Kawasaki Teryx 750 4x4 Fi Sport
RUV/SxS in grey & red |
Think of the 2011 Kawasaki Teryx™ 750 FI 4x4 Sport as the hot rod of Kawasaki’s
Recreation Utility Vehicle (RUV) family.
The Teryx Sport is ready for serious off-road
fun right out of the box, with clues to
its substantial performance in plain sight
– lightweight alloy wheels controlled
by high-end multi-adjustable, gas-charged
shocks. The uprated suspension and wheels
extend the Sport’s off-road ability
by delivering a high degree of wheel and
chassis control even through seriously rough
terrain. So whether you’re hammering
along a rocky, bumpy desert two-track or
hightailing it on a narrow, bumpy trail
in the woods, the Sport makes short work
of the nasty terrain so drivers can focus
on the fun. It all starts with the Teryx
Sport’s smooth and powerful fuel-injected
V-twin engine and sport-tuned chassis, a
technology package that launched the model
to the top of the sport-oriented Recreational
Utility Vehicle heap when it first appeared.
Upgraded last year in several ways, including
new front-end styling, a forward-tilting
hood, improved engine cooling, an even
sturdier tilting bed out back and a host
of detail improvements, the Teryx Sport
is sure to remain a favorite.

| By
using aluminum wheels on the Teryx
Sport - Kawasaki was able to save
8 plus pounds on th standard Teryx
models - this means less unsprung
weight for more power and speed |
Durable and reliable power is the name
of the RUV game, and nobody can touch
the Teryx Sport’s 749cc 90-degree
eight-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 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 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 2 pounds lighter a
standard Teryx wheel, and this 8-pound
difference in unsprung weight is easy
to feel at speed.

| The
Kawasaki Teryx Sport 750 Fi 4x4
front & rear suspension does
all the leg work when it comes to
soaking up the big hits, they are
full adjustable with spring preload,
compression damping & rebound
damping so you can adjust them to
your preference |
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.

| The
advanced wide-body chassis on the
Kawasaki Teryx 750 Sport RUV will
keep you securely planted over the
roughest open terrain yet is narrow
enough for tight trails & transportation
with a standard size pick-up truck |
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 two-wheel drive or four-wheel
drive 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.
Long-travel independent suspension, those
fully adjustable gas-charged shocks at
all four corners, a rear stabilizer bar
and mid-ship engine placement all work
together to tame tough trails, while a
high-performance long A-arm double-wishbone
suspension design reduces camber changes
for sharp steering 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 when driving
down hills. Custom 26-inch Maxxis tires
designed for the Teryx’s characteristics
are the final ingredient in its amazingly
potent handling package.
A large selection of authentic Kawasaki
Accessories are available through Kawasaki
dealers for the 2011 Teryx 750 FI 4x4
Sport RUV. As with all off-highway vehicle
recreation, Kawasaki encourages RUV drivers
to drive responsibly and to respect the
environment.
