I just bought an 09' KQ with power steering and love it!Very little bumpsteer,and is stable to its top speed(I have had it to 68mph).I have 130 miles on it and it(pwr steering)has been transparent,no noises or anything,just noticed that it steers nice.BTW the dealer had only one 750,with power steering,so I bought it B/C they said they wouldn't have any more in until early next year.

The 2010s shouldn't be out until fall so what you are riding has to be an '09.

Happy Trails!
More like the 450 is the 500 with a reduced bore, the current 500 (493cc) motor was already used for years in the old 500 Quadrunners and 500 Vinson.

The new big craze is the Can-Am power steering. It is not only adjustable, it is speed sensitive, meaning that it gives the most help at low speeds and almost none at high speeds. It has 2 stock modes and an add on track mode that can be purchased, if you are running tracks on the machine. I've ridden all of the power steering models and this one is by far the most advanced. I do like the Suzuki's as it seems as most say to be totally transparent. This Honda's are also very nice with the not to much and not to little type. And Kawi has none which is what i own and didn't think i would need, but would like the dampening part of it. I've pulled the bars out of my hands numerous times and am now looking to buy an aftermarket dampener for it.

Point in my rambling, They all have done their homework and produce good systems.
