Hello everyone!

Just bought a 250 (or 280) king quad ( or quadmaster) from 1990.

heres a website from which i bought it. cant get the pics from there so just look from there:

Suzuki Quad Runner 250 4 WD 250 cm³ 1990 - Kiiminki - Mönkijä - Nettimoto

Funny thing, the advertisement says quad master, but second pic says clearly King quad on the side of gas tank.

I will be getting this tomorrow after work, have to go 160 kilometers to get it but hope it will be worth it. Seller says that it is not pretty but mechanically everything works.

What should I do after I get it? Was thinking of course to change all oils. Does this one have different space for gear oil and motor oil, or are they the same?

hello and welcome !!

it looks in great shape, nice find. here's a link for a service manual ... https://www.yousendit.com/download/TEhXQ3Q1Y3k5bEJMWE5Vag

i would change the oil and gas that's in it, top up the front and rear diffs, new plug and air filter ...

let us know how you made out and post some pics ...

Thx, I already downloaded that, found this site after googling service manual for two hours yesterday. After I found your link to the manuals I wanted to be a member :)

Hopefully I can get an oil filter for it before weekend, was meaning to change all oils and test the beast saturday :)

Clean it really good, check all the bolts and suspension parts for wear. Then make sure the frame does not have any defects. This way you do not have to worry about a tie rod end going out at 60mph when you are trail riding. This may be something you can put off until the winter but I would give it a good look over.

Thanx for the advice. Have to get around to it. First things first though, i ordered a winch with fitting kit. Advertisement says king guad -91-02. hopefully it should be plug and play for the winch part. electricals are different story of course, but we installed one to Big bear last winter and it went ok. Of course we had to make all the fittings ourselves for the winch.

Does this atv have an oil cooler?

edit. when looking at this picture: http://image.nettix.fi/extra/bikeimg/1367801_1367900/suzuki-quad-runner-1367877_l_38282873f1448522.jpg

with picture editor and looking below the lights, there is a mesh at the front ( this is the place for winch?) and after that there seems to be a radiator, I believe that is a cooler?

If it is a cooler, it doubtfully has a fan. My usage will be at summer mudding and forest riding at slow speeds, maybe light cargo attached, so would cooling be an issue? Is there a cooling fan kit for these quads at affordable price somewhere :)

And she is home :) She really is lt-4wdx With oil cooler and fan. Eveything works (shifter levers on top of tank tend to be sticky, was thinking of removing the pin), and seems after she warms up, she wont stay running properly. She tends to choke ith full throttle.

What sould be done? clean the carburetor?

So i did the pin removal mod. Now she can go diff lock with low range :)

The carburettor problem still exists. We took it out, opend the top and bottom, cleaned pilot needle jet. And we moved the jet one ring up (so she would get more gas). But alas, problem still exists.

Symptoms: If you push the throttle open fast, she dies and sometimes misfires at exhaust. If you open throttle very very slowly she can go ok. No hesitating at fast rpm. Only close to idle, and you CAN control it with choke, keeping choke close to half closed, she tends to go great.

What should I do?

Also if there are any pictured walkthrough on how to get start at any gear. with this chocking problem it is frustrating changing gear all the time when she dies :(

This thread died...

Well talking to myself then :). Did the start in gear mod by grounding the neutral wire, side effect is that neutral light is on all the time. If anyone has a way to get the neutral light to work like it should AND could start in gear, pleas share your info :)

Opened the carburetor couple of times. We got it working properly by lifting the jet one notch, then closing the pilot screw AND opening it 1 and 1/2 half turns. Hopefully this is now remedied.

Installed bronco 3500 lbs winch too ( on top of the front rack, no other place I ques).

Hoping to get some replys for these two questions...

1. The foot gear shift does sometimes stay at the lower position when changing down. Could this be remedied by oiling the cable? or by installing a helper spring? I´m thinking exhaust spring from snowmobile attached to top of the shifter and onto the frame. So the spring will rest at shifter center position but will tighten when pushing lever down.

2.The winch is mounted on top of the front rak, but this is not optimal place for it. But there just is no room under lights to install it so Im thinkin, if I cut an opening to the mount, which the cable could run STRAIGHT DOWN from the winch. Then I put the roller thing 20 centimeters down from the winch (at the start of plastic bottom shield). and run the winch rope there. so it would go like this:

Winch

_____ front rack

|

| rope

|

-> winch roller, winch rope comes out from here.

Would this be bad for the winch/quad?

      Suzuki king quad 300 idles great but Boggs when you apply throttle
      By 97kingquad
      Okay so I bought this 1997 sazuki king quad from a guy and he had it for a few years. 
      He had it registered and on the trails last year but he said it bogged and backfired when he would try to drive it. so it sat for a year. 
      I bought it for 800 bucks and got it running that night and it ran great for a few days 
      But I parked it the other night and went to start it again and it was really hard to fire up and when I did it was bogging and idling high then low again.
      So I took the carb out and cleaned it (ended up doing it twice because it was still doing the same thing) 
      Now today I have it running slightly better, but it is still like 20% 
      I have been looking it up and trying to figure it out but I can't find the issue, has anyone else had this problem? I'll attach a video of it running and giving some throttle

      Suzuki Quadrunner 250 Adjustments
      By GTX-Racer
      I recently purchased a Suzuki Quadrunner 250.  I am not sure of the year.  I plan on  rebuilding the carburetor and looking to do some maintenance before using it.
       
      I also purchased a Quadrunner 160 and planned on doing the same maintenance.  I have the same question for the 250:
      I am going to change the oil, which is simple enough, but after reading the manual there are many adjustments that are needed when the oil is drained.  Does anyone have any advice on the valve clearance or clutch adjustments?  Both require the oil to be drained and the engine at top-dead-center.  Anything else that I should do while it is in this configuration?
       
      I am unable to find a manual online for the 250.  Does anyone know the valve clearance setpoint?

      2005 Suzuki King Quad C12 code
      By DaDolt
      So, I found myself in the only 5' deep water hole in Moab with the King Quad. Before I could get off it swallowed water at idle and died. The river water was not very clean. I pulled the plug and pumped the water out of it with the starter. I cranked on it and it popped for a second and then was done. Towed it back to the trailer. When I got home I checked the compression and it had none. I have a factory service manual. Disassembled and found the rings stuck in the piston lands. New rings and back together. I try to start it and get a C12 code CKP - crank position sensor. Troubleshoot and find it to be shorted. Installed aftermarket CKP, still get code. Check voltage on new CKP and only get 4.5V, manual calls for 5V minimum. Pulled every connector apart on vehicle and cleaned. Have continuity from CKP sensor side of connector to ECM harness. Install a known good ECM from another 2005 KQ I have. Vehicle fires and I let it run for 10 minutes. Shut it down and put the original ECM in and get a C12 code again and won't fire. Put the known good ECM back in and get C12 and no fire. Tested both ECM's in the other KQ and runs well on both ECM's. Installed a used stator and CKP. Still get a C12 code. Check used stator, 200 ohms and 6.5 V out of the CKP at the ECM harness. Checked ground at ECM harness and it is good. Checked spark with spark plug and without, none. Checked resistance and peak voltage on coil and it is in spec.
      This thing has me baffled. All of the electrical possibilities seem to check out. Might be far fetched, but could the rotor key have sheared when it shut down suddenly when the cylinder filled with water? I know rotary lawn mowers can shear the flywheel key when the blade stops suddenly from a rock or stump. If the key is sheared and the flywheel is out of time by a few degrees could this be giving the C12 code? The voltage output is correct but at the wrong crankshaft position (wrong time).
