Why does my Kawasaki 4WD make a clunking noise?

It has since progressed into a constant knocking noise and clunk feeling from under the floor whenever its in 4wd. Riding around in 2 its totally smooth and quiet.

Light use hauling manure on a horse farm and plowing the drive in the winter. It was back to the dealer numerous times for service under warranty, they never were able to get to the bottom of things.

Why is my Kawasaki UTV SxS idle problem?

People who live in a hot climate run into this type fuel related problem because of the faster evaporation of the fuel. And no, don’t blame it on old gas….i’ve run engines on 2 yo old gas with no problem. I take motors that won’t run and “fix” them easily with this method if it’s a fuel problem.

Why is the idle jetting foul on a Kawasaki MULE?
