2011 Kawasaki Teryx® 750 FI 4x4 Sport
The Premium Hot Rod Side x Side with Maximum Performance Bumpy desert two-tracks. Rutted fire roads. Unpredictable backwoods trails. These are the native habitats of the Teryx® 750 FI 4x4 Sport, the hot rod of the Kawasaki Teryx recreation utility vehicle lineup. With its lightweight alloy wheels controlled by high-end, gas-charged shocks, the Teryx offers a superior level of wheel and chassis control, even through rough terrain. That control translates into more four-wheeling fun. The Teryx Sport’s piggyback-reservoir shocks are fully adjustable for spring preload, compression damping and rebound damping, meaning that riders can get the most out of this advanced suspension by tuning it to their desired settings. Shocks on all four wheels make quick work of rugged terrain. P Durable and reliable power is the name of the side x side game, and nobody can touch the Teryx Sport’s 749cc 90-degree 8-valve V-twin. This engine is not only plenty powerful, its also supremely smooth thanks to the 90-degree configuration’s perfect primary balance. This design offers unmatched smoothness at any rpm – and a great exhaust note that sets the Teryx apart from lesser side x sides. A robust cooling system with a large cooling fan and a large diameter hose make the engine even more reliable. The Teryx’s high-end suspension units are easy to appreciate even when you’re not moving. The aluminum-bodied gas-charged piggyback-reservoir shocks are fully adjustable for spring preload, compression damping and rebound damping for maximum tunability and control of its lightweight aluminum wheels. Each wheel is a whopping two pounds lighter a standard Teryx wheel, and this 8-pound difference in unsprung weight is easy to feel at speed. The Teryx Sport’s advanced digital fuel-injection system includes functions for automatic elevation compensation, automatic idle adjustment and easy, choke-free starting via a sophisticated array of sensors for inlet air pressure, throttle position, crankshaft position, rpm, water temperature and a vehicle down sensor. There’s also an ignition cut-out, which won’t allow the Teryx Sport to be ridden away when the parking brake is engaged. This braking system technology complements the Teryx’s CVT Belt Protection System, which, among other good things, automatically retards ignition timing if the system detects engine operation at high rpm for more than two seconds while the rear wheels are motionless (i.e., the belt is slipping), and warns the rider via a flashing belt warning lamp on the dash. All that electronically enhanced performance is perfectly packaged within an advanced chassis that’s narrow enough to navigate the gnarliest trails (and fit in a standard pickup bed), yet wide enough to offer a roomy cab and an excellent ride. The wide-track design frame uses large-diameter, thin-walled tubing to combine tremendous rigidity with light weight. And the upper frame adds great looks and protection, while providing enough room inside to fit two full-sized adults in a comfortable but supportive pair of bucket seats with retractable three-point seat belts. Once comfortably strapped in, the rider can choose 2WD or 4WD with the flip of a switch, and Kawasaki’s super-efficient continuously variable transmission takes it from there, to practically anywhere you feel like going. A cockpit-adjustable variable front differential control even lets you fine-tune front-end traction.
