• Piston wall thickness, connecting rod bearing surfaces and crank journal surfaces are optimized for durability

• Engine can be started in gear when the brake pedal is depressed

• A heavy-duty liquid cooling system keeps temperatures under control in the harshest conditions, and provides long-term dependability

• Underhood snorkel air intake and massive air box feed the engine plenty of clean air while minimizing intake noise. Easy maintenance design promotes long engine life

• Paper air filter element offers plenty of intake surface area and excellent dust resistance

• Large-capacity radiator is compact and placed high in the chassis for protection against mud and debris, while a large cooling fan increases cooling capacity, especially during slower going and while towing heavy loads

• Large-diameter cooling-system hoses maximize coolant flow and overall capacity, while the coolant reservoir is located beneath the flip-up front cover for easy maintenance

• Engine weight is reduced via numerous advanced technologies, including lightened crank webs, rare earth magnet usage, a small generator, and paring excess material wherever possible

• An integrated ignition cut-out helps preserve the brake system, by preventing driving while the parking brake is engaged





Digital Fuel Injection

• Digital Fuel Injection (DFI®) system offers excellent throttle response and automatically adjusts for changes in temperature and elevation for optimum performance in a wide range of environments

• DFI system is controlled by a 32-bit ECU and continuously monitors coolant temperature, air-intake temperature and pressure, throttle position, vehicle speed and crankshaft angle, to automatically provide the ideal amount of fuel via two 36mm throttle bodies, which include 12-hole fine-atomizing injectors, for extremely linear power delivery regardless of the conditions

• DFI system permits easy engine starting at low temperature and utilizes an Automatic Idle Speed Control and Automatic Fast Idle function to help ensure smooth engine warm up

• The high-pressure fuel pump located within the tank features a unique reservoir chamber at the bottom of the pump to help ensure air does not leak into the fuel system

• Use-specific sized throttle bodies, optimized ignition timing and fine-atomizing injectors maximize low- and mid-range torque as well as offer excellent response at higher rpm





Kawasaki Automatic Power-Drive System CVT w/Centrifugal Clutch

• Featuring high and low ranges, plus reverse, this advanced and continuously variable transmission provides extremely direct engine feel along with instantaneous acceleration from the centrifugal clutch

• Transmission uses a strong, high-grade, Kevlar-impregnated belt designed to handle the output of the engine. The drive converter shaft is hard chrome-finished for added durability

• The smooth centrifugal clutch is key to the Teryx’s superior acceleration precision at slow and very low speeds

• Centrifugal clutch is located between the crankshaft and CVT drive pulley, which eliminates CVT belt shock and contributes to optimal transmission performance

• A large intake duct, located high to keep water and debris out, provides plenty of cooling air to the CVT

• Heat shielding on the exhaust pipe below the intake duct helps minimize CVT temperatures





Selectable Four-wheel Drive / Locking Front Differential

• Selecting two- or four-wheel drive is as easy as rotating a switch located on the dash to quickly choose between 2WD / 4WD / 4WD+differential lock

• Limited-slip front differential reduces steering effort under normal four-wheel drive operation, while a convenient dash-mounted knob allows the front differential to be locked to help boost traction in difficult conditions
