KRX discussion thread!

[BigOL3]

Not to change subjects, but earlier in this thread the Kawi was compared to the YXZ.
Now that the YXZ XTR is coming out, what do yall think? XTR has a new lower gearbox, larger wheel bearings, stainless brake lines.

We have set in the Kawi several times. I like its beef, but the finish was not Honda. We have been looking hard at the X3 RR RC...but i could almost buy 2 of the Kawis for one of those...

The wife hates the Pioneer for how tippy and open it feels.

Put a roof on it ...... lol

The pioneer will stay! It has earned its place in my stable! Other than the fuel injection wire and bent A arms, it has given us no issues. May have to pull cable in a place or two that longer machines dont, but it is a workhorse!

It has a roof... open as far as setting up and exposed, not down in the ride like a tube buggy...we met in the rock crawling scene and she prefers my rock crawler over the Pioneer.

 

[Superthrill]

Kilo, your thoughts on the issues mentioned here. I beleive the kawi will experience first year growing pains, but it definitely has my attention.

I got a question. Why did they put on 31? Wtf ya gonna do for a spare? On the other hand I'll bet it's the same tire as the 32 just a different stamp. I can't see a special line for 31" when Kawasaki wants a deal for buying 100,000 tires. Maybe that's why 32" carnivore were so back ordered???

Just like the Bighorn 2.0s that came on the Wolverine they are not available to the public. The 31s are not listed on the Maxxis website. The Wolverine came with junk bias 26X8X12 fronts and 26X10X12 rears. You couldn't buy those either. Maybe it's Maxxis's way of getting you to buy 4 new tires. I guess the 31s are available thru the dealer.

I'm saying I'll bet they measure the same as the 32 carnivore. They just changed the # on the sidewall. Be interested in finding out. Actually @snuffnwhisky and @Kilo427 can answer this.

I’m digging this spare tire carrier and tailgate box

 

[Superthrill]

Now if that tailbox was a cooler! That would be sweet!

When you can order enough of a tire you can get it how you want it... not Kawi is the only one you can get one from..

I like the tire carrier but I would likely never carry a spare or at least 90% of the time just carry a tube to put in the tire...

they have a tray that fits on top of too - not that you could not figure out another method

You could put your stuff you don't use as much on the tire carrier deal that raises and use a lower box for a cooler and more used items. Allows you to carry more items and still get to everything. I know the overhead carrier will hold up to a 35" tire but the shocks aren't strong enough to lift it. Basically it lift but when you let go it falls back down. Need to figure that out. Might want to carry spares when we go to Moab with them.

Really?
If You had a pool going I would put my money on "the same size as a 30".

Thought about saying a lot of other things but, watch the first 2 1/2 minutes of this:
