Get ready to pay for parts. 4 quarts oil and 2 sparkplug $105.00 Starter went out at 200 hrs $600.00 No break from dealer even though they KNEW ABOUT the Starter problem.
I have two important questions that I consider with every possible UTV. Noise Level & Engine Heat Shielding. Can you carry on a conversation with the passenger? And is there enough heat shielding to prevent a hot seat and cab area?
How about the new 54 Horsepower engine? I’m going to guess that has a lot to do with it? Also seat sidebars, headache rack and bench seat are changes made over the last few years. Has the gas pedal been updated since the last time in 2020 or 2021?
Mine has serious oil contamination with gas and water. Has been in the shop 6 weeks and Kubota doesn't have an answer. Don't waste your money on one because Kubota doesn't care.
Im 6’2 . I love my sidekick . I had to add a 2x4 block in front of the gas pedal to rest my foot on to make it comfortable . Also a 2 inch lift kit and 2 inch wheel spacers make my machine extra badass . I have a full 12 inch ground clearance now
My 2022 sidekick is junk. Bad Gas and water contamination of the crankcase oil. Been in the shop a month now with a warranty claim and dealer can not get help from the kubota rep to find the problem and a solution. Seems the 850 engines have a problem that can only be solved by throwing parts at them and Kubota is ignoring that. Don't waste your money on the sidekick look for a side by side from a reputable company that specializes in them. My buddybought a Ranger when I bought the sidekick and he has had zero problems and at 25 hours mine has been ib the shop a month with Kubota not caring..
@@glennllewellyn7369 Still having the same problems with no answer. dealer says run it hard with the gas on the oil and try to blow it up so Kubota has to do something $18k wasted.

Is there an upgrade a 2022 and older Sidekick owner can do to fix this issue?
Great Information!

When will you be making a video of the Sidekick 850 in the color Store Grey?
As soon as we are shipped one, we will make a video!
@@kubotaoflynchburgOkay Awesome!
@@kubotaoflynchburgThank You!
Is the turf tires on the orange one an option?
Yes. I think they are called "Work site" tyres.
Why did they go to the Kubota Engine?
Can someone over 6 foot drive this unit without being cramped?
It will be perfectly comfortable for someone of that height!
