Suzuki Unveils 2015 KingQuad ATVs

Suzuki has been quiet on the ATV front in recent years, but for the 2015 model year the KingQuad lineup of Utility ATVs has been given some updates.

The 2015 Suzuki KingQuad 750AXi, KingQuad 400ASi and 400FSi return with improvements Suzuki says will deliver improved power feel, better fuel economy, and easier cold starting.

Suzuki’s flagship ATV, the 2015 Suzuki KingQuad 750AXi is equipped with a newly designed twin-spark-plug cylinder head designed for improved combustion and power feeling. It also benefits from new multi-hole fuel injectors for finer injection spray as well as projection-type spark plugs for better cold engine starting. Suzuki modified the engine’s intake and exhaust cam profiles for “improved power feeling,” and the exhaust system is updated for cleaner emissions. According to Suzuki, these revisions deliver smoother operation throughout the rev range, plus quicker response and stronger feel at the mid to high rpm range. As well, Suzuki reports that fuel consumption is improved by 10 percent.

The 400cc KingQuads also receive more efficient iridium spark plugs for better combustion and cleaner emission.

“The improvements for 2015 to both the 750cc and 400cc engine help Suzuki KingQuad ATVs meet strict EPA regulations for cleaner emissions,” Suzuki says in a release.
