Super cool video man! Thanks for posting.
Thanks Ray. Much appreciated. Been watching yours for awhile. You put out some great stuff. Almost bought a T4 because of you but loved KRX so much and took a risk. Your first video of it helped seal the deal.
Nice set up.
Thanks Mike!!! What Mtb do you ride. I just bought mine last week. I’m hoping to start hiring the trails soon.
Like your video. I have the same problem with my fuel gage not reading right. I've had my krx 2021 for about 5 months and love it. Best sxs out there .
Thanks man.
Yeah it’s a little beast. Hoping to do some long distance multi day camping with it late summer I. Central Utah to get its final stamp of approval.
I just lucked in to a2020 with 4k. Drove it home 20 miles from the dealer. Rides like a mother f-er . Took it up the mountain for a 40 mile ride on rough terrain. Couldn’t be more pleased.
I just bought my 2022 Krx 1000 so far I only have 3.7 hours n 35miles but can't wait to take it to the trails
Thats awesome. Hope you got a good deal on it. Prices are crazy right now. Glad you got your new rig and hope you enjoy!!
I just bought a 2022 and it’s awesome. Yeah it lacks the top end but that’s not what I wanted. I wanted mud and trails and that’s what I got.
Kelly, yeah these things are little beast. Comfort and control. It does great in tight trails and the factory tires aren’t too bad in the mud. Hope you enjoy. Mine is going to play in the sand in a couple of weeks and hoping to put out a video running with the turbo’s
Aloha🤙 Enjoyed your video and you have a beautiful KRX 1000. Just picked me up a 21 KRX base model and I love mines as well. Liked and subscribed
Thanks Francis and Awesome to hear about your ‘21 KRX.
You said Aloha, are you in Hawaii, curious if you are and how riding is out there.
@@80DeuceAdventures Howzit, yea from the Big Island of Hawaii represent :) Not really much areas to ride here, unlike the mainland. Got Waipio Valley to go down to, Mana Road which is a road that goes around the Mauna Kea Mountain, and Green Sands the southern most point in the U.S., trail riding I'll post more videos when I get a chance. Take Care and keep the videos coming
@@francisp5809 That’s awesome. I look forward to your videos. I’ll hit sub!
I bent my float down about half an inch and it works fine now. It is a common fix to the fuel gage issue.
DA, Thanks for the tip. I will have to try that and do some digging into the steps to get her done. Good to know that it works. Im about to do the Gas vent mod. I received the parts this weekend and looking to do the repair later this week.
@@80DeuceAdventures works better still no where close to perfect i found
@@rebeccaeddy7078 Every bit help. Thanks for the update.
Maybe I need to get one when 🚀🚀🚀
Let's shoot for the moon....or at least a spike. Although the market is a bit shy right now!!!
lube the bushings with silicone grease to get rid of the squeak or if you are worried about sucking up dust and grinding into the bushings you can use dry silicone powder or graphite
I'll have to give it a try. How long in between reapplication of the grease? Any brands you like? Sorry Ive been slacking on videos. We just moved and trying to get settled in. More to come soon!!
Ok. I was a 20+ year chrysler jeep dodge tech. Dry bushings squek . My solution firever was silicine grease. If bushings were in good shape just lube em up ,if there was wear or cracking id replace and lube up on install. Even on my own vehicles ive done that with long term results.
Hey Roger, thanks for the feedback. How long would you say the interval would be for Offroad applications just a SxS. A quick spray once a month or two??
Nice review of your KRX, I bought one in December. My RZR XP1000-4 had the same suspension squeaks as your Kawasaki, so far my KRX has not started squeaking, The fuel gauge is a real problem, Driving out in the middle of the desert I don't know how much fuel I have left and if I have enough to get back to camp, and I always forget to check the mileage before leaving. I don't like the engine noise and exhaust, wish it sounded like my RZR, other than those dis-likes I love this Kawasaki.
I put the Shock Therapy rubber O rings on the cross overs when I put their springs on it a couple of months ago, as mine sagged after 500 miles, stopped the clunking sound.
Just put my Kawasaki glass windshield on offer-up, used it once and it sucked the dust into the cab, was unbearable, I put a Super ATV flip-up windshield on and that solved the dust going into the cab.
I have some PRP GT3 seats being made, should have them in a couple of weeks.
These things are money pits!
Hey Pat Thanks for watching the video!! Much appreciated. Shock therapy is my next big upgrade… I don’t have sag but figured I’d beat the it before it starts.
How do you like the spring kit?? Did your get there shock tune as well?
Those seats are going to be sick and comfortable!! Custom, I’d love to seat them afterwards.
Best of luck and keep the money pit rolling.
More videos to come.
@@80DeuceAdventures I just had the Shock Therapy revalve done two weeks ago, only been able to give it a quick ride on a really rough trail and it is even better than stock. Well worth the $800 for the revalve. It took almost 3 1/2 months to get the appointment for the revalve.
ua-cam.com/video/YHHz1zYyEco/v-deo.html
Damn…3.5. Hmmm may make for a late season trip to AZ. Good to hear that it was worth it. Checking out video now.
@@80DeuceAdventuresHey Deuce, looking at picking up a little Teryx S for around the “house”. Once I get “Momma” on board I want to grab a 23 trail edition. I’d love to see you do a video on the shock therapy swap. I just subbed, I am gonna take the little Teryx to Moon Rocks to run her a little bit. Thank you. Respectfully, Scott
Hey Scott. Hopefully soon. We are moving in a couple of months and all my funds are accounted for. But this fall I am definitely going to be making the swap. Stay tuned. Thanks
Video on adding speakers and amp with sound bar
Coming soon. I am waiting on parts to arrive. Right now she is torn apart and no power and won’t start. Once I get her all back together I will shoot it.
I have just purchased a used 2021 KRX side by side and love that it is different and may I say better than the rzr’s that a lot of my friends have .
Thanks Ken and enjoy the new rig. They may not be as quick but they are way more other benefit than the others….
I have a 2021 KRX 1000 eS on order and it should show up any day now. One of my first modifications is going to install 1/4-28 zerk fittings on the control arms to lubricate the bushings.
That will take care of the squeaking control arm bushings. There are two bushings on each control arm and I will drill and tap the control arms at the center of the location where the bushing come together. I will install the zerk fittings at locations as so they don't get sheared off during the suspension travel. I am going to start a UA-cam channel and I will video my modifications and accessories installations on my new 1000 eS when it arrives.
Hey Bret Thanks for the comment and watching. I’ll keep an eye for channel. Im hearing really good thinks about the ES model. Congrats on the purchase. You will love it!!!
I’m looking at doing the same mod just not looking forward to taking the arms off to do it.
Perhaps when I switch springs.
I’ll have more videos posting soon. Thanks again and be safe out there.
@@80DeuceAdventures Thank you for the reply and the honest review of you machine. I chose the KRX 1000 eS for many reasons as they are not for everybody but there is a butt for every saddle! I have subbed to your channel.
Thanks Bret!!
I'm in Victorville. My dad just bought one.
How do you like it compared to can Am?
.. question. How long does it take to break in? Wouldn't recommend going all out on the 1st ride. Ocotillo wells. Is where we like to go. Try red mountain- dove springs !
Awesome machine 👏.
Thanks for video. I'm gonna show my dad this video
Hey man, suspension it’s buttery smooth. Comfort is nice, power is the difference. If your looking for top end speed, the krx is not as fast as a turbo can am. Non-turbo the speed is the same. Overall I feel it’s better built with a couple of minor things to work on. But in all a great machine.
Thanks for watching. I have more to come so click sub.
I have a 2021 trail edition. My main complaint is the fuel gauge as well. Kind of sucks not really knowing how much fuel you have. We went on a 60 mile ride in idaho and my gauge was reading empty, the last notch was blinking, when we got to camp I looked in the fuel tank and could still see fuel. Like a half tank. Besides that I love the machine.
Agreed. Where about in Idaho?
I heard of people doing a mod wheee you bend the fuel float inside the tank but haven’t tried it yet. Perhaps soon.
They are pretty nice machines.
Up behind lava hot springs. The trail went up to some radio/cell/weather towers, on the top of a mountain then back down the other side and circled back to smith canyon.
That’s awesome. I’ll have to check it out next trip up with the KRX.
I will see if I can get you more of a exact trail name when I talk to my friends this weekend. This was my first time up on the trail. We live in utah. My buddies have 5 acres up in that area we camp at all the time.
I want to say it was sedgwick peak thunder mountain road or Wyoming road/trail something to that nature.
I have heard that the fuel gauge is supposed to be like that due to the fuel pickup being in the front. I usually fill mine up before every ride.
Ive heard that too. I just fill up before every trip and top off at 100mi's and so far no issues. But it still a bit tense staring at that damn gauge..
yes basically like a few other issues on this thing a design flaw
Yup. I just finished the vent mod on mine CA model and so the fuel gauge has been good to go.
I’ll be posting a video soon.
Very great review of the KRX and some of the available accessories.
I’ve had mine for a year love it. Same complaints as you but well worth it. I need to do a review as well!
I’ve posted a few videos from Texas and a few from our Arkansas trips. Check them out if you get a chance.
Also, in your opinion, would door speakers alone be enough with a small amp and head unit? Especially the bass?
Hey man. Thanks for watching. I’ll have to check out your page when I get off my flight…lol service sucks.
I do like it a lot with a few issues …but hey can’t be perfect…
As far as door speakers, all I can say is it depends.
What do you listen too
What speakers you buy
What amp.
My gut says no, I would how ever recommend using speaker baffles to protect the door speakers. They are like these
amzn.to/3wugAMq
I’m running a Polk audio 10” sub in a box behind the passenger seat. Only cost $89. Sounds great.
amzn.to/3wrPNjP
With an amp. My amp is the Rockville 4 channel. I like it but it’s large and had to build a bracket for the bed.
amzn.to/35r9Djv
You can prob find a smaller sized one. I had this and used it.
Let me know if you have any other questions. Perhaps I’ll video my stereo install next video as a overview.
My 4 seater rules... so much room for a monster size human..
Where did you get those mirrors? Love the LED fronts
Thanks Brandon. They work pretty well for the price and seem to hold up. I got them on Amazon. Here is the link - amzn.to/3zGG1xg Thanks for checking out the video.
Want to hear about cab noise and heat in cab, thinking about buying one, the engine noise in cab seems terrible, and I’ve heard complaints about heat, haven’t drove one far enough to see myself
Has anyone come up with an off road compilation of trails that connect across the country (with usable gas stations along the way)?
Hey thanks for the comment. I dont believe so. However there is a couple of Facebook that did a cross country SxS ride in 2 CanAms with their dogs this past year. Both diretions.... Try doing a search for them. I would love to see a complete video myself. Sounds like you have trip coming up to plan!!!! Be safe.
Is there a accessory catalog for the Terex krx Kawasaki 2023 side by side
You can log onto the Kawasaki website and see what they have available , but other than that you would just need to scoure the internet. But for the most part everything that fits the 2020 will fit the 2023... 90%
www.kawasaki.com/en-us/side-x-side/teryx/teryx-2-passenger-sport/teryx-krx-1000?cm_re=GLOBALNAV-_-PRODUCTGROUPLIST-_-VEHICLE
How did you break yours in? Did you do the factory recommendation?
I tried to as much as possible. So far I have had ZERO mechanical issues. Only squeaking from suspension, which is pretty normal.
i have a new 2020 KRX love it but !!!! have weight problems in my clutch not happy i know all things wear out but a year wow man and at the price of them ! and having to replace them every year its to much But for the machine i love it
That is kind of early. I've had mine for over a year and have not experienced that issue. Sadly there are issue with all these Machines.... What weights did you end up going with? I have been thinking of replacing mine for performance reasons...
im looking at JBS ? what do you recommend ?
@@rickclark8946 Honestly I donthave a recommendation. I am still hunting for a set. I know the guys at Deranged Offroad have reviewed a set that they really like. You can find them on here just do a search for Deranged Offroad
@@80DeuceAdventures thank you vary much your the first to reply and im going to check them out tanks again
The squeaky sounds are a easy fix. Break down the front end and grease the bushings and that'll stop all the squeaks your having
Sweet Thanks Louis. I will be doing winter maintance and definitly will be doing that! Sorry Ive been slacking on videos. We just moved and trying to get settled in. More to come soon!!
How is the cab noise compared to other Sport models?
Hey Ed, thanks for watching. The noise is nothing out of the ordinary. I would say for the most part they all are a bit noise.
I’ve owned three other ones and it’s whiter than my other three, but not diff than the Rzr, or can am.
What id the toggle switch you said next to your ram mount for?
Its this one. But there is a newer version as well and it lets you add a pulse to your lights as if its a chase light without having to have a seperate sensor or lighting set up. Sorry Ive been slacking on videos. We just moved and trying to get settled in. More to come soon!!
Original - amzn.to/4a3suRC
New Version - amzn.to/3QZj553
Have you tried cleaning and greasing the bushings? Worth trying before dropping cash.
No I have not but thanks for the advice. I found a liquid bases lubricant that seemed to work. It’s not wd40 but something like TF250
Make the bushing serviceable by drilling and installing zerk grease fittings. Bushings will last longer and squeaking will go away. Mud, dust, and water are your biggest wear and tear factors. Did this to my GNCC quad.
I'll have to try that.
If you were buying a new one, what would you buy?
Hey Kevin, Sorry man Ive been traveling for work.... I would. I do like it alot. I am a trail rider and not in the desert or open high speed areas so for me it suites my needs just fine. 65mph is fast enough. I do wish they would make a version with a bed or update the original T4 Teryx from the days. That one needs a much needed upgrade. Over all I still love it.
Atila
Hello and thanks
How does yours go 75mph???? Mine tops out at 64mph
I may or may not have a tune with no governor. John Force KRX Tune
What brand of mirrors are them
Hey Nathan, it was these. However i would not order them. They shake pretty bad after about 6months. I am looking at new ones and looking at these in place. Let me know what you end up going with. Sorry Ive been slacking on videos. We just moved and trying to get settled in. More to come soon!!
Original - amzn.to/47Dn26z
Newer option - amzn.to/3R4VK1B
How does it take up bumps, does it bobble your head around
It rides super nice...Honestly depends on the terrain but from my other side by sides....Its really plush. Especially if you dial in the shock to your terrain before you take off. Makes it so nice just to turn a dial...26 options is key.
@@80DeuceAdventures awesome 👌, I might be my first side by side, need reliable and maintains free
I’m not trying to be negative but there’s a couple things that you said that I don’t think are right
Top speed is 65 not 75 and horse power is actually 79 to the wheels
Thanks for your comment. You are correct…However I wasn’t referring to RWHP. I was talking about at the crank. As far as top speed some with tune are capable of over 75.
I do appreciate your watching and your feedback.
All those trips you took and only 596 miles?
I know surprised!! Unfortunately most have been short 30-50mi runs. Hoping to do more in the winter when it cools down.
How did you get 75 mph ? Mine will only go about 56 . Nice video .
Hey Keith, there may be a tuner involved…wink wink
Just spray some wd40 or silicone lube on all joints, squeaking gone
Nick, I wish... I have tried wd40 original, wd40 white lithium as well as ATP AT-205 and they all after a day or even 20mi's start squeaking. I have not had much luck unfortunatly.
What whips?
They are safeglowwhips.com but I think they are out of business. I'd go with 5151's if your looking for a new set. I will be switching over soon.
Hungarian baby
Koszi !!
How's the cab heat level compared to your other rides?
I would say very comparable. I ride in the summer and survive and compared to others mfg I’ve ridden in I personally don’t feel any difference.
@@80DeuceAdventures Thanks for the information.
Squeaky joints get yourself some silicone spray and put it on the bushings
Thanks but I already tried that. bought a case of it... LOL. Its seems to be the bushings and need grease fittings.
Kawasaki never makes anything as Dependable as Yamaha or Honda and it's been that way ever since I was a kid
I think they all have their flaws. Yes there are issues but as brands go. I think all the major players are pretty solid.
I'd trade my talon for krx in a sec
@@bobbymcaliley7623 Why dont you like your talon?
@@bobbymcaliley7623 My friend and I both have the Talon R and we beat the hell out them and never have an issue, we love ours.
So my 2014 Teryx 2 would disagree with you. I have over a thousand miles on it, its been to several east texas atv parks, jumps, climbs, mud bogs everything I have pointed it at, dragged large trees to my burn pile(~50) some of those uphill. The teryx has never broken once. Its an absolute tank.
My pet pet pev on my 2021 is that the transmission went out at 300 miles last March and it is still sitting in a shop waiting for parts. Pray you will never need any factory support from this Bogus Company!
That’s not good to hear.
A year, 600 miles....."multiple 100+ mile rides", seriously?
Not sure what your asking???
@@80DeuceAdventures I'm suggesting to you that you have very limited experience with that machine. 600 miles is 5 trips, maximum, if you were going over 100 miles per trip. It's all about content, I get it but it struck me as a bit overblown.
@@kennethbell5263 well Kenny thank for your input. I really appreciate it. Not sure where you feel that I ever said that I did have a lot of experience with this machine. Not sure if you paid attention but I simple gave and shared my experience and opinion with MY machine just as you are here sharing yours.
Again not sure what the point of you making that statement, that I dont have much experience” ok and your point is…?
I owned my teryx two years before I broke a hundred miles.. I use it every day around the ranch for all kinds of uses, as well as some days at the atv parks.. Would you say I have no experience because I don't have high mileage? Your logic simply makes no sense.
