Supposed to keep the mud somewhat at bay but if you are turning the front wheels in the pit, I wonder how it is! I rarely do as well, but I decided to take a look and these things are getting pretty nice. I just want a quad with comfort and power steering. I friend got a sportsman and its pretty comfortable. The grizzly was always my favorite but I'm liking the king quad!

Thaanks for sharing i very rarely look at new ones. They are very nice, just looking i kind of agree with you on the King Quad styling.

Never heard of them .Thanks for sharing, they look very nice. Interesting company they make many different rides, UTV,ATV,Mortorcycles, Go Carts, made in USA Dallas/Fortworth Area. https://www.massimomotor.com

Try buying some parts.. Unlikely parts, parts that never break on a jap but do on these, like a gearbox shaft or a back axle, wheel hub.. something like that.

Bugger the styling ! That "styling", with the huge clearance between body work and tyre would flick mud all over you I'm thinking.

Yeah hopefully that is it. It might just be certain revs vibrations make something wiggle and short or loose contacts. Most switches on bikes come apart pretty easy. Just do it over a big tray so you don't loose little balls or springs. Clean the contacts and check the spring is firm and springy.

That filter looks like mine and just fine to me.. but I'd oil those pliers !!

Im finishing up on the Big Bear, just tying up some loose ends and its done. My next project I actually bought first, but the Big Bear seemed like it was more challenging so tackled it first. Now looking the Eiger over im not so Sure. I bought this Suzuki Eiger, almost a year ago, rear wheels locked up, but it ran fairly well. It was so bad that it took 3 Big Guys to get it on my trailer. All the parts were there it ran. He wanted 600.00 and I offered him 400.00. a plus it had the original Kei Hin carb on it. You might ask, why would you want something so ugly, it is often referred to as the ugly sister to the King Quad. I actually like the Eiger I have this one and also a 2007. I have riden them before, they are strong a true beast, I am a fairly Big Guy 6' 3" 195 pds, and it fits me good, but what I really like is the wide foot print and low center of gravity , not so easy to turn over. So I get it home and I don't have 3 big guys to help me get it off my trailer, but I do have a John Deere, hooked it up and drug it off the trailer,an afterthought I should have used a couple of furniture moving dolly's under the rear wheels, oh well. Maybe I didn't ruin the already stuck rear end or transmission I was sure which, I was fairly sure it wasn't locked brake drums, after all that they should have popped free. This is what I have done so far. It's off the trailer I took the drive shaft bolts loose, they were tight, had to get a 3 foot cheater, I thought they were going to break. Got them out and now I can roll it around. I checked the shifter, this is a manual shift Eiger LTF400F. Foot shifter moved didn't seem to be going to any gear, but it was hard to tell, the shifter on the tank which has Low, High, and Reverse did not move. I took it apart and oiled it up good still wouldn't move. Thought the cable was stuck so I unhooked it from the linkage and cable moved freely. Looked at the linkage closely and it was stuck. I tapped it lightly, very lightly , with small hammer and it freed up kind of, but still stiff. I could tell this side cover had been off before and put back very sloppily. This is kind of where i left off except the plastics are all off, you might have seen me working on them in another post. Nothing I have done so far has helped, my next step was to take the side cover off the engine to see what's going on in there, but installing my Granite counter top, numerous honeydews, and the big bear kind of slowed down my progress. I did determine that it wasn't the rear end, that's actually what I thought it was going to be. If anyone has any ideas, they would be appreciated.
