Hello to all from California. Got a call from the dealer today and was informed that they finally got a Kubota RTV520 for me. Looking forward to being on this forum.

Dunno how much you know about code readers. But they only read codes that are actually there. Making their usefulness somewhat limited. Some problems don't generate any codes. That's why you need one that does live data. It'll tell you exactly what the engine is doing. Still quite a challenge to figure out what's not right, but since all the information is there, it becomes a matter of going through it, and finding out what's out of place. I just don't want you to spend a significant amount of money, thinking it's an instant solution. It's not an end all be all, that just gives you an instant solution. Instead, live data is a lot of gibberish to the non mechanically inclined of us who don't fully understand the information stream it provides. But it's accurate information, you just have to take it one line at a time, and figure it out.

My opinion is, that it'll be far cheaper in the long run, to get the code reader now. Throwing parts at it, will only make you angrier. Last time I looked, the factory sold a code reader for these machines. It was several hundred dollars. But there are cheaper delphi readers available. You just need the right plug to connect it. Other forum members have done this. I'm sure that I read a thread, just in the last week or so, that named a specific brand reader as an affordable option. I think you should start a thread, to find out any information about the cheap Delphi code readers, that might work with your machine. It has to have the right plug, or it's useless till you get that specific plug in that matches yours. Take that information, and go from there.

here's one of the issues on the 610 and SX's https://www.kawasakimotorcycle.org/threads/mule-610-spewing-oil.98229/ If i recall there was also another deal located somewhere underneath the mule that has to do with the charcoal evap canister and if it freezes up it'll choke out the engine due to no air being able to vent out from the tank.
