I drove the King Quad first What i like the Digital read out the 2/4/Diff lock controls The sposed good EFI gas mileage [30MPG?} looks wise everything -spose to have strong Axel's and good rear sway bars I drove it around dealers vacant lot basically a 1/2 block long hard pack gravel and weeds future building site for the dealers my impressions WOW Smooth engine and Fast repeat- Fas-t if the speedo is to believed i gave the Wood from dead stop and with 2/3 of that 1/2 block -i let off gas looked down speedo said 51? my kodiak would have took 3 times that to hit 51 only thing i did not like rev limited kicks in to easy in Forward Diff lock and i think you have to hold it in ? Second best IMHO was the Grizz like abig Kodiak duh? 3rd Twin Peak's whining engines are not my thing this is just my personal deal and it felt the slowest of the 3 i drove today in that vacant lot Last edited on Fri Aug 19th, 2005 10:17 pm by roosterado9 |

I rode an 800 Outty today. Roost, all I can say is to try one before you buy anything......it is totally unbelievable! I was riding some small whoops on an old railroad grade, figured I was going pretty fast, probably about 50. I looked down at the speedo and I was doing 70. That is the smoothest most powerful thing you can imagine. Actually you can't imagine, you have to ride one.......

Maybe they say the firn rear sway bars make this IRS handle like a solid axle and there is already a "Quiet" Performance pipe and a Power Chip for the King Quad[accordding to the Tech-and tech also says clutching is available. this Guy about= 30 = seemed to know his stuff now its 600$ extra to extend warranty to 4 yrs and its 4.9% interest for 24 months i am half sold on this machine but is the price $7200 out the door good?

Roost think about this. Your already talking piping and chipping the King. That would put you close to the price of the Outty. For about a grand more than the stock King Quad you can have performance that will stomp that King (sorry survey guy) even after you make the mods and will probably be at about the same money only with a stock bike. That warranty you are about to buy may be voided by installing a chip or even the pipe. Forget the power of the 800. Check it out for the ride and handling and stability and see what you think. Oh hell you can't forget the power. That thing demands respect! I'm not trying to sway your decision and the Suzuki is a nice bike but you really should try out the 800 outty........you will be blown away. Guaranteed! I was!!

but I can't pick one up Friday with $39 month for 24 months[minimun}gives me time to sell the Kodiak[-next Spring] and ride a big Bore Labor Day weekend and all Fall grrrrrrrr i final thought that big single is smooth silky smooth and no CVT noise that i noticed ?What do You think HP is honest on the King Quad? And this Mechanic seems to be dialed in on the aftermarket tweaks just things to consider patience wait till next Spring ? thats the smart thing to do Smiles lol

My guess is about 43-45 hp. The Prairie 700 is a bit faster and that has 46hp. Just an educated guess though. Others known are the Brute Force 750 @ 51hp and the 800 Outlander @ 62hp........... BTW just so you are aware of the recalls on the King http://aurorawheelers.com/view_topic.php?id=152&forum_id=10&jump_to=3513#p3513 Last edited on Sat Aug 20th, 2005 10:45 am by outlandish ____________________ ***AWF Now Makes Custom Decals *** |

From the pulls I have attended nothing out pulls the Kawie 700 prairie, not even the 800 Bomb. But then again you have the 700 with SRA which will pull better than IRS. This is stock to stock machines.

Finally i am off to 2 Suzuki dealers my local Guy i got the kodiak from and 1 in St Cloud. The more i think about the more i like the fact that in the small town of Glencoe yesterday the ATV saleman was also the mechanic i did not have to go thru 3 people for technicals ?'s like what machines are breaking axles?whats the gas mileage ect Another Factor my Kodiak has never been in the shop [1800 miles] for me to bring a wheeler into the shop means bringing it in on the weekend and picking it up the next weekend -2 weekends shot basically]now we can have a spare rig for trail/trips breakdowns-because All of our riding is trips. But hopefully if i go with the King Quad i get the same reliability i have have with my Yamaha - meaning its not a Brand New model -some of the bugs have been worked out ,Feedback Welcome on this ????

For mostly trail with a little mud I would say Kenda Bearclaws 589's ride like bricks Dirt Devils in the 25" size have a pretty shallow tread depth BTW everybody says the Bearclaws are an excellent tire in the snow  ATV Outfitters has some good prices too http://www.atvoutfitters.net/kenda_bearclaw_tires.htm Last edited on Sat Aug 20th, 2005 09:17 pm by outlandish ____________________ ***AWF Now Makes Custom Decals *** |

Well thats different then LOL The Mud Light radials(XTR?) are supposed to be a great tire! The regular Mud Light (deep lug) are a good tire too and the 26" Dirt Devils have the deeper tread but they are kind of heavy too Roost radials kick butt!....don't forget the bighorns (my favorite trail tire)  http://www.maxxis.com/products/atv/product_detail.asp?id=263 Last edited on Sat Aug 20th, 2005 09:51 pm by outlandish ____________________ ***AWF Now Makes Custom Decals *** |
