2006 SUZUKI KINGQUAD 700

![]() |
For 2006, the KingQuad will be sporting new black wheels and will also be
available in a new camouflage
paint scheme.
The KingQuad 700 is powered by a single-cylinder liquid-cooled DOHC engine with
a bore-and-stroke of
102mm x 85mm - displacing a class-leading 695cc. The big bore helps this four-stroke
develop abundant
torque, especially in the low- to mid-rpm range.
The fuel-air mixture is delivered efficiently via Suzuki's own fuel-injection
system, which calculates injection
volume using two three-dimensional fuel maps. One tracks injection volume with
intake air pressure and
engine rpm. Another follows injection volume with throttle opening and engine
rpm. The system also tracks
intake air temperature, atmospheric pressure and engine coolant temperature
while tracking through these
fuel maps.
Finally, the KingQuad 700 has the ultimate power-delivery drivetrain and transmission
with three drive
modes available: two-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, and front differential-locked
four-wheel drive. Suzuki
QuadMatic transmission is a continuously variable transmission (CVT), which
uses a durable V-belt and
centrifugal clutch for fully automatic operation. The belt rides in two variable-pitch
pulleys to deliver the
right engine power through changing power needs and ground conditions. An advanced
engine-braking
system helps this automatic transmission control speed, minimizing freewheeling
during downhill runs
and when pulling a load.
Built around a high-tensile steel frame, the KingQuad's suspension is fully
independent. It's designed
to maintain the necessary rigidity of a hard-working utility ATV as well as
the light weight of an easily
manageable recreational four-wheeler. Powerful front and rear brake systems
help smoothly slow the
KingQuad 700 -- the front end features hydraulic brakes with 200mm discs at
each wheel and a 34mm
caliper piston housed in a rigid caliper to ensure firm and reliable braking.
The KingQuad rides on 25-inch, bias-ply Dunlop tires that employ a unique tread
pattern that allows
easy maneuverability and outstanding traction in a wide variety of conditions.
All-new black-painted
pressed-aluminum-alloy wheels feature a durable inner-rolled rim that helps
protect the tires' beads
from rocks and sticks. Dual multi-reflector headlights use 30W halogen bulbs
that provide high- and low-beam operation. An
auxiliary third headlight uses a 40W halogen bulb and is mounted at the handlebar
level so that it turns
with the bars for improved visibility. A compact taillight and brake lamp combination
is mounted at the
back to provide visibility for trailing riders.
A center-mounted trailer hitch is standard equipment and the KingQuad 700 has
a towing capacity of nearly
1,000 pounds. A handy storage compartment is located on the right front fender
and can be easily
accessed from the saddle. Another water-resistant storage box is below the left-side
rear fender. Sturdy
floorboards with rugged serrated footpegs are designed to quickly drain free
of mud and water in adverse
conditions.
The KingQuad 700 carries on the aggressive sport/utility look found in other
members of the Suzuki
QuadRunner family, like the Vinson 500 and the QuadSport Z400. With its high-arched
fenders, sharp headlights,
and new Black and Camouflage colors, the Suzuki KingQuad 700 combines sporty
appeal with utility
strength.

The Vinson QuadRunner utilizes a durable 493cc four-stroke, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder,
SOHC, four-valve
engine. It's equipped with a gear-driven balancer shaft for reduced vibration
and is designed for high torque
output and quick acceleration. Power is transferred through a fully automatic
QuadMatic V-belt transmission
with continuously variable gear ratio, centrifugal automatic clutch and a two-speed
sub-transmission.
This last includes a reverse gear and an advanced engine braking system to reduce
downhill speeds.
Choose from 2WD or 4WD with the convenient handlebar-mounted electric pushbutton
system.
The Vinson also comes equipped with a torque-sensing limited-slip front differential
for smooth, efficient
power while in 4WD mode. In-gear starting allows for quick and easy re-starts
regardless of transmission
setting. A compact digital instrument display provides all necessary rider information,
including speedometer,
odometer, twin tripmeters, clock, digital fuel gauge and gear position.
The strong and lightweight Vinson frame utilizes large-diameter, thin-walled
tubing for maximum strength
and minimal weight. The front suspension is double A-arm style with five-position,
preload-adjustable
shocks that provide 7.1 inches of wheel travel and maximum ground clearance
(9.8 in.). A swingarm-type
rear suspension uses a single preload-adjustable shock for 7.9 inches of travel.
Lightweight, cast-aluminum wheels are mounted. Large 190mm disc brakes slow
things at the front, while
a single 216mm disc handles braking at the rear. A lightweight skid plate and
bumper guards are also
mounted to provide maximum protection with minimal resistance over rocks and
other obstacles. New
wrinkle-finish high-capacity racks are included on both front and rear of the
ATV for ancillary items.
Other features include bright, fender-mounted, multi-reflector headlights, large
taillight/brake light combo,
and an additional 40-watt handlebar-mounted headlight. A 325-watt charging system
