I'm new to this forum, actually, I'm new to any forum so here it goes. I have an 06 king quad and it dives really bad under hard breaking. I actually flipped the thing doing around 60 when my uncle thought it would be cute to pull out in front of me after I beat his 700 prarie in a drag race. Perfromance modifications and air plane fuel are all good things! Does anyone know if they have decided to fix this problem in the 08 450's and 750's? My dad wants to trade in one of his vinson 500's for a king quad 450, but doesn't want to spend the money to make the suspension changes, a-arms, etc. I can see his point since you can easily spend over a grand.

Oh, going anywhere between 40 and 70mph and then hitting the brakes. I've read that this is a problem with the king quad 700. The 450 is supposed to be identical to the 700 and I was wondering if any suspension changes were going to be made to the new 750 for 08. If you aren't having any problems with your 450, the suspension is probably fine.
