Suzuki King Quad clutch problem

[Wolds Alpacas]

Hello - I have just had delivered my 2004 registered King Quad 300.

The gear change is pretty fierce.  Pretty hard to get into gear from neutral on the foot pedal and when I select reverse on the hand lever, it jumps into reverse with a hell of a kick.

I am waiting for a service manual to arrive, but in the meantime, has anyone any suggestions please?

Thank you.

Sounds like it may be idling way to high. Idle rpm should be around 1k or so. Just a guess with out any more information. Get your manual and read up on the specs. It will tell you everything you need to know. Sounds like a thorough tune up is at hand.

Try to adjust the clutch cable. It should be on the lever where the clutch lever is. If that doesn't make any difference. Trace the cable to where it sits on the motor. There should be a arm looking thing on top of the motor. If you closely inspect. The arm should have a point on it and one on the motor. They should be in line. If all else checks out. You need a new clutch

Are you sure of the year and model, 2004 300 King doesn't sound right. The tenth digit on the VIN will tell you the year.

Thank you both for your replies - I am waiting for a manual to arrive.  The bike was registered in Feb 2004, maybe it is a 2002?

I have the manual now but there is no clutch cable - adjusted the setting as per the manual. but it still jerks sometimes into gear and the actual gearchange and getting back to neutral is pretty hard.

Is this an auto-clutch. If so. You will have to replace the clutch. Or adjust it past the manual spec. I had the same problem on my banshee. Manual clutch tho.
