Anybody had one of these?? Any feedback would be appreciated.
I've got a 2020 with the 3 cylinder 800+cc Cherry. So far it's been solid but wondering about the new 1000 Kawasaki engine..
Thanks

I too have the 800 3 cylinder and it has been good this far. Plenty of power for my uses. But interested to see how the new motor works out.
Heaven has a wall, a gate and strict immigration policy.
Hell has open borders.
Let that sink in.....

No, I've not used the Kawasaki Mule 1000. I have used the Kawasaki KRX 1000 which the mule engine is based on. Obviously it won't have the same power with different cams, head, throttle body... The engine held up reliably with the full power so I have no doubts the detuned engine will last reliably while still putting out more than 5/4 of the 812cc Cherry engine output. My question is how reliable will the rest of the drivetrain be with the added torque twisting it?

My Dad just ordered a new Kawasaki SxS, but he is waiting on a windshield to come in. I test drove it and was impressed. I may sell my CanAm to get one. I love the Kawasaki 3 year warranty and then the ability to buy 4 extra years.

The new Kawasaki Ridge is a 4 cylinder, 999 cc motor. Looks interesting

Finally drove my Dad's new Kawasaki SxS this weekend. Plenty of power and very nimble steering. I wish it had a Park mode and not just the hand break. The under seat storage could be better designed, but works. The tires worked great in soft ground and didn't leave big ruts after the snow fall we had. My dad mounted a small backpack on the backrest to carry extra gear.

I just got a new one. Drove a 22 used Ranch edition, and the 24 1000. The 1000 seemed quieter in mid and higher RPMs. Maintenance seems much easier. I wound up buying the 24 as the 22 had almost 3000 hours on it for only around $5000 savings.

Looks interesting Been away from the SxS scene since '18 when I bought my new Teryx LE4 Which now has 5700 miles...still runs great & well maintained Prices have only gone UP ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 4 cylinder 1000 cc ? Dammmm Still the Kawi 3 yr warranty The frugal side of me says....1st Gen Tacoma..4x4...manual.....V6......TRD.... $30K plus for a SxS ? Teryx was under $18K OTD https://www.kawasaki.com/en-us/side-x-side/ridge/2-to-3-passenger/ridge/2024-ridge-limited#specs

Picking up mine up today. Mule Pro-FXR 1000 LE. I'll report back soon once I get a chance to really use it. I did notice test driving several, that it seemed more quiet than others.
