Kawasaki Teryx
2012 Kawasaki Teryx 750 4x4
The Versatile, Reliable RUV for Work or PlayWith its wide
range of capabilties, the Teryx® 750 FI 4x4 recreation utility vehicle is the
perfect companion for work and play. Work chores highlight the Teryx engine’s
class-leading power and torque, while riders will appreciate the enhanced
throttle response and optimal performance of the digital fuel injection (DFI®)
as they blast down local trails. The fun, reliable Teryx proves to be a
gratifying ride.
The Teryx’s smooth, fuel-injected 749cc V-twin engine produces a prodigious
amount of torque, while its digital fuel injection system automatically adjusts
to match changing conditions. And its sport-tuned wide-body chassis offers a
wide track that helps provide a stable ride, but still allows the RUV to fit
into a standard pickup bed.
Durable and reliable power is the name of the RUV game, and nobody can touch the
Teryx’s 749cc 90-degree 8-valve V-twin. This engine is not only plenty powerful,
it’s 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 RUVs. Cooling system
mods made last year – a larger cooling fan for more airflow and a larger
diameter hose for more coolant flow – make the engine even more reliable.
The Teryx’s advanced digital fuel-injection system includes functions for
automatic altitude 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.
Also, an ignition cut-out won’t allow the Teryx to be ridden away when the
parking brake is engaged. The clever braking system protection 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 packaged within an advanced
chassis that’s narrow enough to navigate most 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. The upper frame adds roll-over
protection, and there’s 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, taking you practically anywhere you want to go. A
cockpit-adjustable variable front differential control even lets you fine-tune
front-end traction for slick or tricky terrain.
Long-travel four-wheel independent suspension, adjustable Kayaba gas-charged
shocks at all four corners, a rear stabilizer bar and mid-ship engine placement
all work together to tame tough trails, with a high-performance long A-arm
double-wishbone suspension design that reduces camber changes for sharp steering
and excellent wheel control at all times. When it’s time to slow down, dual
discs up front and a high-tech sealed oil-bath braking unit out back get the job
done with power to spare, while Kawasaki Engine Braking Control uses clever
electronics to assist with engine braking while driving down hills. Specially
designed 26-inch Maxxis tires designed specifically for the Teryx are the final
ingredient in its amazingly agile and stable handling characteristics.
A large selection of authentic Kawasaki Accessories are available through
Kawasaki dealers for the 2012 Teryx 750 FI 4x4. As with all off-highway vehicle
recreation, Kawasaki encourages RUV drivers to drive responsibly and to respect
the environment.

Special Graphics Edition Teryx™ 750 FI 4x4
These unique new immersion graphics packages offer a unique diamond plate
pattern that is chemically bonded to colored basecoat paint. The finished
product offers a durable, high-gloss, automotive quality surface that looks
similar to anodized aluminum diamond plate, but is actually smooth to the
touch and easy to clean.

New colors and models have been added to the lineup:
2009 Kawasaki Teryx 750 FI with Kawasaki Accessories
New Digital Fuel Injection system
- High output 750cc twin engine now has digital
fuel injection, which enhances throttle response and
automatically adjusts for changes in temperature and
altitude
- The fuel injection system (controlled by a
32-bit CPU) continually monitors coolant
temperature, air intake temperature, throttle
position, air intake pressure, vehicle speed and
crankshaft angle to automatically meter out the
ideal amount of fuel via two 34mm throttle bodies
for extremely stable power delivery – regardless of
the conditions
- Instantaneous fuel delivery from the fuel
injection makes its response sharper than ever
- FI systems permits easy engine starting at low
temperature and utilizes an Automatic Idle Speed
Control and Automatic Fast Idle function to ensure a
smooth engine warm up
- The high-pressure fuel pump located inside the
tank features a unique reservoir chamber at the
bottom of the fuel pump to ensure air does not get
into the fuel system
- Specific Teryx-sized throttle bodies and revised
ignition timing have increased low and mid-range
torque as well as improved response at higher rpm
- Revised ignition timing when in reverse combined
with low-speed operation and deceleration FI
settings better enable the engine to deal with
increased moisture when driving in shallow water
Improved Continuously Variable Transmission
- Featuring high and low ranges, plus reverse, the
CVT provides a very direct feel from the engine, and
instantaneous acceleration – ideal characteristics
for sport riding
- Transmission utilizes a high-grade belt that’s
highly durable and designed to handle the high
output of the engine
- The CVT Belt Protection System better prevents
tire freewheel, has upgraded rock section
performance and less belt overloading by adding
Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) data into the system
- For better protection against water entry, the
intake and exhaust ducts were changed, with the new
exhaust duct opening located higher and the revised
intake duct flowing more air to the CVT for better
cooling
- Intake temperature reduced with heat shielding
on the exhaust pipe below the intake duct
New Airbox design
- Increasing air cleaner box volume and changing
the ducting shape and length lowered the noise level
near riders’ heads
Selectable Four-wheel-drive / Variable Front
Differential Control
- Rider can select two- or four-wheel-drive
operation by pressing a button located on the dash
- Electrically “selectable” 2WD/4WD system engages
instantly
- Limited-slip front differential reduces steering
effort under normal four-wheel drive operation,
while Variable Front Differential Control permits
rider to distribute torque equally to left and right
front wheels for maximum traction via a hand lever
located between the seats
- Rear wheels are locked and always turning
together for cornering control
Sport-focused Suspension
- High-performance,
single-chamber, adjustable
gas-charged Kayaba shocks offer
excellent fade-resistant damping
performance, even in hard
conditions, while providing 7.5
inches of travel
- Sport model
provides adjustable preload and
fully adjustable rebound and
compression damping.
All Models now come with
Tilt Bed
All Models now come with
Digital Gauge that includes Fuel
Level
