Introduction
Camouflaged and fuel injected,
this RUV is read for serious outdoor adventure
For 2009, the mold-breaking Kawasaki Teryx™ 750 FI 4x4 LE
Camo takes the next evolutionary step with the addition of digital
fuel injection. Like all Teryx LE models, the 750 FI 4x4 LE Camo
includes standard retracting cup holder, a half-windscreen and
a cab roof. Wrap it all in Kawasaki's Realtree™ Hardwoods
Green® HD camouflage and the RUV world will never see what
hit it.
A wide chassis, big V-twin power, efficient CVT, superior ground
clearance, impressive cargo capacity and sport handling made
the original Teryx one of the most talked-about RUVs on the planet.
The addition of a new digital fuel-injection (DFI) system to
its mid-mounted 749cc 90-degree V-twin engine, helps add even
more fun and utility to the Teryx, giving it a clear edge over
its rivals.
The enhanced response provided by the Teryx's new digital fuel
injection system means its strong and proven V-twin engine is
quicker-revving than ever. Kawasaki engineers kept much of the
engine's likeable character when they added DFI, but still found
ways to improve it such as changing the ignition timing
to boost low and mid range torque and improve response at higher
rpm. Other inherent benefits gained from adding DFI include automatic
altitude compensation, automatic idle adjustment and easy, choke-free
starting.
The fuel injection system's sophisticated array of sensors includes
an inlet air pressure, throttle position, crankshaft position,
rpm, water temperature and a vehicle down sensor. As part of
the DFI upgrade, the Teryx 750 FI 4x4 LE Camo also received a
new fuel tank with an internal fuel pump.
Mated to the engine is Kawasaki's superb continuously variable
transmission (CVT), which transfers the smooth power and quick
response from the big V-twin to the wheels smoothly and quickly.
The healthy output of this powertrain provides true sport performance,
in a controlled manner that allows the driver to harness the
full potential of this impressive vehicle. The CVT also received
refinements for 2009. Both the intake and exhaust cooling ducts
were revised to better prevent water or mud from entering the
drive belt area. The new intake duct flows air to the CVT more
effectively for better cooling while the intake air temperature
is reduced via heat shielding on the exhaust pipe located below
the intake duct.
Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) data was added to the CVT Belt
Protection System's sensor inputs. Other inputs include a gear
sensor (not in neutral), vehicle speed (measured from the rear
wheel), and engine speed. The extra input permits the system
to better prevent tire freewheel and offer upgraded rock section
performance with less belt overloading. Should the system detect
engine operation at high rpm for more than two seconds while
the rear wheels remain motionless (i.e. rear wheels are immobilized
and the belt is slipping), it automatically retards ignition
timing and warns the rider via a flashing belt warning lamp.
Power is nothing without control - big power demands a chassis
to compliment it and once again the Teryx delivers with an ideal
body width that is narrow enough to be useful and able to navigate
the trail, yet wide enough to offer a roomy cab and additional
stability. The wide track Teryx design exploits a large-diameter,
thin-walled tubular frame offering the necessary rigidity without
performance draining weight. It also meets SAE regulations as
a roll-over protective structure (ROPS) with an arrangement spacious
enough to comfortably fit two full-sized adults.
The Teryx 750 FI 4x4 LE Camo shares the long A-arm and narrow
frame concept of its sport brethren to give it the maximum travel
while minimizing wheel camber change. For 2009, the adjustable
Kayaba gas-charged shocks have revised settings combined with
a new stabilizer bar to improve ride quality. Combined with the
mid-ship engine, the balanced package offers superb control and
cornering performance, even at top speed.
When the terrain requires it, the driver can activate 4WD with
a simple servo-control switch. Further traction management is
achieved via an ATV-style front differential control activated
with a hand lever that functions like a rear hand brake and lets
the driver select how much the wheels are locked together. The
rear wheels stay locked and always turn together - much like
a sport ATV - allowing the RUV to slide around corners easier
in a drift style.
It continues its dominance in the field with 26-inch Maxxis tires
developed specifically for the Teryx that enable superb forward
and sliding traction. The tall tires offer good rough terrain
handling and contribute to its class leading ground clearance
and ability to overcome obstacles.
A powerful RUV wouldn't be much fun without equally capable stopping
power and Teryx 750 FI 4x4 LE Camo delivers. It employs a combination
of dual 200mm discs up front and a sealed wet brake in the rear.
The front brakes are tucked into the wheels for protection from
debris and their 27mm twin-piston calipers are rigid-mounted
for optimum feel and control. The advantage of the sealed rear
brake is most apparent when it's able to keep working even in
the wettest or muddiest of environments. Its compact profile
further adds to the remarkable amount of ground clearance.
Of course, this substantial performance is matched by Kawasaki's
legendary durability and reliability that starts on the surface
- tough Thermo-Plastic Olefin (TPO) bodywork covered with Realtree™
Hardwoods Green® HD camouflage, that is. Skid plates help
shield the Teryx engine and undercarriage from ride stopping
obstacles. For the trip to and from the ride spot, the LE sports
a stronger roof that is more resistant to wind gusts when transporting
at highway speeds.
Inside, bucket seats and retractable three-point seat belts help
the driver and passenger stay relaxed; the Teryx 750 FI 4x4 LE
Camo has plenty of shoulder and leg room to provide a comfortable
ride. Rider comfort and conveniences are enhanced with a half-windshield
and dual retractable cup holders. It also a steering wheel that
is positioned low for better driver control. Standard equipment
on all Teryx models, the multi-function digital meter adds a
fuel gauge and parking brake indicator to the hour meter, clock,
odometer, dual trip meters and warning lights.
Don't mistake it for just a camouflaged play toy, the Teryx 750
FI 4x4 LE Camo has working skills too. Its standard 500-pound
capacity, gas-assisted tilting cargo bed is ideal for recreational
users, yet versatile enough for work and hauling. A cargo net
and tie down hooks in all four corners keep the goods secure.
Its 1300-pound towing capacity expands those cargo abilities
further. Just what any rugged outdoorsman needs, whether he's
heading out or coming back from a successful hunt.
The action isn't limited to daylight hours only thanks to dual
40W headlights showing the way and dual rear taillights letting
it be seen. A 7.4-gallon fuel tank allows the Teryx to operate
longer so the journey isn't cut short either. With such a cargo-carrying
and transportability potential, it is an able partner for leisure/recreation
activities, such as camping, hunting or day trips.
A large selection of authentic Kawasaki Accessories are available
for the 2009 Teryx 750 FI 4x4 LE (Camo) through Kawasaki dealers.
As with all off-highway vehicle recreation, Kawasaki encourages
RUV drivers to drive responsibly and to respect the environment.
