king 750 lift trouble

402camaro · 01-26-2009, 08:02 PM

I was installing a 2" high lifter kit on my 08' 750 king and the front cv does not seem to want to give the travel. I have installed thins kit on a RZR and on a Brute and they didn't seem to have problem. I am concerned this is beyond acceptable travel and going to cause damage. Has any one had experience with this?

Sorry to say but you bought the worst lift kit for the KQ. When you had your machine(front) jacked up in the air, did you spin the tires? I bet you there was cv binding. The Rason is that the cv axle isn't made for that type of travel.(working angles are too severe. Ride like this and you will bust outer cv joints.) Your High Lifter kit is not a recommended lift by Suzuki. Installed one on a demo, spun the tires, did not like what i felt in cv shafts, took it off, returned to supplier. Should of bought an XPATV 3' lift kit. Most Suzuki techs are aware of this problem, Know what to look for, and will ask if you have a lift/what brand.

Again, sorry to kill your day.

Thanks. That is what happened on the jack stand. What is different with the XPATV lift that solves the angle problem? Not sure I see how that can be avoided.

I returned the lift kit had to fight not to pay a restocking fee but that the stealer for ya.

I believe it's the way the mounts are. HL used shackles that pushed the a-arm down. The xpatv lift pushes the top of the shock outwards. In other words i dont really know, must do extra research.

I've got a 2" lift on my 700, i believe its from lightning performance, i seem to go trough alot of cv boots due to very little clearance and my a-arm guards hold everything.

Has anyone tried kevlar boot guards from yamaha?

Also is there anything else i could try, a new boot every weekend gets pricey. a different lift would not be my first choice of a solution either thanks

acutally never, put lift kits on the, we use highlifter springs, they give you a lift not sure if its 2" but dont have any cv boot issues? may be a silly question but is it possible the kit was put in wrong, and diff between front and rear if they were swapped it may create a problem? just a thought

I have had the xpatv lift on my quad for 750kms with no problems at all

i took off my alluminum a-arm guards and haven't had an issue since. Nothing piles up and rubs all day now.
