Great comparison of these two machines. You covered very important issues that really matter. I’m just now looking at ATVs for the first time ever and this video helps me in deciding what’s important to me.
In late 2020 i went shopping to replace my Honda Rubicon with the solid rear axle , i tried them all except the KQ the dealer wouldn't demo it , any way i was shopping for a softer ride and hands down in my opinion the Yamaha Grizzly 700 was the plushest and rides like a Cadillac so i bought 2 , i did end up riding KQ my hunting buddy's son came one trip he had a new KQ nice machine but does not ride as nice as the Grizzly more comparable to the Honda , Great review of the 2 quads i do like that v twin sound also haha , The Japanese quads are the best with Canam coming after them in my experience
Regarding the stiff suspensions. I had a 17’ sportsman 570 as a post deployment gift to myself. I regret selling it. Very soft, Cadillac ride. Loved it and would buy it again, but my buddy would get through so much more muck/bog than my sportsman on his kq500. That sportsman suspension would plow the mud forward rather than roll over it. That said, a simple set of tires (kinda executioners) changes all of that. However, I think if I were buying again, I’d go for the new KQ750, or give a hard look at the new can am 500/700 range.
Tip for the outlander: To get easier access to the oil filter, you can pop a few plastic clips out of the passenger side to get access to the oil filter.
What's your thoughts on the 2018 and newer Yamaha Kodiak 450? As far as derabilaty, longevity, reliability? I think Yamaha is on par with Honda for build quality.
I was in market and comparing Kodiak 700 EPS to Suzuki KingQuad 750 AXi, I went with the Kodiak for one reason, ground clearance. At just under 11 inches, the Kodiak has 3/4 of an inch more of ground clearance.
I have been considering a new kodiak but people say the difference in clutching with the grizzly makes the grizzly much more snappy and it also is supposed to have even better suspension. However, the price difference is considerable. I tend to get anxious about fuel consumption when on a long ride so I wonder if the higher geared (heavier rollers) kodiak would get bettter mpg but on the other hand I have a honda 420 and 520 which do great on gas but get left in the dust by our groups brute force and polaris bikes so the grizzly might keep me closer to the pack over the kodiak. There is always a trade off. :^)
@@spyder000069 Depends what you want out your quad. Do you want a workhouse that is good at slow, technical off-roading, or do you want more of a sport utility? The Grizzly is the latter. The Kodiak is a work first, play later kinda quad.
What's the torque difference? Actual pulling power like pulling a loaded trailer or skidding a log out of the woods. Speed don't mean nothing to me but working it means alot more for my use. Side by side with a tilt bed and a 1500 to 2000 lb hauling capacity would work better for me , I don't play much anymore and all my boys are about your age. I was a mechanic for a Polaris dealer for a couple years about the time the 700 came out. The 500 was the most reliable and most water resistant at the time. But Polaris was the most expensive. The CanAm spyders get the worst fuel mileage so I'm not sure how much riding time you get on their 4-wheelers per tank.
Great comparison , everyone i have ever known who has owned Suzuki King quads has always had nothing bad to say. I'm in the process of trying to decide between the King Quad 750 and Kawasaki Brute Force . The Kawi has quite a bit more power but the Zook should be easier on fuel. I noticed you like the best truck brand as well . I've owned 2 Tacomas 1 Fj Cruiser a Tundra and a 1983 Celica GT
You can’t go wrong with either, I’ve had both. The brute is more fun , the zuk is more comfortable and a little more dependable. If you like power get the Brute it’s like an amusement park ride.
I have over 4000 KMs on my 2002 suzuki not real hard KMs but I have pulled few moose out of the bush and I am still on the origanal Belt, breaks. I have a 1997 300 King that still runs like a top and have seen them with over 55,000 kms. I also have a 2014 750 King and still consider it to be new and no problems with it either.
I like the park brake on the lever not the transmission. Had a sportsman 500ho with the park in the transmission. And it seem to bind if I was on a hill and hard to get out of park when on a hill. I think Suzuki has the better park brake.
I had a 2005 suzuki eiger and you could turn it around on a dime now I have a 2020 CFMOTO and it has a wide turning radius but rides like a Cadillac the suspension works good.
For some reason, there hasn't been a Yamaha or Kawasaki ATV in this class at any dealerships in this area for nearly 2 years now. It has gotten so bad that I asked my salesperson if those companies were even making larger ATVs anymore.
@@4-LOW Yamaha and Kawasaki are still around, Kawasaki makes the brute 750 and 300 for adults only and a lot of sxs. Yamaha still is making their Kodiak 450, the Kodiak 700 and the Grizzly for 4x4's. The raptor and yfz are there along with a handful of sxs. Yamaha is definitely hit the hardest out of all 4 Japanese brands but in my opinion, that Kodiak 700 I have will outlive me.
On the outlander do you have an issue with the motor putting out a lot of heat on your left foot? I had one and the heat it put out drove me nut’s but I’ve never seen anyone else comment on it so I was just wondering if it was a fluke with mine.
Haha. I just bought a 570 outlander. First can am after 4 polaris bikes. The polaris bikes never gave me much trouble but I like how light the can am feels when whipping around tight trails.
Can-Am is far from the best at anything. And when you see people doing anything crazy on one, they've replaced so much with aftermarket upgrades that you can't even say it's better because it was totally redone. Stock vs stock, KQ wind every time. But I also have a 2017 AC that is maintence free too, plusher ride, and we'll built. My Polaris touring is rock solid too, but maintenance is more work, 4 different fluids and like Can-Am, tons of zerks to grease. AC and KQ, zero zerks.
Carlisle 488's are garbage. The puncture easy, wear fast, and are some of the most expensive tires out there. You can get any better tire for far less money.
I have a 2021 750 King Quad AXI and it is the most bulletproof quad I’ve ever owned.
I want one, but I’m not buying new. Prices are crazy. I need one a couple years old.
Nice comparison, the Kingquads are just really nice and well built quads. Look forward to seeing it opened up more after break in.
FINALLY someone comparing these machines. Thank you!
I enjoyed this video comparison. A Grizzly vs King Quad would be awesome
Suzuki will likely outlast the Can Am. Reliability is the most important thing to me.
Great comparison of these two machines. You covered very important issues that really matter. I’m just now looking at ATVs for the first time ever and this video helps me in deciding what’s important to me.
My king quads were bullet proof, just change oils and brakes that’s it. Suzuki reliability for the win.
We just bought two King Quads and so far love em. Nice video

The Grizz is a plush ride for sure.
Yep the KQ750 does ride a lot like a Honda. Build quality is about the same also. I haven't ridden a Grizzly though
@@trailblazeratv6306Yep , also I think the quality across the board on the japanese quads is better
Good comparison, point taken on the size comparison too. Keep up the great work.
Great review. Im trying to decide between the king quad and the kodiak and grizzly.
I cut a hole in plastic of can am side panel to allow for easier filter access. Just have to remove 2 pins from front fender now.
My Jeep has the same engine clatter, and it still catches my ear to this day. Wouldn't trade it for anything though!
Always quality reviews! Dual sports get to the trails and are easier to store for city folk.
I just bought a 2022 kingquad 750. Going to pick it up in an hour.
How is it ?

Yes it's not that difficult you don't have to take the footrest and all the side plastic off like he's saying

Yamaha 450 is junk - might last long time but 26hp is ridiculous

Yamahas have larger tires which gives them .5 inches more .
I've notice the same sound from my king quad. I've been told its actually air intake noise.

Suzuki quality wins every time .
Had an old Suzuki that ticked from day one. For the cc’s it was gutless. I plow snow and the Suzuki couldn’t push same amount.
My old Suzuki work quad is the most reliable quad any in my family has every owned
If you don't ride fast and corner at speed, you can remove the sway bar and the IRS will make a bigger difference.
I had a 2005 suzuki eiger and you could turn it around on a dime now I have a 2020 CFMOTO and it has a wide turning radius but rides like a Cadillac the suspension works good.
I miss my 06 eiger great machine .
GRIZZLY 700 AND CFMOTO 600 AND 800 TWO UP ARE MY FAVORITE MACHINES
Yamaha Kodiak 700 to me is by far the best machine, even the oil change you take off one panel and its right there.

Belt cooling air output dumps in that area. Pushes exhaust heat out is what you're feeling.
Let me save you alot of talking there is no comparison Can am WINS. On everything 💯 and yes I have owned both so I know
Haha. I just bought a 570 outlander. First can am after 4 polaris bikes. The polaris bikes never gave me much trouble but I like how light the can am feels when whipping around tight trails.
Can Am makes fast stuff but my money is on the Suzuki lasting longer. Going 30 years with less repairs wins out over speed for me.
You have to be on drugs - sorry but you can't be serious
Can-Am is far from the best at anything. And when you see people doing anything crazy on one, they've replaced so much with aftermarket upgrades that you can't even say it's better because it was totally redone.

Motorcycles don't have park.
Carlisle 488's are garbage. The puncture easy, wear fast, and are some of the most expensive tires out there. You can get any better tire for far less money.
but the grip is some of the best out there due to the soft rubber everything else ya said about the tire is true
Adding comment before watching - 570 can-am is a freaking junk, suspension is non existent, i rode both, and can-am 4x4 is junk ...again
