Teryx4 800 - Initial Impressions

sorry Chris, I thought Scott was cool...keep us posted on that beast...praise Jesus! he will get it in the end

on my prairie when you got water in the belt you put in neutral and gave it gas till it was dry ...worked great.

poolaris is the same way at leat on the sportsmans no drains but like james said we used to just put it in neutral an rev them up till the water was out. always worked

Scott, how dare you come into MY OWN FORUM and bring that logic?

I know ,  the cage wouldn't have had the "new" smell , like the T4...   Those are nice rides , a friend of mine just got one about a month ago...I was impressed with how much leg room the rear seats had :and , how comfortable all of them were.  Wasn't a fan of how you had to lift your foot , from the go pedal , to the whoa pedal tho...I'd say you'd prob get used to that pretty quickly.

Got 6 hours on it now. I love the ride quality and the power steering!

nice ranch...how many acres? deff need some bigger tires

Thanks!
We got about 400 acres of pasture land. It was once farm land but granddad switched to cattle in the 60s. It's pretty boring property (no water or hill).

awesome man, that kinda land only exists in TX, must be nice to putt around on the ranch and not worry about the popo

which reminds me of a time when my brother thought he would try to force cattle into a trailer using his race quad (Suzuki on alcohol thats been to Japan 2 times to race...MEAN thing!)  He almost got it done...but the funny part was the trailer was up where they feed and we all know what cows do when they eat.  Thats right boys and girls they crap and piss.  So anyone who has been around cows knows the "mud" that is around the feeding lots.  Well imagine a fire breathing quad SHOOTING crap and pee 20 feet in the air spinning around trying to cut back to get a cow into a trailer.  You can only imagine how covered and dripping he was with that "stuff" when i finally got him to shut it down and give up on that dumb idea.  I think I hurt myself from laughing so hard.  "It" was in in hair on his face and everywhere...It was much like a circus monkey .....entertaining but at the end of it all not productive at all.

LMAO    now that's a truly shitty situation  ,  hope he had water hole nearby   

get building this thing, you build write ups are great.

There are some things I really like about the Teryx. It is built heavy, no doubt. I suppose that is a good thing and a bad thing. It doesn't feel cheap or flimsy at all. But on the other hand, she is a big girl - just under 1600lbs curb weight according to Kawasaki.

I feel dirty saying this but I have been doing some reading about some VForceJohn tuning. He sells a Power Commander V with coding that unlocks the 50MPH speed limit in high and the 30MPH limit in low range. He's got a few videos up of a stock Teryx4 800 running 64MPH with just the PC-V on flat ground. He also does clutch sheave machining. See why I feel so dirty? I got to check it out because I'm way out of my element in the Kawasaki world.

I haven't had too much of a chance to put a bunch of miles on my new Teryx as it has been cold for us Texas boys down here. We get stove up when the weather gets below 55-60F.
 

One last thought, my Teryx came with 26" Bighorn 2.0 tires. For some reason, they aren't what I thought they'd be. I absolutely loved the OG Bighorns on my Rhino: the 26x9 all skinny combo, the 30x10 set, and the 26" skinny-wide combo there at the end. Either the weight of this Teryx or the tread of the 2.0 version or some combination of the two just doesn't work for me. I really do not like these tires one bit. I have not been impressed with these Bighorn 2.0.

I'm getting the Gorilla 2" stage 1 lift and looking real hard at tires. I have a strong desire to go with some regular Outlaws on the stock 12" aluminum wheels. I think this could be a real fun buggy down in the creek blasting some tunes and forging through the sand and water...

Thanks for letting me hang around here.
