Why do you have to drive it backwards? Lower reverse?Damn Wolverine belt, it’s only slight fault . Ya it’s happened a couple times.

Slips less, actually somewhat drivable then when just trying to get back to camp.Why do you have to drive it backwards? Lower reverse?
No,they are perfect out of the box!He finally got the KRX. We have been riding today but wondering does he need to run vent lines? Or change skids? Anything else big like that can potentially kill the machine?
The vent lines will be fine. Depending on how he rides, upgrading skid plates might not be a bad idea.He finally got the KRX. We have been riding today but wondering does he need to run vent lines? Or change skids? Anything else big like that can potentially kill the machine?
Good seeing you out on the trail! Thought you might just be a mythical creature 🤪The vent lines will be fine. Depending on how he rides, upgrading skid plates might not be a bad idea.
Watched a video by Shock Therapy reviewing all the Sport S x S's, He said the KRX in the best non turbo out there as far as suspension geometry and they way they are built. He also said if they a turbo they will give the RZR a run for there money.I watched a video a few weeks ago where a KRX driver blew his second front diff. He was riding with a group back east on some extreme, muddy, wet, washed out, rocky climbs. The comment was made that he has a poor choice of tires and was hopping his (35s IIRC) over every obstacle to trying to get traction. I felt the machines pain just watching.
For some perspective, a thread from a rental mechanic located in Moab with feed back on some of their rentals pushing 8K miles.

Yeah, that’s concerning right there.....I watched a video a few weeks ago where a KRX driver blew his second front diff. He was riding with a group back east on some extreme, muddy, wet, washed out, rocky climbs. The comment was made that he has a poor choice of tires and was hopping his (35s IIRC) over every obstacle to trying to get traction. I felt the machines pain just watching.

I was just in Moab last month and visited every rental, unless off the beaten path, I didn’t see any rentals with Honda’s.Just curious. Does anyone know if they rent Pioneers and Talons in Moab?
My thoughts exactly. Rental companies may avoid Honda because of the DTC and folks not wanting any learning curve. My local dealer in Montrose (been with him for decades and he does Kawi, and Honda) says Kawasaki warranty and dealing with customer service is second to none (I was surprised to hear that). I asked him about some issues and modifications I wanted to do on the KRX suspension wise and he said no issues what so ever. Been with him for 20 plus years and he has always been on the level.Sure wish they would for comparison...
So you have a KRX?My thoughts exactly. Rental companies may avoid Honda because of the DTC and folks not wanting any learning curve.

My Honda has spent way more time on recalls than any actual scheduled service. The experience has been equitable with no bad feelings. Working on both machines personalIy, see a LOT MORE design thought put into the Kawasaki compared to the Honda. Working on the Honda is an exercise in what were you thinking when you put that there? The Kawi is more like oh the guys that work on this stuff were on the design team, its super easy. FWIW.
So that's where @jtw ran off to...I watched a video a few weeks ago where a KRX driver blew his second front diff.

Yes. My Honda is that F250 That will do anything and kind of everything asked of it that I will never get rid of. The KRX is that Porsche Cayenne that is for fun. We are taking KRX and Pioneers for some pretty long rides in Utah in a few weeks. I'm sure we will be switching back and forth. No doubt the KRX gobbles up rough terrain like a starving beast compared to a Pioneer.......but ride isn't everything. On a long treck, storage, utility, gas mileage all factor in. Also how you feel after a long day riding. It will be an interesting comparison.So you have a KRX?

I’ll be interested in the comparison....
