises. (No helmets)
After seeing that, I can see where riding 2 up can be very dangerous. I would never want to go over backwards with my wife on the quad with me being the operator.
Just say'in.
Looking for a 2022 KQ 750. Right now hard to find!
Could you please do a Suzuki Ozark 250 review?
Unfortunately, we don't think Suzuki makes that unit anymore. Too bad. They should have kept it around. We tried to test it for 3 or 4 years. Sorry.

What is the biggest size tries you can put on the 500?
I really think you guys should test a Suzuki Kingquad 400 ASI
Can you tell me the carbutant consumption for KQ500 and KQ750?
We didn't measure it and Suxuki's PR department basically nonexistent at this point as far as we can tell. Your best bet would be to contact Suzuki customer service and ask them if they can get that info for you.
You mentioned roll because of tires, what tire, 25 inch would work best for this 750
Most premium tires would be better. Gbc dirt commander, Maxxis big horn, We are also about to try the Kenda bearclaw EVO. They seem promising but we will see.

2 quick questions. Where is the air intake located, and how deep can it go without snorkel risers
Don’t go over the rear rack and you’ll be fine
What do you think of the brute force 750
Good machine. We hear a lot of people saying they would like to see Yamaha or Suzuki come out with a more powerful V-Twin machine. Sometimes we think they have forgotten about the Kawasaki. We wish Kawasaki would update the chassis though with a slightly wider stance and more suspension travel. The motor in a Kawasaki is all almost anyone would ever need. Of course, there are mud guys out there who would always want more. We reviewed the Brute Force 750 a few years back when they overhauled the model.

Any possibility of CFMOTO reviews? I really appreciate the technical data of changes down to the millimeter, no dealer sales idiot would know anything about the bike other then him reading off the website to you. I want that hardcore engineering data and design as a customer. I want to feel the brakes, chassis flex, suspension tuning, etc and know what was updated year to year. Thanks for the technical insight in all the videos you do. C force, z force and u force would be a great addition, the brand overall is very very under appreciated, very well built units from a engineering standpoint.
Thanks so much for the positive feedback. We would definitely be interested in trying some ATVs from CFMOTO, side by sides on our sister Channel. Perhaps we need to reach out to them.We put a lot of work into understanding and laying all the technical information because we know it's important to the serious buyer or enthusiast. We are glad you appreciate the effort.
ATVonDemand I just took a zforce 500 out to Hatfield-McCoy for a serious rip and beating, I’ve been threw the vehicle front to rear and I gotta say it’s very under-estimated. There heavier then there competition but very well built and extremely strong. The tech and engineering put into there equipment is up on the level of Yamaha and Honda, with the value beating even Polaris’s price point (though it’s junk). I think you’d be impressed if you got your hands on them. The only flaw I could find is the tires they come with are hard as a rock, I’m talking 0 psi in it and you couldn’t tell. It wouldn’t flatten out what so ever or break the bead off, so ride quality will feel like crap but a good set of tires and your good. Clutching, suspension, engine, brakes, even down to fit an finish feels top notch. Nothing feels cheap, finally a china product worth talking about. I’m a fan, and I’m not an easy guy to please at all..l like it better then my Honda rubicon honestly, it feels more structurally sound then the #1 reliability focused manufacture on the planet. Keep it up, looking forward to more!

The Japanese manufacturers stopped progressing around the introduction of EFI. It sucks because none of them besides maybe the brute with some mods can even turn tires big enough to fill in the ruts left by today's big bore Can Ams and Polaris's. Fact is if you show up to a big ride with a Japanese bike you are sheep in a den of wolves.
You dont need that big tyres even IF ur working in The woods
Drennan Rutherford I’ve watched a king quad 700 on 29.5 ol1s keep up and even do better in some mud than a highlifter 850 on the stock 29.5 ol2s just because the KQ is little lighter than the Polaris driven buy the same guy!
You are exactly right. I had a KQ 700 with 27’s, it had plenty of power for me and I went the same places the big boys would go but when it’s balls to the wall and no stopping up in Windrock OHV trails in Tennessee you can’t keep up with even can am 650 or any of the 850’s. You get smoked. I drove my buddy’s 2019 Sportsman 850 recently and dang it’s so fast and powerful, it’s a huge change in performance.
You're right but I also show up to these rides on a 250cc TriZ 3 wheeler and hang with them on the trails. Obviously I can't hit those big holes but it's all about the correct line. There's always a bigger machines. It's all about having fun!

Price tag on 750
2018 750 kingquad pricetag
That automatic CVT bullshit is a deal-breaker for me. I would love to have the 750 because it has 50 horsepower but I'll have to go get a Honda Rubicon wity a 5 speed . I'm sorry. I just have got to have my manual transmission. And I would also buy a Yamaha Raptor 700 because it has a manual clutch and it's fast. But I just cannot deal with that CVT automatic junk. I do not like automatic transmissions
Another thing when it comes to price on these. You can get a Sportsman 570 for thousands cheaper. Then you can spend around 600 to 700 dollars on an ecu tune, exhaust and clutch kit. You will then be putting out more power than the 750 while saving thousands of dollars. But one thing you wont have is the Suzuki build quality. I bet the Suzuki would have more top end still but I bet the modded 570 would accelerate faster.

If the Suzuki is more robust would it be more reliable in the long run once you start hopping it up? So much to ponder. We have to agree, the price of that 570 out of the box or the Can-Am 570 for that matter are putting the squeeze on the Japanese manufacturers.
@@ATVonDemand ....Yes the build quality for sure is factor. But if you do a stage 3 tune on the 570 with exhaust your right at the same numbers the 750 would have with a HMF and optimizer. However in one aspect the mods actually helps the Polaris with holding up as with the ecu tune it makes the fan come on sooner and helps decrease running operation temps. The 570 is a very detuned motor from the factory and there are hundreds of guys out there running these tunes that love them and have no issues. I own both a Polaris and a Japanese machine so I know the differences between the manufactures as I try to do most my own maintenance and work. I actually love the 750 Kingquads and want one. I just think think its an interesting discussion on what you can get for your money.
Is the rider a kid by chance lol 😂
No, why do you ask?
@@ATVonDemand was going a tad slow threw a few spot thought it was funny cause my buddie don’t drive his like that ahah I don’t honeslty think his front tires touch the ground when he coming out of a corner on his king quad ahha good machines tho
I have a 2013 axi power steering
The power steering is useless. When you need power steering, as in when your stopped or in a tight spot and trying to turn around you get NO POWER STEERING.
But when your moving you get all the power steering you don’t need.
Japanese quads have useless power steering
Both Can Am and Polaris have finger tip super easy real power steering
The suspension is jarring and make the bike unruly in rough terrain.
Other than the useless power steering the rest of the bike has been flawless...
But 1000.00 for power steering that is useless unless your moving is a real rip-off
Your obviously not using it as working bike and are likely a weekend warrior from the city
@@snakeplisken4119
Bud if you think the power steering does anything at all besides cost a lot your living in a dream world
Try a Can Am or a Polaris product that actually has power steering.

Financed over 5 years......what? If you need to finance this you shouldn’t have one and Suzuki needs a wake up.
We do believe Suzuki should release a price point Focus the machine to compete against the Polaris 570, Kodiak 450, Outlander 570, Etc. We tend to agree that people would be doing themselves and the market more good if they purchased machines they could afford to buy with cash however the entire industry is being held up now by machines that cost $20,000 to $25,000 that very few people can actually afford to purchase. For what it is worth, every time we are face to face with a manufacturer at a press event we can pretty much guarantee you that we are advocating for them to build more affordable machines. ATVs do not have to be huge or complex to be good. However part of that complexity is coming from a federal government that wants to get rid of airplanes in this constantly requiring these machines run cleaner and cleaner. Sorry for going in so many directions but it's kind of a complicated subject. Bring back 2 Strokes.
ATVonDemand you’re absolutely correct. This is a game that is going on in both the automotive and recreational industries: make units that are so expensive you cant afford them except to finance them and so complex that you don’t dare keep them off warranty. I also agree this ever-moving of ground of fuel efficiency is just ruining these products. I purchased a new Honda CRF250L last year (cash). It barely had enough power to be streetable due to its tuning for efficiency and high gearing. 6th gear was completely useless on the road unless you were going down hill. You pretty much have to drop another $3000 on a $6000 bike to get the performance you should get by adding different exhaust, fuel mapping etc.
The price and of things like cars and student loans are going to cause the next crash, mark my words. People financing ATVs is insane an just more proof people may not have learned as much as we hoped for the last crash.
there are affordable machines, like the bruteforce 300 (aka kymco mxu 300) but no one buy it.
I'm pretty sure it's a very fun machine tho.
I have an Ace900SP and a kymco mxu150 (yes, 150cc) and in thight spots i have as much fun throwing my super lightweight atv as riding provincial trails in my SP. It's a different fun but still as fun. you need to do with what you have instead of trying to tame the power.
Double R,come on man that's harsh
Derrick Kimsey which part?
Just a 300cc deference
Pug in play ecu with mods defo help them quads looks not fast for a 750cc very big lol a 500cc should not keep up with a 750 if so why buy bigger engine quad lol
Hello first btw

Too bad they are so ugly , except for the side by side market , quads have fallen big time.
Other than the lack of options in the sport Market, the quad Market is doing pretty well.

Us Can Am owners are siting her laughing
Then you will probably enjoy our Outlander 1000 review coming in about a week.
We are laughing about your 5th belt that you had to replace😂😂
@@BarackObama-yc1ey suzuki belt or can am belt ?
@@clutchitup8565 canned ham belt. Lol. I just met a couple of people who bought the 570 can am, one an Outlander, the other got the mudding one. I will find out how they work soon enough riding with them.
Yeah yeah and we all will be laughing when your junk is broke down like most all the 850 and 1000 can am do see it all time
This guys logic comparing same thing but one has more hp hmm wonder which wins
This video is about helping people pick the right machine for them based upon their budget and needs. It is not about picking a winner. Like you said, it's obvious which one is going to be faster but by how much. Congratulations, after 10,000 views you were the first person to leave a snarky comment on this video.
That would depend on what the owner uses it for. Some people do low speed utility work with their ATVs and may not have the space or desire to run one at full speed. Regardless of what the ATV is doing, the 750 will burn more gas, generate more heat and cost more to maintain its DOHC engine. The 500 has the same heavy duty chassis, towing capacity and Diff lock as the 750. For some buyers, the 500 makes more sense.
