I own a 19 FSI. Love the bike. Trail ride yes you feel the solid rear axle. Power lot's as you can pick the gear. Road use. 85kph or 55mph. Fuel economy is good. Plowing snow work's very well. I have some things that could be better but that is my opinion. But overall it is a ATV I would recommend.
@@RK-ds7im speedo lies. Mine will say 93 94 but I GPS it. Now I have gone to a taller tire now 26in and that brings in my top end for speed. But wow sucks the power down on top end. Still like the bike cause it works well in bottom. No need for 1000 but would be fun lol
Suzuki builds nice stuff. My 03 Eiger that I bought last year (Known for bad flywheels, though the previous owner replaced mine) has been great. It's still basically the same thing as yours but carbureted with an analog gauge. I got mine with 1160 miles, plow and winch for $2,050 and it still looks almost as good as new. The Eigers are a relatively unknown and hidden gem, probably due to the odd name, if you can find a clean one. I'd love to have bought a new machine but they are all so darn expensive. Add winch, plow, taxes and the dealer wants like $10K out the door.
I have a 2018 Asi with almost 2000 primarily street miles. Yes STREET! Legal to ride on the street in my town. I basically ride it like a motorcycle. The machine been 100% reliable even in Sub-Zero weather. The only thing I don't like about this machine is the fact that all my friends wanna ride it! Everyone that rides it is so surprised by how mighty the little motor is. I really should make some vids riding around town for UA-cam. I would have gotten the manual foot shift but as it is the CVT is such a pleasure in traffic. Up to 40 miles per hour I can literally outrun my friends 2015 Chevrolet Z-71. I have had her up to 62 mph which I don't encourage on such a short wheel base machine but I had too see top speed so you don't have too. I really enjoy the fact that girls really love the machine. When I let them ride it on my other bud's dirt bike track he designed on his own property I can't get them off it! The smooth power delivery and auto transmission is really easy for first time riders to blast around on. The motor was originally designed for the Suzuki DR350 dual sport bike and makes massive midrange and has a nice little throaty wail that the chicks love. It's a very fun machine and nothing against the Honda Rancher but you'd be surprised if you rode this back to back against the Honda. Buy the Honda if you want a work machine buy the KQ 400 if you want a dirt bike on 4 wheels!
I really enjoy all that my 400 fsi can do. Have about 200 miles on it. I’ve been Doing lots of various jobs around the property. I can only wait to see how it plows snow now. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the video!!
Just added 26 11 to rear and 26 9 to front. Work's well but I found the motor lugged more on road running. Off road and mud. I think to stick with 25s. More to come as I just added today
im gettin an 09 foot shift one from a friend i grew up with i should be gettin it by the end of the summer early fall at the latest im lookin forward to gettin it
@@jbell1127 lol that's the funny thing about it it didnt need a carb cleaning i do occasionally run a bit of 2 stroke oil in it to keep things clean or mixed gas never hurt it a bit ive done that with other machines in the past
@@jbell1127 also the bad thing about it is it's very tippy ya gotta watch goin sideways on a hill or if ya get it at an angle it'll tip over very easy if ya dont watch but otherwise it's a very good machine
"Almost 900 miles"😄.... that's not even run in yet, we've put 12,000 miles on our Fsi 400 in 4 years! Brakes need doing up otherwise it's still running fine
Yeah I just noticed that tool kit has a screwdriver and something for the rim and then something else in there that I didn't recognize but what does that even used for?@@jbell1127
Does the FSI option allow you to “engine brake” easier going down hills? Also can you say leave it in first gear to get more torque than the ASI version? My primary use will be carrying loads in and out of the woods for hunting and cutting firewood. I have no interest in speed. With all that in mind should I get FSI or ASI? What are the advantages of each? Thanks!
Hello great video! I'm curious how much horsepower does the 400 put out? I'm unable to find the numbers anywhere on the Suzuki website or even on the internet.
@@jbell1127 Wow that's really really impressive!! And being so light weight as well! I'm happily surprised by the horsepower number! I'm comparing the king quad with the Kodiak 450. That's supposed to have 26hp. Do you have any experience with the Kodiak 450?
Didn't know these came with a 5speed, that is awesome! I wish they would at least update the plastics. Edit: And while updating the plastics add in more molded storage solutions.
@@jbell1127 even though hondas 1st two gears are geared low, having high and low on the kingquad is huge. It would really come down to who had the best price at the dealer.
Yes for sure, The Drive Ratio for First Gear in Low Range for the KingQuad 400 FSi is 2.759. It has no problem with torque in this mode and never runs out of power!
The Power is incredible compared to carbureted ATVs. Ride comfort is great as well with still keeping a very sporty feel. I ride 150 Miles on some days comfortably.
You're quite the salesman. I just may buy one of these.

What is that thing called to the left side of the battery?
The Tool Kit?

Top speed?
Check out this. Check out that. I like my 400 but I don't check out anything. I just ride it.
👍

The FSI engine brakes very well with any gear that it is in!
Can anyone tell me where I can find the engine serial number
Hello great video! I'm curious how much horsepower does the 400 put out? I'm unable to find the numbers anywhere on the Suzuki website or even on the internet.
I believe its around 42 with the fuel injection. It’s faster than my Arctic Cat 500

Can someone tell me where to find the vin on a 2014 king quad 400? Just got one new to this
Should be on the frame rail going down to the rear left tire. Under the fender.
I want either this or a honda rancher with a footshift.. these seem like the only 2 options for footshift.
Can't go Wrong with getting a KingQuad!

That Honda model you are referring to is geared much like the discontinued Suzuki Ozark, which was the KingQuads little brother!
@@jbell1127 my house in so cali is in escrow now and have my house in TN lined up, definately startin to look at an atv.
Hows the power for a 400series?? I looked at a couple the other day and liked the size of the 400 over the 750 but is it decent power/ride comfort??
The Power is incredible compared to carbureted ATVs. Ride comfort is great as well with still keeping a very sporty feel. I ride 150 Miles on some days comfortably.
No diff lock?
Only the rear
