Hey Guys/Girls- Looking for a new/second quad & will keep current one for the family. Currently have a '08 450 Kingquad. This was my first 4wd & only bought this size because my main riding group was all on 450-500 units. Quad was ungraded with a VDI, clutch machining, lighter weights, & 26 Zilla's. I've had no issues with the unit in 2000+km. Not sure if I should just grab a 750 King & set up similarly with clutch machinging, VDI, M109 and call it good as I like the ride/handling of the chassis. Or step it up to a Can Am. I don't do a lot of mud riding, lots of trails & roads. Not a snorkel guy for sure. Another unit I was looking at was the 650 XT, as stock it has +10hp on the King & Brute. Then. when you are there, might as well buy the 800R. On the XT's I think a rad relocate would be a must, as I've seen these things go into limp mode a lot. (possibly due to lazy owners who don't clean rads often.) Losing the majority of the front rack would be a none issue. Feel free to chime in with your .02! Thx in advance!
