This summer we picked up a new UTV for the farm, here is a quick rundown of its' performance so far! Link to specs and details: www.kawasaki.com/en-us/side-x...
I have a 2008 4010 equipped with a winch, roof, windshield front and back, heated seats, front light bar, cube lights in the rear and floor mats including the bed. No issues whatsoever! Just regular maintenance and running premium gas. Replaced the tires to 28" x 10's ! No lift and gained almost 3.5" of ground clearance. The machine is a workhorse! Commercial built for work. I also have a 2022 model exactly like yours, but full Curtis cab, winch, aux lights, heater, sound bar, floor and bed mats. I love Kawasaki Mules! My only suggestion would be to add CVT boot protection or you'll be replacing the rubber boots periodically.
I have a 2016 4010 SE 4X4 and the front storage compartment latch knob is a problem. It is merely a knob and is difficult to pull back sufficiently due to how much tension is on the latch springs. It should have been made in a "D" configuration. Keep a close check on your oil dipstick. Check it regularly as they will rust due to insufficient crankcase ventilation. I replaced mine once and last year it broke and the majority of the dipstick is lodged in the tube and I haven't had a chance to get it out of there. Stainless steel dipstick is around $40.That is the only problem I have had with mine. I have it loaded with accessories. Besides a 3500# winch, I installed the Kawasaki electric bed lift and the heavy duty trans/differintial skid plate. When mine was brand new I had to really press on the brake pedal to stop. I t akes a little while for the drum brakes to get broke in. Mine will stop very quickly now. I speed checked it the other day with a phone spedometer app and it will do a whopping 22 MPH which is ok for the suspension limits and terrain I use it in. It would be nice if it could be turned up to 35 though.
Like the video. Doesn't sound that loud? Do you run it without ear protection? Also wonder why no roof or windshield? Also weather, how is it in the cold?
It's not very loud, very comfortable to run without hearing protection. We needed to stay under $15k so didn't add the roof or windshield, possibly will at some point. It runs well even in the sub-zero temps we've had recently, but not comfortable to drive.
Are your brakes really bad? Just got a 2024 4010 Trans and the brakes are basically useless. Do they burn in/improve over time or need adjustment? Thanks!
We haven't made any adjustments. It seems like they are better than at first, but could be that we are getting used to them. I know I don't trust them on steep inclines, definitely drive smart with this one.

Suspension is smooth, very comfortable from that point, but we don't ride fast on rough terrain. Seats are nothing to brag about, soft enoungh but not meant for a lot of time in the saddle.

Glad to hear, maybe we can add accessories over time. The worst part is I don't get any drive time, everyone loves to drive it!😅
Good stuff! Can’t wait to fill it with deer!!
