Awesome! This is the type review I've been looking for. So many people will review a machine after 2 or 300 miles, but a 10,000 mile review is priceless. Thanks!
10000 miles, unreal. nice to see how well the engine and trans hold up . I am on my 2nd krx hope to keep this one long term and rack up the miles myself.
Thanks for the update. I was beginning to wonder where you were. I finally took the plunge and will be picking up my Polaris General XP 4 1000 in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to get rolling with the break in. Maybe one of these days we can meet up in your area. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming.
thanks and you enjoy your new machine..Ride safe!
Great review, I just purchased a 2022 KRX1000 can't wait to hit some of trails around Vail Az and more.
Thanks Ray! Good to hear from you and your Kawi is still at performing very well!
Thanks... Glad to be back.
Thanks for another great video! We picked up our new krx March 25 & love it. Safe riding to you!
Thanks, you too!
Picking up my 2023 KRX 1000 tomorrow, had roof, front rear bars and winch installed out the door. You give me hope that it will last. 28k is not cheap.
You paid alot man. But you will enjoy it
That thing has all the cool accessories. Nicely done. 👍
Thanks 👍
Thanks Ray
These are the best looking side by sides on the market in my opinion
Here from Doña Ana Mountains Group! God speed friend!
good to see you ride with max and wife again- we didnt even make 1 ride this year :-( - hopefuly in october ;-)
Thank you for the heads up👍 I got 9500 more miles till my Krx hits 10k miles. Have a good day🤙
Thanks, you too!
Thanks our machine is getting it's pdi at the dealer now and we will be picking it up soon
NICE!! Thanks for the view and share
Hey Ray, I live in Las Cruces too and just bought a 2020 KRX 1000. Maybe we'll see each other out in the Dona Ana mountains sometime!
Congratulations making to 10k miles! I’m thinking about buying the 4 seater for my family.
You should!
Has most of your miles been slower speeds varying speeds under 40 mph or so?
The only ATV batteries I've found that last are Polaris batteries. Last 3-4 times longer than parts house batteries when I plug in my battery tender before cold snaps and after using a weed sprayer. This one is 8 years old. Lol
I’ve got one that is 9 years old!
Congrats! 10,000 miles on any SXS is a great accomplishment! The Kawasaki is turning out to be a very good choice for you. Do you miss the Talon at all?
Not really, Talon was nice, but I really love the KRX. Thanks
What dealer took care of repairs? Are you happy with them?
Yamaha's YXZ seems even more reliable but quite a different machine. The KRX has more comfy suspension and is great for slower speed rock crawling.
Nephew bought one rod bolt broke blew up they fought him hard on warranty but did get new motor!!!
sorry to hear that. Glad they got him a new motor. As for myself, I have not had an issue with Kawasaki. Thank you for the comment and the view. thx
Is this the same engine that kawasaki put in their 2024 mule 1000 ? Thanks
Hey Ray.. great video, we have been considering getting a side by side.... i love your videos they are so in depth . your audio is great too the scenery you capture truly makes off roading seem like an escape from our daily busy lives... do you recommend any local sellers? what about pre owned?
right now they are hard to come by. Hesters Motorsports in Raton NM would be my go to right now.
Have you ever changed wheel bearings or do you grease them? And how about brake pads? Very impressive Ray and thanks for the videos. I think I'm going to sell my pro xp4 now that kawi released the 4 seater.
Have not. Brake pads are fine, I’m not hard on them with the engine braking, you don’t put a ton of stress on the brain.
Hey Ray, great stuff! Question, why did you switch to the KRX from the Talon? It seems you didn't have the Talon very long. Maybe you had a video on it, just haven't come across it yet. Just researching and those two are the top picks for me when we eventually get one.
Talon had complete engine failure, check my main channel you will see the full story. Was a nightmare
Thanks for the view and comment
love all the info, i live in Las Cruces and was thinking about getting a krx , can you recommend a dealer
Unfortunately we’re limited in our area, Las Cruces Motorsports is the only dealer here in town that carries anything beyond Polaris there’s also a dealer in Elpaso Texas which is about 50 miles away call Viva Powersports
Surprised no mention of sheaves grooving.
krx just needs a 4 seat model
It’s here!!!
7 months, hit 20k yet? LOL you sure can rack up the miles. KRX vs Talon which do you prefer?
Just bought the 2022 trail edition. I have a ? for you, on the 600 mile service to lube the spline shaft & cv boot to lube. My dealer says it is an all day job which would be $$$. Did you do this every 600 miles.
10k that's awesome 🇺🇸
I have 2300 miles on my KRX
Right on
Better than most American side by sides. Polaris and Can Am are cool and powerful machines but holy crap the quality and reliability is junk.
@@AQS521 Can Am is Canadian.
@@cleverusernamecl5532 I stand corrected then. However I still consider them junk
@@AQS521 ok?...
Good morning Ray,
question, when I put my car into 4 wheel drive i feel a a humming feel as soon as it engages, do you feel anything like that?
Thanks Carl
Yes I do, very normal with the additional drive components working. Something not related to your question. Just FYI I had a major problem with the Primary (CVT) system, will be releasing a video in the next few day if time allows. Thank for the view.
@@47rhorvath Thank you for that, good to know. It's funny you mention the primary CVT, I was having problems with the weights wearing out in just a few hundred miles, went through two sets of weights before contacting Kawasaki myself. They did replace" everything" regarding the primary and so far so good. Not sure if this is the problem you're having.
What motor oil are you using and your service Intervals. Thanks
Amsoil 3 times a year no matter the hours/miles. Great protection.
Thanks Ray, another great video. I have the KRX and love it, Dot the right coast weights seem to be holding up? I have replaced my weights with OEM but I don't think they are going to hold up, only put about 300 miles on them and I can feel light shifting issues already. Keep the videos coming we all learn a lot from you. Thanks....
Thanks for the view and the kind words
How are the clutch weights holding up??
So far so good, they are not stock. Switched them out about a year ago.
In the 10,000 miles that you drove it what was the maintenance you did regular oil changes and air filters and belts did you ever have issues with the valves or ever had to adjust them thanks Mike
only did the very 1st vale adjustment after break-in
tolerances have been fine since. But i do have them checked every other oil change.
@Ray Horvath Productions so they needed to be adjusted or they been fine can you make a video or do one on how to check them there's nothing out there
@@michaellindsay4762 I have it done by my service shop. I don't do it myself.
@@47rhorvath gotcha what's it usually cost these shops can charge alot and take advantage of people
Who did the clutch work? or is it pretty simple with a youtube video. Nice job.....
Throat Punch Performance here in Las Cruces NM
What size tires are those gladiators
32x10x15
Can you add BFG tires to a SxS?
yes you can
That’s an impressive run with very minimal repairs. Between your Teryx and this it’s looking like Kawasaki builds one heck of a machine. I hear the KRX is Big Guy friendly? Being 6’5” tall and a little chubby I haven’t found many side by side comfortable all day. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for the videos.
I am 6'3, 300 pounder and I can ride all day long. Not only does it have leg room the seats are like gel, I don't like getting out lol.
Man, this makes me consider a Kawi……
Hesters is closing!? I bought some elkas from him last fall for my teryx
HE MAY HAVE GOT WITH AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE???? JOHN YOU GOT ME MAN!!!!
I missed if you said what year yours is , tia
2020
Hey a little late but did you get it licensed to be street legal? I’m in NM too and looking at one of these.
it is in the city of Las Cruces. and on the New Mexico county roads, however the rules are different in some New Mexico cities.
Cool thanks
How many’s belts?
4 so far
GOT EEEEMM!!!! lol
You got me John!!
LOL!
How far are you from las cruces
We live in Las Cruces, that area is about 14 miles north
Seems like Kawasaki should address the clutch weights.
14 - 16 hours a day working wow how do you even find time to ride lol
tell me about it. When I do get a day off we like to ride most of the day.
Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to help you better driving, off-road. We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!
No spare tire?
No, Spare, just carry a plug kit and pump.
