Any Kawasaki KRX owners here?

[Rivrat]

Just curious what people thought of these side by sides. Seem like a really stout car, come fairly set up, and they aren't super pricey. Thinking of picking one up

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

Awesome cars. They are the slowest 1000cc 2 seaters though. Great for rock crawling as they have a wet clutch

 

[LowRiver2]

My buddy is a Kawasaki factory mechanic and is driving one around this weekend in Havi.

I’ll ask for his review

Supposed to be bulletproof.

This^^^^^.
I have been looking at them as well and most, 95%, seem to say they are great crawlers and have one of the best stock suspensions BUT they all say they are slow!

Would like to hear his thoughts first hand!

Same story I've heard from more than 3 places. I'd assume you can make it faster, if you really need it.

I like the looks. What’s slow? I never use all the power in the stock x3.

I’ve been avoiding going into the dealer in Havasu that has had one like that one sitting outside for awhile fearing I’d be leaving with it.

Had we not already purchased our Wildcat XX, we'd probably own one. We're not duners, we're mountain trail explorers with an occasional blast down a dirt road to plaster a shit-eaten grin on our faces. We've never seen where the speedo stops climbing with our 130HP, 1800 + lb beast and wouldn't be running at the 70 mph listed top speed of the 1900 lb. KRX either.
Sitting in it at the Havasu Kawi dealer we were impressed with the build, I really liked the forward vision, the seats were OK, but like always, I'm sure a trip to PRP would be a luxury upgrade --- I know they had one they were making seats for before I ever saw one on a showroom.
I really liked the old school hand emergency brake vs that dumb-ass park position everybody else has ditched the hand brake in favor of. Sucks balls when we can't stop and get out on a slope unless we jam a rock under a tire.

So yeah, if our Wildcat ever fails to meet our needs or we develop a case of "Can't Trust It- will never own another " like our last Polaris, then we'll be owning a KRX.

Long video, but discusses the car's suspension in depth and why they like the car (other than the HP).

Slower than every other 1000cc 2 seater. A 7 year old RZR 1000 will beat you in a drag race.

If you are just tight trail riding and going 40 in washes, you probably will never feel a difference.

Is the 4 seater the same parts or different setup ?

No 4 seater available in this model, just the standard Teryx, which there are far more more capable 4 seaters for similar money.

Got it. I thought the Teryx for was just the 4 seater variant. Different model all together. I’m trying to decide what model would be good for us with a 15,000 budget.

[intense]

buddy just got one I'm looking at getting one

 

[Rivrat]

Spent some time at Parker Yamaha today, they have a few built ones in there. First time I had ever sat in one and they have a ton of leg room. Storage behind the seats. I was impressed. I haul ass across the desert on a dirtbike, this for trail cruising and going to the grocery store. Think for the price you cant go wrong.

 

[SKIDMARC]

I was interested when I was looking for a SXS. But no 4 seater so it was out. Like looking build.

 

[Rivrat]

15k gets you maybe a 900 RZR 4 seater with 3 million miles.

RZR 1000 4 seater.

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

Looking in the wrong places then, but they are definitely harder to find than they used to be. You’ll get a used stock car for $15k though. Prices will cool off by March.

If you are going to mod the car, you are better off just buying a used one that has what you want on it for a couple grand more anyway.

Like I was saying, easy to get one with a ton of miles and no mods, just not anywhere near 15k. Post up some links of worth while cars! I'm in the market

So long as he saves money to buy fuel pumps in bulk --- or is it just O-Rings now ? Even the Polaris service techs and advisors are finally admitting just how many they're replacing.

Buy mine for $19k in a couple months. It’s done and got about everything you’d want. 2016 RZR XP41K.

If I see another cheap one, by the time you see it, it will likely be gone.

 

[Rivrat]

5 year old car for 19k? Come on guy, put the bottle down

It’s just the $1 oring. Polaris does not sell the oring, but it is in the aftermarket fuel pump rebuild kits for $40. Or you can just get the oring.

Then buy the stock 2020 rental for $17k you just posted and spend $800 in new clutches and another $300-$500 fixing odds and ends that are worn out and have a stock 2020 car with more miles and hours than most 5 year old cars for $500 less than mine. Then throw another $3k-$5k in parts (not including labor) at the car to get it close to where you wanted it in the first place.

Spend the money on a good condition, well maintained used car with the mods you want up front. You will save yourself thousands in the long run.

 

[Rivrat]

Either way they'll both have stuff to fix right off the bat, it's a polaris

Not with my car

That 2020 is a $15k car. Inventories are not that low to pay $18k for a used stock rental car with 5k miles on it. You are better off paying the $22k for a new 2021 at that point.

I’d wager $15k cash would take that car. I’d plan for $1k in dumb easy stuff to repair - ball joints, wheel bearings, sway bar bushings, A arm bushings, sway bar endlinks, tie rods, radius rods, shock rebuild, and clutch rebuild/replacement.

 

[CobraDave]

For me, I’m not looking to win races or keep up with anyone. Just looking for something to take all four of us for a ride and carry us down to the water. I’d like it to hold its value and be reliable though.

How is the KRX working out? Where are you renting it out of? I am looking to try before I buy.

I checked them out over the weekend at the SSSSSSSxSSSSSSS showow and really like them EXCEPT for the seat position (too laid back) and the funky pad thing that hits your shoulder other than that they're on my list for $21k and then add a $4300.00 Turbo kit.

It's been a great for the company, unfortunately renters suck, some fucktard lost the trail and high centered the rearend. I was totally pissed, they have steel skids, buuuut fucker hit so hard it pushed skid into rear diff and fuck yea it cracked. We are taken it apart now....kinda a new vehicle so waiting on manuel to fimish...besides dealing with renter bullshit I really like the machine, out here (bullhead city) has alot of loose shale rock and sand washes, machine works well plenty of power and handles great, if your a dune guy it might be a little off.....I really like the 4le four seaters, they only go fifty, keeps the renters in check.....I will some the KRX up, they are a little slower than the competition but,
I believe the suspension makes up for it..... aaaaaand too fast for renters....be safe have fun
