newbie with questions

xbrad9r · 07-24-2006

hey everyone...

just bought a 2000 model Mule 2500 with no owners manual or paperwork and have a couple of questions...

what type and weight oil does it need (and how many quarts does it hold)?

is it supposed to "grind" a little when you put it in forward or reverse or is there somehting i need to adjust?

thanks in advance for any help. i love the mule so far, rode it about three hours yesterday in the woods behind my parents house where i used to ride dirt bikes growing up.

10/40 should work for ya, I'm not sure on amount. Your idle might be a little high. I know with my 3010 if my idle is slightly high it grings when I put it into gear.

thanks Fric...
i just ordered an owners manual from Beartooth Kawasaki (one of the site sponsors) it was about $7 less than my local dealers.

I turned the idle down and it still "grinds" occasionally but not as bad as it was.
