Finally getting my utility quad

[firefighterjosh]

Well after looking aroround pricing stuff out I am finally getting a utility quad. Looked from Bombs 800s to Kawies 700s and I ended up with a King Quad 700.

Wanted a Big Bore- Bomb 800 - KQ 700, ac 700, Kawie 700

I wanted EFI- who has it? - Bomb 800, KQ 700, AC 700.

Wanted IRS - All have it but Kawie

Wanted a price under 7k- AC and BOMB are out
Lots of other things too but too much crap to list that I found.

AC seemed nicer but it is heavier, slower and I guess doesn't handle quit the same.

KQ - I feel more comfortable on it. Same as the AC 700 but lighter, faster, and still has a good 4wd. the only real down fall is the crappy stock airfilter. O well I am gettin a twin air for it.

Biggest thing price! I got a KQ that is almost like a AC for $1,200 cheaper. No one will go down on the AC but the KQ they deal well.


Can't wait I get it tues or Weds. Just in time for a thanksgiving weekend ride:D

you should go with the 700kq becuase its such a good machine. i dont like the artic cat becuase they dont make good quality quads they arent known for quads. so i would go with the 700 kq.

Picked it up today rode for about an hour and I love it. Good power smooth riding. I did notice the twitchy front end but it really isn't that bad. I all ready have some big plans for it but the funds are low right now lol. I tried to upload a pick but my digital camera and now my camera phone will not work

Had to use the camera phone since the digital camera took a fuse on me

Yup, after months and months of looking I had it down to the AC and KQ. I got a good deal on the KQ plus some good benifits for buying it. I love it, can't wait to test its limits and to race it.

Oh really? I didn't know they were that fast. Awesome. Maybe I can beat my buddies 800 Popo. He thinks it is the fastest thing around and he can barley beat a stock 400ex.

yeah they screw

nice i knew you would come around. I cant tell by the pic, but did you get the black one or the green one? I never noticed the twitchy front end when i had the stock tires, the only time i noticed it was when i put my 27" mud tires, and wheelspacers all the way around and i was doing down a hill a little to fast and caught a rut, but it was nothing i could not handle. I hope you like it as much as i like mine.

Go about 10 MPH and slam the front beaks. The bars get about ripped out of your hands when under hard front breaking and turing. But I got ust to it and am going to install a steering stab. I love it. I beat my buddies polaris 800 hehe. It will wheelie too. People say it won't but I did it first day lol. I just got stuck for my first time in some muck. That sucked. BUt I just need some new tires. The rear suck how there cut at an angle

Great choice . I'm sure you're going to love it and get good use out of it . I truely enjoy my Utility quad more than I ever enjoyed any sport quad that I owned . There's just something about being able to go out and hammer on some hard trails with a lot of muck , rocks and trees , that I find fun .

Does your quad have a winch ?? I can't tell from the picture . Definately get some better tires . Stock tires just don't cut it in the mud , no matter what quad they are on . Once you got more aggressive tires , you'll notice a big difference ... it's like putting an exhaust on a sport quad ... it just make's it so much funner !!!!

No winch. Just spent alot of moeny lol can't afford the winch. Even though I could have used one saturday lol. But my plans are....

OMF wheels with Bighorns
winch
Snorkel for CVT and breather tubes. I accualyl call it a mini snorkle cuz I am gunna run it below my plastic just for some extra clearance when riding with buddies. But I also want to race this thing in some GNCC so I gatta keep it a good all around quad.

other then that I am prally be set.

A winch would be the #1 thing on my list . Trust me , one of these days you're gunna bury it so deep that you'll wish you had a winch !!!! Been there and Done that a couple times . :D
