Kawasaki Teryx 750 Product Review

Performance:

Performance will be next up. There are several bolt-on type improvements to be made – Exhaust, Intake, Fuel Controller will be Stage One. Then in Stage Two, we’ll get a bit more advanced.

Stage One – Performance Products we used:

• Air Filter – K&N Filters

• Breather – Custom Creations

• Radiator – PWR Performance

• Clutch Kit – EPI

Safety:

One of first steps is to address a few safety concerns with a stock Teryx.  This will include seats & harnesses, roll cage and half doors . We will also need some mirrors so we can see what is behind us in the dunes. HID lights so we can see  at night.

Products we used:

• Seats – PRP Seats

• Seat Bases – SDR Motorsports

• Harnesses/Restraints – Simpson Racing

• Side View Mirrors – Axia Alloys

• Rear View Panoramic Mirror –Axia Alloys

• Factory HID Replacement Lights -Burke Moto Pros

• Bumper – SDR Motorsports

• Spare tire mount –SDR Motorsports

Suspension:

The first part of our suspension upgrades will be focus solely on replacing our stock shocks.  We are looking to see how much improvement we can get out of the stock suspension and aftermarket shock upgrade.

• Shocks/Springs –Side by Side Racing Products

Second part of the suspension project will be to upgrade to a long travel kit (axles, a-arms, etc.). Addressing the suspension will not only make the Teryx more fun to drive and more capable, but will also make it more safer by increasing track width and wheel travel.

Products we used:

• Long Travel Kit – Funco

• Shocks – Sway-A-Way

• Axles – Funco

• Sway Bars – iTi Motorsports

• UHMW Skid Plate –  Factory UTV

• Beadlock Wheels – DWT

• Tires – Maxxis

Communication and Navigation:

Since we will be doing long desert rides in large groups, we will need communication equipment and GPS so we can stay on our route and communicate with other vehicles in our group.

Products we used:

• Two seat mobile radio & intercom – Rugged Race Products

• GPS (540C Lowrance GPS) – Side x Side Outfitterz

• GPS Mount (Roll Bar) -Side x Side Outfitterz

Bling and Other Fun Stuff:

• Plastic – Maier USA
