Kawasaki 2014 Teryx4 Adventure in Utah

[Rusty5150]

Next week I will be doing a ride with Kawasaki in the new 2014 Teryx 4. I will spend two days exploring Utah's back country, talking with Kawasaki's employee's and looking over the new model from bumper to bumper. I currently own a 2013 Teryx 4 and I am looking forward to see all the new changes.

If anyone has questions or things they want me to look at post them up here.

have fun Rusty. I have a couple questions.

Why are the rear diff tolerances soo loose? Damn thing clunks while on and off the gas going down rocky terrain.

why the camber in the rear tires? stability?, seems like too much to me.


Then tell them they built an awesome machine and the quality is 10x's better than Polaris and i love my T4. The 4wd system, passenger room, turning radius, and quality is what convinced me to buy a T4.

Sounds like an awesome trip Rusty! Wish I could join in the fun. Looking forward to your report.

If you end up in the Southern part of the state I can help with showing you guys some cool off the grid trails.

Complaints on my 2013 T4, to noisy in the cab, engine brake "clunk".
I'm hoping the 2014 with the fox's ride better, but cant help but wonder why they cant add 2-3" to the a-arms and get factory long travel. (maybe it's coming on the 2 seater).
I've listened to a 2014 in the showroom and it seems much quieter.
I've heard the 2014's are clutched even lower then the 2013's is that true?

Tell them to allow the seat backs to recline a little more. Feels like Im driving a bus. Oh yeah, why is the rear camber funky??

The weather forecast looks good. I am trying to decide which helmet to take. Heavy full face or MX style helmet.

Subscribed, I think the questions asked above are what most T4 owners are wondering. I'll add two more, why such a crappy design on the fuel tank vent and what's the deal with the diff lock being such a pita to disengage. Have fun Rusty, looking forward to some feedback.

You better wear the full face helmet so you don't scare away the wildlife.

So it sounds like everyone wants to know why the rear end is so loud.

I will get the shots Mr. D.....

Rusty- Ever heard this one?- "Damn, thats a nice photo, you must have a really good camera"...

kills me every time

Also ask why not 4 wheel disk brakes. Only thing I wish is that the brakes were better.

And why did they only put 16 cup holders in this thing? I could use 4 more ....
