Just the usual. Exhaust, power commander, K&N, ect. Which KQ are you talking about? The 300, 700, or 750?

Let me know when you find wheels,tie rods and struts that add extra power.

The best upgrade you can do for a Kingquad is to sell it and buy an Outlander 800, or even FASTER yet, A GADE. Trust me. Once you go twin you NEVER go back. Ask me how i know?

When the KQ first came out it has some issues with weak tie rods and ends,and I like big wheels.struts?

As you may be able to tell from the former members of Cynics Anonymous you can't get more power from those parts, Snake. I think what would really make you happy is a good clutch kit. While a clutch kit cannot add power, it can distribute the power to where you need it most. Since you are already considering wheels and tires you must have a specific purpose in mind for your wheeler.

If you want to use your quad for primarily mud you will want a certain clutch setup, probably more bottom end. If you like fast trail riding and tight trails you would probably want more midrange power. A clutch kit can do either of these, but probably not both so make sure you know what you want before you start ordering parts. Then call the manufacturer and they should be able to set you up. If they can't, order from someone else.
