How to increase the top speed of a Kawasaki MULE?
An easy way to increase the top speed of your Kawasaki Mule is to make sure that the tires are fully inflated — the flatter your tires are, the slower you’ll go. Disabling the governor is another action you can take to reach faster speeds.
When did the first Kawasaki MULE come out?
The original concept of what would eventually become the very first Kawasaki MULE was drawn up in 1980. Eight years after the initial concept was drawn up, the first Kawasaki MULE hit the market. The MULE 1000 was powered by a liquid-cooled 454cc twin-cylinder engine and featured a rear differential lock feature.
When does Kawasaki Mule need clutch and belt maintenance?
A quick way to know your are due for clutch and belt maintenance is if the Mule shudders when it is pulling a heavy load from a stop. If shuddering is present, it is time to open up the torque converter and carefully inspect everything before tweaking the idle to levels below that recommended by Kawasaki.
What causes a mule to pop out of gear?

How to increase the top speed of your Kawasaki UTV?
Like with the Teryx and Mule, a tune will increase the top speed of your Kawasaki KRX. And as far as KRX tunes go, the Alba tune is among the best. That being said, however, although you’ll see a greater throttle response and quicker accelerations with a KRX tune, some additional clutch work will be required to hit faster top speeds.
Why does my belt squeal when I idle my bike?
When the clutch sheaves, for some reason, is grabbing the belt slightly when it should not, you get a belt squeal. It’s the friction between rubber and metal is that is causing the characteristic squealing sound. Along with the squealing sound at idle, the bike may be having the following symptoms:
