After test driving every 4-wheeler that we could lay hands on, we purchased a Suzuki King Quad last year. My son had an older one and although he really liked it, I wanted to make sure that we would all be safe!

My son was right! We have now had the King Quad for a year and it's one of the best investments that we have ever made. It is one of the sturdiest, most stable 4-wheelers that I have been on!

We highly recommend it!

The Suzukis are good machines. They are in the top three in 4 wheel drive ATV makers for me.

I will have to agree I've own 10 of them in the last ten years or so, and my fav is the KQ 700 I've done a ton of mods to it although the powertain is farily stock but the other then that everything else I have tweeked, you got to add on board air and a few other things and you will be so happy you did, I love mine

My husband makes his pumping rounds on a KQ750. His old one was just stolen this last august, and he replaced it with another one. He had 13000 miles on the one that was stolen. When he was considering what to get for a replacement, I told him all I heard the last 4 years, was how he never had the problems other people had who didn't have a KQ, hopefuly this one will be that good also.

We have had our King Quad for 2 years and love it. We haven't had any problems so far. Before, we had a Kodiak and it was always breaking down. So far, so great on the King Quad. We just got tracks for it and now there's no stopping us!

We got a '96 KQ since new. All it's ever needed was gas and oil change.
A Great Machine. If I were to buy a new one,that's what I'd check out first.

Well, I have to also agree on the Suzuki! Here's a pic of my '99 500. Have had it about 5 years now. No problems- changed battery only because it was 8 years old, and switched to synthetic oil about 3 years ago. Did a service last spring, only because I know the valves had never been adjusted, in 2800m. Seat needs to be replaced, sooner than I thought. It was cold out and when I drug my foot across it, while mounting, it cracked. Bummer!

I had the same exact one and it was a great quad, never left me stranded I sold it a few years ago to buy a Vinson, then sold that for the 700 KQ and have never looked back

I'll agree with this. Had a 2001 300 kingquad, Put that thing through he!!, and never once did it let me down. Had to sell it, and its still going. Now I got an old Honda, I dont use it much hauling firewood and Ice fishing is about all the use it gets, its a good machine aswell.

I had a 91 king quad 300. Only trouble I had was brakes and rear bearings from my sons continually crossing creek in winter when it would freeze up at night. I sold it in 2009 and it is still running. Very reliable, but it was getting difficult to find replacement parts for one that old. If I ever get another, the King Quad would be my first choice.
