Introduction
To Stay Ahead of the RUV
Pack, Keep Moving! Fast!
When it roared onto the scene just
a couple of years ago, the Teryx 750 FI 4x4s smooth and powerful
V-twin engine and sport-tuned wide-body chassis launched it immediately
to the front of the Recreational Utility Vehicle pack. For 2009,
the Teryx got digital fuel injection and a host of other upgradesand
now for 2010, the evolution of this incredibly adaptable vehicle
continues: An aggressive new front end with a hinged, forward-tilting
hood offers front suspension and cooling system access and eases
maintenance. Upgrades to the mighty V-twins cooling system enhance
long-term reliability, and an even sturdier tilting bed out back
provides extra durability. In addition, a host of detail improvements
for more efficient production and vehicle longevity are designed
to do what Kawasaki has always done: keep the performance high
while keeping the bottom line low.
Power, is of course, at the heart of the matter when it comes
to a performance machine like the Teryx, and when it comes to
power no other RUV can touch this ones 749cc 90-degree 8-valve
V-twin: Not only is this engine plenty powerful, its 90-degree
configuration gives it perfect primary balance, for unmatched
smoothness at any rpmand a great exhaust note that sets the Teryx
apart from lesser RUVs.
For 2010, upgrades to the engines cooling system add even more
reliability: The radiators cooling fan (which switches on automatically
when needed) is now larger and moves a greater volume of air,
while a larger-diameter hose allows greater coolant flow, to
help keep the engine cool when the going gets slow and rough.
Also, the coolant catch tank has been moved to the front of the
machine, where its easily accessible under the very cool new
tilt front end. While youre under there, its easier to inspect
and clean the Teryxs gas-charged preload-adjustable shocks and
dual, long A-arm front suspension setup.
The Teryxs advanced digital fuel-injection system already included
functions for automatic altitude compensation, automatic idle
adjustment and easy, choke-free starting via a sophisticated
array of sensors for inlet air pressure, throttle position, crankshaft
position, rpm, water temperature and a vehicle down sensor. For
2010, another function has been added: An ignition cut-out will
not allow the Teryx to be ridden away when the parking brake
is engaged. That new braking system protection complements the
Teryxs CVT Belt Protection System, which, among other good things,
automatically retards ignition timing if the system detects engine
operation at high rpm for more than two seconds while the rear
wheels are motionless (i.e., the belt is slipping), and warns
the rider via a flashing belt warning lamp on the dash.
All that electronically enhanced performance is perfectly packaged
within an advanced chassis thats narrow enough to navigate most
trails (and fit in a standard pickup bed), yet wide enough to
offer a roomy cab and an excellent ride. The wide-track design
frame uses large-diameter, thin-walled tubing to combine tremendous
rigidity with light weight. The upper frame adds roll-over protection,
and theres enough room inside to fit two full-sized adults in
a comfortable but supportive pair of bucket seats with retractable
three-point seat belts.
Once comfortably strapped in, the rider can choose 2WD or 4WD
with the flip of a switch, and Kawasakis super-efficient continuously
variable transmission takes it from there, to practically anywhere
you feel like going. A cockpit-adjustable variable front differential
control even lets you fine-tune front-end traction.
Long-travel four-wheel independent suspension, adjustable Kayaba
gas-charged shocks at all four corners, a rear stabilizer bar
and mid-ship engine placement all work together to tame tough
trails, with a high-performance long A-arm double-wishbone suspension
design that reduces camber changes for sharp steering at all
times.
When its time to slow down, dual discs up front and a high-tech
sealed oil-bath braking unit out back get the job done with power
to spare, while Kawasaki Engine Braking Control uses clever electronics
to assist with engine braking on steep downhills. Specially designed
26-inch Maxxis tires designed for the Teryxs characteristics
are the final ingredient in its amazingly potent handling package.
A large selection of authentic Kawasaki Accessories are available
through Kawasaki dealers for the 2010 Teryx 750 FI 4x4. As with
all off-highway vehicle recreation, Kawasaki encourages RUV drivers
to drive responsibly and to respect the environment.
