Thanks to its fully independent suspension and ample towing capacity, you can tackle any task—an EFI-fed, torque-rich engine with an efficient QuadMatic transmission and engine brakes. Headlights, fenders, handlebars, an LED tail light, and a full LCD instrument panel come standard in the ATV. Adjustable cargo rack guards allow the rider to configure his King Quad for any mission.
Engine Features
The powerful 493cc, SOHC, four-stroke, liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine is tuned to deliver top-end solid power and a broad powerband. The engine height and low seat height result from the engine head and cylinder being canted forward for a low center of gravity.
For smooth running, the engine also has a balance shaft. The small, four-valve cylinder head features large intake valves and straight intake ports for exceptional charging efficiency. Nut and screw valve lash adjuster makes maintenance easy. Excellent heat transfer and ring sealing are achieved using a SCEM (Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material) coating on the lightweight aluminum cylinder, providing exceptional combustion chamber performance.
Advanced Suzuki fuel injection delivers consistent power throughout the rpm range, enhancing fuel economy and throttle response. Moreover, it boosts the starting engine in all situations. The new 2023 KingQuad 500AXi Power Steering SE Plus Utility ATV quickly complies with US emissions regulations.
In California, versions that meet strict emissions standards are eligible for registration with a green sticker. A large-diameter, thermostatically controlled cooling fan, and high-capacity aluminum radiator provide a stable engine operating temperature.
Transmission Features
With a gate-type shifter located on the fender for high/low range selection, the QuadMatic CVT-type automatic transmission provides simplicity and versatility. With the throttle off, its advanced engine-braking system reduces freewheeling and helps maintain ATV control during descents. A small torque-sensing limited-slip front differential provides substantial traction and light steering.
A differential-lock system offers four-wheel-drive solid traction. Push-button controls on the handlebar make it extremely easy to choose between 2WD, 4WD, and differential-lock 4WD. When removing dirt from the new 2023 KingQuad 500AXi Power Steering SE Plus Utility ATV, the standard speed limiter can be overridden by pressing the override button on the left handlebar.

The 2023 KingQuad 500AXi Power Steering SE Plus Utility ATV’s chassis features thick-walled tubes and reinforced brackets at strategic locations to improve ride comfort, make the quad bike easier to ride on any terrain, and increase towing capacity.
The main steering characteristics are adjusted to an “understeer” position for less effort and tighter turns in confined spaces. It enables the use of handlebars that are longer and more comfortable. With 6.7-inch of wheel travel, the independent double-arm front suspension features five-way spring preload adjustment and wide-diameter gas-charged shock absorbers.
With 7.7 inches of wheel travel, the fully independent A-arm/I-beam rear suspension features large-diameter, gas-charged shock absorbers with five-way spring preload adjustment. A wide-diameter rear stabilizer bar with responsive bushings helps control body motion, reducing rider jolts. For ultimate braking performance, twin hydraulic front disc brakes utilize high-lever ratio, fluid lines, and high-friction brake pad material.
The sealed, multi-plate rear brake system’s footbrake-lever ratio offers excellent ride control. The clutch-type construction of the rear brake results in low maintenance, outstanding durability, and reduced unsprung weight. Suzuki’s T-shaped comfortable seat allows riders to move freely in challenging or fast terrain.
On rocks and rough terrain, polyethylene skid plates protect with little resistance. Protective guards made of solid plastic cover the front and rear half-shafts.25-inch Carlisle tires with excellent traction are mounted on lightweight cast aluminum rims specially blacked out.
Utility / Convenience Features
The direction you steer the 2023 KingQuad 500AXi Power Steering SE Plus Utility ATV is illuminated by a 35-watt handlebar-mounted lamp. The King Quad’s unique bodywork features dual 35-watt headlights with high and low settings. ATV’s stunning, low-draw LED taillight saves energy while increasing low-light visibility. With the King Quad’s large towing capacity (up to 1322 pounds), choosing the cargo you want to haul is easy with a receiver-type trailer hatch installation. Winch installation is simplified by wire conduct and Winch-ready mounts.
The multi-function instrument panel offers servicing reminders based on mileage or running time and has improved appearance and visibility. The instrument panel has LCD readouts for fuel level, driving range, drive mode, twin trip meter, hour meter, fuel level, and clock.
An eighteen-amp maintenance-free battery is provided by a high-output, three-phase charging system with plenty of power for easy starting and equipment use. As standard, there is a sealed 12V accessory outlet. The 17.5 L (4.6 gallon) gasoline tank is low in the center of gravity. It has a ratchet-style filler cap (which opens easily for refilling and prevents overtightening) and a vacuum-operated petcock.
The centrally located 4.0-liter storage compartment at the rear of the 2023 KingQuad 500AXi Power Steering SE Plus Utility ATV offers excellent load capacity, which sits alongside the left side compartment of the already existing 4.0-liter. The front storage section, which holds 2.8 liters and is waterproof, has an easy-to-access screw.
Front and rear reinforced steel-tube cargo racks have a wrinkle-resistant paint finish for durability.
