I bought my 2007 KingQuad 700 brand new and it’s been an excellent ATV. I’m now looking into buying the new 750 KingQuad. I highly recommend this ATV to anyone.
i have a 2015 Kingquad 500. Flawless engine and machine thus far with 205 miles on it. have been riding a kawasaki praire 650 and a 2015 Polaris Sportsman and the Suzuki is head and shoulders above them both. The kawasaki is a bit older of course but a fantastic machine nonetheless, though it is heavy and a task to maneuver on trails where the Polaris is trail friendly and fun with the Suzuki being superior tackling the trails with confidence where as the Polaris just seems to be at their mercy. Suzuki is light and manueverable, standard steering I opted out of the power steering afraid of an artificial feel. I rode for 4 hours Saturday and had some fatigue on some nasty trails and climbing, though I am 37 and in better shape than most, very happy overall with Suzuki, affordable and reliable, I am a Honda guy but for the price Suzuki better deal with same features and reliability. Oh, also my gf and i went for a 50 mile ride two weeks ago and my suzuki used 2/6 gas tank and hers used 4/6 on her Polaris sportsman. she weighs 110 and I weigh 182.
Walter White Suzuki and Yamaha are tops when it comes to all aspects : comfort , power, speed, maneuverability and most importantly reliability .. The KQ is a jack of all trades atv
Avery, great updates on the newest King! Purchased my 2008 750 after riding with my father-in-law on his 2005 700cc. Having sold my Kingquad (regret that)with over 5000 miles and no major issues, will still proclaim there's not a better all around atv out there.
Agreed...why did they get rid of the steering wheel head light. I have a 2013 500axi Kingquad and I love it. I have had zero problems out of it but I wish it had a steering wheel head light. Those two headlights aren't bright enough. Suzuki should put a steering wheel light on all their atvs. .....
I had a 93 kingquad and I loved it! Got it used and never had a bit of troubles, I loved it so much bought a 2007 Kingquad 700 I loved that just as much for the first few months then the problems started. I had it eight years and only put 900 miles on it since more times then not it would never start. Had to replace battery every few months is it never went more then three days not being started. Took it it WV to trail ride ran it one day next day wouldn't start, charged the battery got 10-15 miles down the trail and it died had to be towed back charged battery again and died on trail spent the rest of the 4 days I was there in the cabin. New battery a few weeks before trip as well. Had the magneto replaced 4 times at my expense first time was 2 months after purchasing it. I do miss it, I liked the seat height. I went Can-Am and other then it sits so tall I have not looked back once. Its nice to have a machine that starts when I press the start button. Suzuki changed the whole charging and electrical system in 2008 for the Kingquads so there had to be an issue. I'm sure the new ones are great but the one bad experience I would never buy another Suzuki again.
It's called the voltage regulator, very common problem on the 700s. You would think you'd research the subject after replacing the battery several times. I would never consider the King Quad unreliable, it's among the more reliable machines. Mine is 7 years old and has over 8,000 miles and runs like new. It has quirks but never had serious problems like I see several Polaris/Can-Am having. I can never get myself to trade it in, all the other machines seem to have flaws the King doesn't have.
i have a 2008 king quad 750 that often has electric problems and my buddy has a 2015 king quad 750 that does the the battery starter relay prefers perfectly clean non corroded terminals. We just always clean the terminals then they work forever if u get terminal cleaner and protector
I just bought king quad 400 for my 16 year old daughter and left hand brake squeezes all the way down to the grip. I tried to adjust the butterfly in the rear the upper one and cannot find the sweet spot because it continues to drag. Is the left break many for parking brake because when I squeeze it is usually goes all the way to the grip because the butterfly adjustment will not allow me to have a firm brake light the one on the right hand side.
Wish they would bring back the 3 speed sub transmission that was on the original King quad instead of that cvt crap those old 300 King quads where unstoppable in super low
Lots of things claimed to be new and only offered by Suzuki like reverse over ride. I'm a little lost by that claim as reverse over ride and other first and only are offered by other manufactures and have been for over a decade. Not saying a King isn't a great quad but the information here is skewed.
When comparing the kq and the grizzly … the king quad is great if your a smaller guy. I found it to small for myself being 6’3 … the grizzly felt much bigger for me. The kodiak is more of a comparison then the grizzly imo
I really like the KingQuad 750 for sure, just one big problem Suzuki does not have a 2 up one yet hint,hint. That's why I have Arctic Cat 650 H1 TRV , although Arctic Cat and Suzuki are somewhat cousins.
@@snakeplisken4119 Not really, Arctic Cat used to use Suzuki engines in some of their earlier model ATV's. I don't have the Arctic Cat 650 anymore. Real long story, but it turned out it was technically stolen. Dealership where I bought it from ended up buying it back from me. I have a Polaris Sportsman 500 HO EFI LE Touring 4x4 now. I also have a Suzuki Eiger 400 4x4 I've owned since 2013, it's a good machine also, just made for one rider though.
I have a 2014 Kingquad 750 I love the power and torque it has. I ride it a good bit never had any issues with it. I have never got stuck and have pulled many of these bigger quads everyone says will beat all of the small machines. And first hand that's a lie of everytime I have went for rides can ams and Polaris are the two types I'm always pulling out of mud holes and shit. I just can't believe they took off the middle headlight on the 2016s like why did they do that?
+Chris Crowder My '07 Grizzly has no "reverse override" the override is for forward operating in "diff lock" mode. The Yamaha is easy enough to eliminate reverse override by disconnecting the reverse indicator switch.
Great machines. KQs are equipped with a manual differential lock, independent front and rear brakes(for steep hills), and the CVTs have a centrifugal clutch before the primary clutch, which protects the drive belt. King Quads and Grizzlies feature roller bearings on the large end of the connecting rods along with ball bearings on the crankshaft. All features that Can-am doesn't offer. King Quads and Grizzlies are reportedly the most reliable ATVs available, but Grizzlies are notorious for overheating. Polaris are powerful machines, but when backing off the throttle at speed the engine brake practically throws the rider over the handlebars. Polaris, Arctic Cat, and Can-am have less than stellar reliability reviews. Can-am fanboys will say Can-ams are so much more powerful than the rest, but all that means is that Can-am riders will be the first to get stuck in the mudholes. The missus and I have had our KQs 750AXi/EPS for three years now and neither machine has had an issue. The lower center of gravity combined with the smoothest engine in it's class, KQs are extremely comfortable to ride all day long. You will not need to modify your King Quad in any way unless you plan on spending a LOT of time in muddy water, in which case you may want to upgrade the stock tires with Zillas or Outlaws. Be prepared for a much stiffer ride once you change tires. Do NOT change the tire size, utilize the original rims for optimum performance in all areas in the field. I'm still running on the stock tires and have no desire to replace them until they are worn down. The machines are that good.
Bite your tongue The 66 Leadfoot on stellar reliability reviews lol, you do realize that Suzuki and Arctic Cat are somewhat cousins don't you? The AC H1 designed was based off the Suzuki engine and Suzuki provided engines for Arctic Cat there for awhile along with Kawasaki engines. My Suzuki Eiger 400 and the Arctic Cat 400 are the same engine on certain models back early mid 2000's.
the king is a good quad but whoever is in charge shud really think about making some changes. it's the basically been unchanged since 2005. there's so much hidden performance they need to bring out in them to compare with the performance of the other brands. because with a few mods they can run with the higher cc quads flat land or in the muck. I personally ride a 05 king 700 with a lift 27" tires programmer and cluthed with Coop mod and it will hang and beat my friends Polaris and canam 800s with similar equipment
So if you had to choose between the King Quad 750, the Grizzly 700, and the Brute Force 750, which would you spend your money on? Sorry, Honda, Polaris, and Can Am are not options for me. Help me decide.
Ryan simpson. Wells what did you get. I would go sit on all three brands. The grizzly makes me sit back to far, the brute force handle bars are to low and the seat sits high, weird on my wrist. king quad fits me the best out of all the three by far. But I ended up buying a low mile 05 Polaris mv700. the 02 to 08 Polaris are well built, just a little under powered. My reasoning for buying the 05' Polaris was seat comfort-suspension. I owned a 05 700 king quad, but sold it in hard times and bought a 08 Yamaha that is great for shorter rides, but hurts my back because I sit to far back, my wife has 15' 850 Polaris touring that is awesome for her.
Suzuki has updated the KingQuad further than this 2016 model, check out our in-depth review of the 2019 KingQuad at this link: th-cam.com/video/vYPJKIR_wxI/w-d-xo.html
+FISHBREATHH they do?? my mom's has that on demand 4 wheel drive on her polaris, i don't recall if hers has that power reverse tho,, hmmmmm ?? you have a polaris?? good atv's almost got one, we got a great deal on our can am, thanks for replying
Black painted wheels are of poor quality paint finish. Undercoat seen in crevices and evidence of spraying over dust. Speak to someone at the factory, letting a top vehicle down. Somehow this is missing quality control and getting out to the public.
Nice bike. But the grizzly looks sexier. Especially with the handlebar mounted Headlight. The optional Rear bumper on that Suzuki is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. Looks like they designed it at 4pm on a Friday. .
Suzuki if you're listening...stop making that stupid 'gated' shifter, it's frustrating to use. Bring back the handle bar mounted headlamp. The display is up there anyway, put a headlamp back up there. Flatten out the running boards, that stupid raised peg is uncomfortable. They are unstable and contributes to ankle injuries. Put some actual storage in the machine. The fender storage is nice but the 'afterthought' looking bread box on the back is proof that someone needs to be fired. Finally, apply some composites to the front and rear racks. Steel racks are great to tie on to but more objects fall through them than don't.
The raised pegs above the flat floor boards permit fore and aft leaning while traversing steep grades, I actually like that feature. Similar to dirt bike trail riding, also allows you to lean way outward to prevent side tip in some deep holes, assists in secure foot grip, I didn’t have any comfort issues but each ride their own way. I have a 2014 KQ 500 Axi and purchased centre head light from the 750 model and installed it, as well as the upgraded side panel to access dipstick. I agree they should have kept it.
all you Suzuki fans if y'all even need any help finding out what's going on this you Suzuki I know a lot about then so y'all could sub to me an let me know yalls problems

when are they going to make available like you showed us the rear bumper & hitch KingQuad 500/750 Rear Bumper

Nice looking quad. I don’t needs handle bar headlight it’s useless when you load up the front rack with a couple front quarters of moose
Ya but unless your taking more than one a fall how often is it gonna be on the rack .... A day maybe two

Nice machine
How is the power on the king quad
Excellent bottom to top. Not arm stretching like the can ams or Polaris big twins. But very tractable and adequate.
How come the affordable 250-350cc 4x2 quads have gone away?
vpsaline because no one wants a low power 2wd. Those to combinations are the stupidest possible.
he probably wants something for his kid. Although 4x4 should be mandatory on all four wheelers
We hunt with an old 230cc 4x2 Honda and it does just fine hauling deer out of the woods.
Will Suzuki make an equivalent of the Polaris Ace?
So if you had to choose between the King Quad 750, the Grizzly 700, and the Brute Force 750, which would you spend your money on?

I have never had a suzki that works. And my Honda has the switch " only for suzki"
can ams have had the reverse override for years
At that price should have maxis tyres Ali wheels and better ground clearance
Used to work under Avery back in the day at MSM. Knowledgeable as they come. A tad egotistical but all around ok dude.
And now it looks like a Kymco.
