i like it!!! your wife has one bad @ss quad! 

[Moose]

One very nice quad there. Very nice indeed.

Won't be pulling her out much, it'll be the other way around.

Love the color, ride red, Honda.      OH it's not a Honda, that's OK, I like it anyway.

[svtbolt04]

C5 z06? LS1 camaro? Dang baller.

[Dr.Dirt]

Nice KingQuad, sounds like shes hooked on ATVing  ... Nice Camaro, is it a V6 or does it have the LS1 in it? I can tell it is 98+ because thats when they changed the front end. I love Camaro's, I'm saving for a 2002 Z/28 or SS but right now I have a 1995 V6 with 60K miles on it now (The one in my signature).

[Bullseye21]

The car is a 2002 Z06 Corvette, I have always wanted one so a couple of years ago I said "what the phuck" and got it.  I gave the 1999 Camaro to my son but it only has the 3.8L in it, not even in the same league as the Z06.....  I get a kick out of the (not to offend anybody) little turbo charged jap cars that want to run on the street, when they find out the car is stock most get pissed.  Before I get a bunch of replies, yes I know you can make any car fast, so please don't email me with all of the my car is faster than your Z06 stuff.  Send me a copy of your slip from the track though, please, I would be interested in seeing what you have to run....

Thanks for the interest in my toys and the post...

Here is one of the motor.   The only modification is the carbon fiber air bridge and a K&N air filter, it has also been lowered a bit too.  Although it is my toy, my wife drives the Z06 every day to work.

[svtbolt04]

What have you ran before?

Best I ever ran on a 8th mile track was 8.7 with a 1.6 60foot and trap speed of 80mph.

I love the Z06 though, any year to me is pure awesomeness. I would trade my lightning for one in a heart beat.

Yeah, it would be closer if it was the Z/28 which borrows the 5.7 LS1 V8 from the Corvette... I have always liked Camaro's more than Corvettes, but I would own both if I could lol... I know what your talking about with the import guys, they think they are driving a rocket. I'm sorry, but a 4 cylinder that runs 18's in the 1/4 mile is not going to have a 10 second 1/4 if you slap a turbo in it, like most (Mostly Honda Civic drivers) the import fans seem to think. There is no replacement for displacement.

[Bullseye21]

I have ran the car one time at Moroso and I spun all of first gear, most of second and missed fourth once and the car still ran a 13.40 @ 105 mph.  I was very nervious to say the least but I wanted to give it a try.  In my defense the track was very greasy and after hours of people complaining they sprayed 3/4 of the track with the sticky stuff, if I would have ran then I feel certain I would have been in the high 12's.  The car with a professional driving, Chevy claims the will go 12.3 @ 118mph, check for yourself.  Oh, the Z06 has an LS6, not the LS1, in it.  405 hp with 400 ft/lbs of torque.

You missed fourth and still made a mid 13 with that...?
LOW 12'S?? Not with those tires.

Nice rides you have there. The KQ is sweet. I think I am going to trade my Vinson in.

[Bullseye21]

Yes, I ran 13.40 with all the above information.....  I don't know what else to say.  The tires are Michelin Sport Pilot size 295/35/18 stock size, no burn out, bypassed the water trap.  Like I said, look on z06vette.com and you will be able to find the Chevy information on what they got the car to do, they say 12.3 @ 118mph, I am not making it up, look for yourself.  I don't think there were any slicks involve.  The new Z06 runs 11.70 in 1/4 mile, again look for yourself.  I am working nights now, but have tomorrow night off, I will try to post the Moroso slip.  I have a G-tech pro RR, I had it on when I did my pass and I will try to post that information too.  Thanks for the conversation and will again try to get it posted.

I did not go looking for the Kingquad just a good deal came up.  How do you like your Suzuki product?  Really let me know what you think.  We are going to ride ours for the first time on Friday, hope it is nice, my wife is really excited about the bike and hope it rides better that the V-Force she had.

[Bullseye21]

Here is a couple of quick links that you can get some data for the 2002 Z06 Corvette:


http://www.mpt.org/motorweek/reviews/rt2115a.shtml

http://www.corvettemuseum.com/specs/2002/z06.shtml

Corvette Museum under the More Torque = Better Performance section states :

The Z06 will continue to be outfitted with the unique six-speed manual transmission for 2002. It will enable skilled drivers to achieve 0-60 mph times of 3.9 seconds and to cover a quarter mile in 12.4 seconds at 116 mph. By comparison, the 2001 powertrain combination achieved 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds and the quarter mile in 12.6 seconds at 114 mph.

They do talk about a "skilled driver", I never said I was thus the spinning in first and second plus missing fourth, don't forget about the "13.40".  I will get the stock car in the 12's though.  Let me know if you find anything different.  Please let me know how you like your Suzuki too, I did not hear anything bad about them....  Thanks again.

[Bullseye21]

Here is the information from my G-tech pro RR.  The red is acutally the first run look at the time at the top of the screen.  Right out of the hole I had to pedel the car a .5 seconds and just before the 11 second mark I missed 4th gear twice.  I do not know why the total 1/4 time got lost but I am telling you it was 13.40.  The second run in black you can see I rolled out for about 1 second until I really got on it and I still turned the tires abit and I did not bounce the tach like I did on my first run ,I hit the rev limiter at 3.5 and 6 seconds (6,500 redline).  I was not wanting to spin the tires very much in the second run and still ran a 13.840 @ 105.19 which was almost the exact time Moroso had for me, the only thing I remember different was the MPH was a little over 106 for the second run per Moroso.  Trust me the first run was ugly but the stuff is happening very fast, trust me!.  I can't find my time sheet from Moroso, but I have nothing to hide.  Click the picture to get a bit larger..

Nice

[Bullseye21]

Anymore discussion on the bike or car?  I look forward to hearing about quirks on the Kindquad.  We are taking it out tonight and will post some other pictures.

[svtbolt04]

What is it making to the wheels? How many G's did you pull?

[ez400man]

 Yea nice bike but how did it take off to car talk?

[Bullseye21]

The G-tech shows the max G's as .06 and HP @ 260 to the ground, seems light but that is what is has.  As for the other question, a couple of sharp individuals picked up some of my other toys from the pictures of my wife's bike.  Good to hear from you again and Iwill post some pictures of my ride tonight.

[svtbolt04]

That seems really low for a 405hp car. That much powerloss is amazing. I would bet its making more than that. My lightning dynoed in at 336 with outside air at 85*. Where as it shows 380 at the crank.

Weird man. Maybe you missed the 3 and hit the 2. That would sound more reasonable.

[Bullseye21]

That is what the G-tech says but I was told the HP shoud be around 340 to 360.  I was not totally sure how to set that up in the G-tech.  I went back and looked at the graph, the HP number don't look right, thanks for the information.

[kawGIRL]

Nice bike 

I had a Vinson LE and rode my husbands KingQuad one time and 2 weeks later......Guess What?  We now have twin KQ's   
He just put a pipe and box on his.... I can't let him be faster than me now can I 

[Bullseye21]

We just got back from riding it tonight, rained out in Okeechobee but we still had a good time.  We enjoyed the ride except were she stopped short in a ditch and I ran into her with the Rincon.  No mark on her bike but I dented the front bumper on my bike, oh well that the way it goes sometimes.  Her steering is very easy on her bike is it the same on your?  We were thinking about getting a steering stabilizer, do you know one that will fit?

Thanks!

[Da_Mtg_Man]

You'll love the KQ. By far it is the best bang for the buck on the big Utes. Is that RL400's  old KQ?

[Bullseye21]

I don't know rl400, I got the bike from the Honda dealer in Stuart.  What do you know about the steering.  It is extreamly easy and the bar in a hard turn want to keep coming around, any info?

[kawGIRL]

Yes the steering on the k/q is the easiest of the big bore quads. Denton is supposed to be making a stabilizer for the k/q, but at this time the only thing available is to take one for the Z400 and grind the bracket to fit the stem on the k/q. There is a steering mod that some owners have done, it actually changes the caster angle. Do a search on "Nyroc" there is alot of helpful info for the k/q in the tech section aswell as the forum.

Yeah that looks like Git r done700 (RL400)'s Dad's k/q. They traded it in on their street bikes. That quad barley saw a mud puddle it was real clean !

Jeff

[Bullseye21]

Story I got from the dealer is the bike was only used for hunting, it had the Georgia red dust on it when I got the bike.  After I cleaned it up it really looked new.  40 hours and 386 miles.....  Thanks for the info about the steering.

[kawGIRL]

No, the red clay came from their trip to durhamtown, Georgia  which I believe was the last ride they did, that quad never saw a hunt. That's funny.

[Bullseye21]

I think the person that owned the bike lives in Palm Beach Gardens, I could be wrong.  If it is the guy you say, please tell me the bike was taken care of.

[kawGIRL]

The bike was very well taken care of and not abused in any way.

[Da_Mtg_Man]

Small world huh, The reason I asked is because it looked really familiar, I thought hard about buyinig it. As Kawgirl said, It was VERY WELL taken care of.
Other than the belt kept breaking, and the knocking in the bottom end it was great. 
Just kidding dude, It was a prestine quad.

[RL400]

Yup, thats our old KQ!

[Bullseye21]

RL400, nice to talk with you.  My wife is happy with the bike, the only knock she has the the steering, we are going to get a Denton stabilizer soon.  Any chance you purchased the shop manual?  I will probably get one if you don't have it.  I would like to talk with you if you don't mind send me a contact number and I will call you.  Kawgirl thanks for the information on the Nyroc.    I want to do a ride sometimes with a few people from this web site I will have to get up with you after I get out of my outage at work, thats not until the middle of June.  Do any of you ride out in Okeechobee?

No, didn't purchase a shop manual.  We don't ride dirt anymore, but we used to ride out at Okeechobee (Prairie).  Most of the riding on that bike was done out there, some at Durhamtown Plantation in Union Point, GA. Glad to hear your wife likes it.  I personally didn't ride it that much, my dad or mom rode it mostly, so I can't relate to what you're saying about the steering.  I used to ride a Honda 400EX.  There's a bunch of great people on the site to ride with.  If you have any questions shoot me a private message.

[IneedPOWA]

That thing is a beast.  And look at the Camaro and Vette 

[Bullseye21]

I got new "A" arms from World Class Racing Products for the Suzuki to take care of the steering problem.  I have not put them on yet.  I will also probably selling the rims and tires off of the Suzuki and also the Honda Rincon too.  We don't really ride in deep mud, mostly trail riding.  If anybody has any interest let me know.  I will be posting them on the selling in a month or so after I get out of my outage at work.  All I do is work midnights for now.  Thanks...
