I had a 2009 Suzuki King Quad 750 and it was the best ATV I’ve ever owned. I’ve own Cam-Am which kept breaking down, Honda which had brake problems, Polaris that would overheat and Kawasaki Brute Force which was as good as the Suzuki. But I loved the balanced power of the Suzuki and overall performance. I wish Suzuki ovule make side by side UTVs.
What's the size of the wheels and tires also offset on the kQ 500? Did you have to adjust the clutch for the bigger tires? I have a 2014 kQ 500 and would like to add that setup to mine.
@@johnwilliams5353 this video was a long time ago, I don't remember what size they are. I'm sorry. No need to do anything to the clutch though. Thanks for watching!
@@johnwilliams5353 if you just want a little more tire I would say stick with 27's not go bigger, and a 12/24" wheel doesn't matter much imo. That just changes how much sidewall you have. You will get a little more clearance and it's nothing crazy that is going to rob w whole bunch of power and start causing more stress on the drive train. Hope that helps!
It just depends on the model that you are looking at for color choices. The 400 comes in green, red, camo, and gray for 23. The 500 comes in red, green, camo, carbon, and blue for 23, as well as the 750. Thanks for watching! You can always check them out at suzuki cycles.com or Extremeopelika.com
Ine is either smi auto or auto and it is standard you only have to build up your speed more gradually to ⚙️ up on mine I do brake-burn circles, not donuts but actually all four wheels turning but not with the front staying in the same circle THE WHOLE THING GOEAS SROUNF THE CIRCLE ANS NAH ALL
The parking brake is automatic one you press it not literally but when your on a hill and stop slow down a bit and press the brake lever, it's easy the brake works kinda like a bike lever gear on one side with the acceleration and the hitch comes as standard with these I pull a 2 car trailer with mine like a trailer than can fir a couple coupe's/sedans AND NAH THE 750 ID BETTER BUT THWYRE SLL GOOD ENOUGH VEHICLES AS THEYRE JAPANESE, HONDAS ARE TOO Basic Unless YOU BUY A SPORT SPEC TYPE OFFROADER I HAVE TOWED A OLD ACURA NSX AND A NOS EWUIPPED 500BHP JAPANESE IMPORT NISSAN PULSAR GTIR NISMO ON THE TWIN TRAILER AND THEY WORK WELL IN ANY GEAR WITH ENOUGH POWER TO TOW EVEN IN LOW GEARS, I REACHED 50 IN SECOND GEAR BEFORE WITH MY SINGLE TRAILER ON IT WITH A "550BHP JAPANESE IMPORT TOYOTA STARLET GLANZA WITH ROLL CAGE NO REAR INTERIOR AND A 10 LITRE REAR TANK OF FUEL IT HAS A K20 ENGINE IN IT AND IVE FITTED A ELECTRIC MOTOR IN THE REAR OF THE STARLET TO IF I BREAK DOWN I JUST HAVE TO TAKE A PANEL OFF SITH MY KEYS AND PULL A CABLE OUT FHEN PLUG IN THE POWER SPINDLE
What do you mean the chassis are huge? The 400 and 500 class are pretty comparable to all of the other brands out there. The 750 is a hair small if you were to compare to the big bores of a Polaris or Can-Am. Appreciate you watching! Cool video of the race you got too!
I owned a 2002 Vinson 500 for 20 years. Biggest problem was consistent squeak to the brakes. I do not understand why they moved the key from the centre gauge cluster to the right side of the machine. To safely turn on your lights you need to come to a stop or take your hand of the throttle, which is also unsafe, or unsafely use your left hand to make an awkward reach around to turn on if you are riding and the sun is setting. I want to buy Suzuki again, but I refuse too with limited updates in 20 years and a very poor key placement. Also, my wife does not like to drive and wants a 2 up machine, so Suzuki you have failed again to develop your lineup to meet a growing demand. Please take the following advice…..design a 2 up 850 - 1000cc, LED lights all around, 11 - 13 inch ground clearance, new gauge package, water seals to the rear storage compartments, increase towing and rack limits, aggressive 30” tires standard, comfortable seats for driver and passenger, options for heated seats and hand grips. You would think the Suzuki design team would be interested in developing the brand or maybe they let them all go back in the 90’s.
L these American names make no sense to a UK rider, such as bumpers-ics bulkbars, a bumper is a solid protective panel not a welded metal bar bud MY ONE IS SEMI AUTO AND THE GEARS ARE JUST A UP AND DOWN SWITCH AND THE AUTO IS JUST GOING BUT IT WORKS WELL AND GOES FAST IN ANY GEAR AT SLL, THERES NO CHOKE ITS AN AUTO ACCELERATING WITHOUT HAVING TO PULL A CHOKE AS ITS A SUZUKI NOT A SILLY AMERICAN FOUR WHEELER= ITS A WUAD NOT A FOUR WHEELER, COMPLETELY DIFFERENT VEHICLES, IM SORRY IF IM SOUNDING SNOBBY ITS JUST IN UK A FOUR WHEELER IS A POLARIS BUGGY TYPE VEHICLE AND ANYTHING LIKE THIS IS JUST A QUADBIKE
Hey Mikica, the design is a little dated for sure. I guess Suzuki is going with the "if it's not broken, don't fix it" mentality. ha Thanks for viewing!
I hear Suzuki has the best fit ‘n finish of all machines, but they could sure use a style update. The instrument pod is like a 1987 Cassio watch. Yamaha seems to have the nicest styling of all the Japanese manufactures.

What wheel and tire setup is on the green 500 like tire brand and rim size and width with offset numbers….thanks
Hey what would the specs be on the wheel and tire set up there a wicked combo. Been trying to find them with no luck.
Yeah, be nice to know
Great video
Thanks!
All these are good for everything

Do you have any recommendations for tire and wheel size for my '14 kQ 500

Woooooo get you some SUZUKI
The rear brakes on 500/750 is a closed wet brake system....not disc.
You are correct, that was me rambling at that point. Thanks! Thanks for watching too!
I did not know they made a 400 semi auto shift. That’s awesome.
@@MrTJohnston thanks for watching!
can you show us how to snorkel it
pretty sure that one does not light up in 4x4. just a flip of a switch saying what position its in
What colors are they available in?

It is ridiculous when a salesman doesn't know about the product they are selling; the 400 doesn't indicate 4wd in the information cluster.

No one has light pod key anymore. It was terrible and got pulled out from twigs etc. Know your stuff before flapping your gills
@@district12tribute28 Never had a twig pull my key out in 20 years, but thanks for your 2 cents
Where's the 300
No 300 Suzuki here.
Really hard to hear descriptions of each wheeler. Talk into the microphone next time. 2 thumbs down 👎 👎
