Default New forum for the Teryx

Here we are, with Kawi's new product the Recreation Utility Vehicle, a subsection dedicated to it, its use, maintenance and joys (don't forget pics) was an obvious choice.

It's Kawi's response to the Yammi Rhino 660.

Ya, actually I think its closest competition is the Rzr.

Nonetheless, right now it is the Side x Side to have...now if we could just get a fuel gauge, lol.

Having a fuel gauge that worked with the digital dash would be a major plus.

I think the RZR would be a little better for play, at least looks to be lower center of gravity. better for cornering.

thing I don't like about the RZR is the overly sensitive throttle. you can't keep a steady speed even on a flat parking lot.

another thing I don't like about it is it's a polaris.

I had nothing bad to say about it, until I saw what happens to the frames on even some of the smaller jumps. The wall thickness in the frame is very small.

I think I will stick with my Teryx.

we sent three (RZRs) out and all three were upside down within two hours after getting to their new homes. hadn't heard of any issues of weak frames. I have been out of that shop for a while now though.
