2008 Suzuki KINGQUAD 400 Series Sport Utility ATV - Continued

Proven Features

The KingQuad 400 is available in both semi-automatic five-speed transmission (the KingQuad 400FS) and fully automatic CVT transmission (the KingQuad 400AS) versions. A sub-transmission gives both versions high- and low-range power control, easily selected with the new gate-type shift lever. The automatic KingQuad 400AS also features an advanced engine braking system that reduces free-wheeling to help control speed during steep descents.

Handle bar mounted Push-button electric start, parking brake, on-off switch, light switch

Handle-bar mounted control lever lets the operator easily switch into two-wheel drive mode

Both machines feature selectable four-wheel drive. And a handle-bar mounted control lever lets the operator easily switch into two-wheel drive mode. When in 4WD mode, a torque-sensing limited slip front differential provides maximum traction and light steering effort.

A 376cm3 air-cooled four-stroke engine features a four-valve cylinder head for powerful response and efficient performance. A Keihin 32mm carburetor handles the fuel delivery. And getting power to the wheels is a durable shaft drive system. An oil cooler is mounted high under the front body work, adding cooling support to the vital fluids. Push-button electric start gets the motor running, and a recoil starter is installed as a backup.

Dual-Shock, Straight Axle Rear with 6.7 inches of wheel travel
The KingQuad 400 ATVs ride on a steel tube chassis featuring independent front suspension and a dual-shock swingarm rear suspension setup. This dual-shock rear end is unique in the category and provides the comfort benefits of fully independent suspension. Wheel travel front and rear is 6.7 inches. This suspension action provides a balance of rock-avoiding ground clearance with low center of gravity.

The engine and chassis are guarded by lightweight and strong plastic skid plates. The plastic is sturdy enough to withstand continuous pounding of rocks and other trail hazards, yet it’s slippery so that these obstacles slide below the machine, without grabbing. The full floorboards feature integrated raised footpegs, plus ample drain holes to vent mud and water.

Analog Meter
Both the KingQuad 400FS and AS models feature an analog speedometer, with and odometer and tripmeter helping track travel and maintenance schedules. A fuel gauge is mounted atop the fuel tank for easy viewing.

KingQuad-inspired dual 35W headlights have high and low settings and provide the necessary visibility. A combination taillight and brake light is mounted just below the seat.

Suzuki Camo KingQuad 400FS ATV
Durable cargo racks front and rear provide plenty of working space to add cargo boxes or bags, or all sorts of tools. A four-liter under-seat storage space is protected from the elements. And a trailer hitch mount is standard mounted to the rear end.

To ease winch mounting, a wiring conduit is installed for running winch wires from the sturdy winch mount up front to the below-seat battery. There is also mounting space for a solenoid.

The KingQuad 400FS and 400AS are available in Green, Black (for European market) and Red, and special RealTree Hardwoods HD enhanced camouflage body work is available (in U.S. market).
