I concur with Cliffy, appears the angle is too extreme for the boots

My main parking brake cable snapped today, appears to be from excess corrosion. I would imagine this could be a safety issue if you were parked on a incline, thankfully i was done feeding for the day and and had just shut the mule off. Pulled the handle up an *snap*. Now it is 20 years old, so that probably had a role in this, but this thing was crusty. Got the new part ordered from the dealer, $11.91 including Tax. be interesting to see if the cable is galvanized or not. I'd check the condition of this cable if your mule is a little on the older side. 54005-1198 Assemblies where 54005-1198 is used 2007 & Prior MULE 2500 (KAF620-C5) - Cables 2007 & Prior MULE 2500 (KAF620-C6) -

Most Kawasaki shocks are adjustable for ride adjustment. Could you post a picture?

So they're tearing prematurely?

this is just my personal opinion formed from what i've read on internet forums about Massimo. they may be cheaper, but when they do break, you might have trouble Finding out the problem, & getting a repair part for the problem. if i were you, i would look into a used Kawasaki Mule or Polaris ranger of sorts. Dealers, parts and manufacturer support is more widely available. it's not too uncommon to find a 10 or 15 year old mule with 500 hours or less, which at that point, they're just wearing in good.

with a click that implies the starter solenoid is getting power. it's just not able to pass it through, 99% of the time its a faulty solenoid that needs replaced. next thing to do would be check battery voltage, at the battery and at the solenoid and be sure they're the same reading.

if it will start when only in park or the break is pressed it's was probably designed that way. most SxS have neutral safety switch(es) to prevent starting when in gear.

post some pictures if you can. you'll probably need to remove the carburetor and clean it thoroughly.

Im thankful we didn't lose power. Found out our power comes from Louisiana. According to our governor all the plants are working now and only issues remain are distribution line issues that the power companies have to take care of.

My guess would be is they were more concerned with heat than cold

tell me where you live and i'll come put the sharp screw in the dirt sticking up for ya', lol

As much as i disagree with green energy, there's one flaw in the ointment this time around, as canada's windmills operate in below zero temps and ice . i read on NBC, This year Winterization inspections were not done due to covid 19 on power plants and turbines.

So how can i fix my UTV? " we'll circle back"

I should started sewing big masks for people to put on their cars. Loops around the mirrors, and covers the radiator and grill.😁

Have to call it Click-21..

LOL! If it's rapid clicking it ain't getting enough juice for the solenoid to hold. If it just clicks 1 time when you turn the key something else possibly

Got the new cable installed. The old cable has green corrosion at both exposed ends. I notice the new cable is heat shrinked on both ends.

don't you hate it when a 5 min job turns into a 30 or 60 minute job. apparently i don't have the proper AWG bullet connector to splice in the small white + wire that goes to the keyswitch. i would cut off the new connector on the new wire, but i don't want to twist the wires and solder it, my soldering skills are worthless. a monkey could do better. so off to Willis to the parts store!

i use Rotella, supposedly has more zinc than delo, delo around 1200 PPM and rotella at 1300 ppm. at least thats what i read.

I doubt it's the solenoid lug , as i have. Tried 2 starters and 4 solenoids on it, but electricity is crazy sometimes. Yes i have made sure the stud isn't coming loose on the solenoid and have tried wiggling the connection while holding the key in start. Not sure if I have tried it in the ccw manner you mentioned so ill give that a shot. Thanks!

when it's cold outside i usually let the mule idle for about 2 minutes, that gives me time to load up the feed and whatnot. when i carry alot of feed or a heavy load i try to not to go too slow, since the engine is air cooled, air cooled engines cool best at higher RPM and a heavier load will make it work harder heat up more. i also quit using automotive oil in it and either use Kawasaki Engine division oil or Diesel engine oil.

It must be about pull something on you

New cable just got delivered. Looks better than the original one. It's sleeting right now so ill put it on tomorrow. Another Plus on the part number tag it says Made In USA 🇺🇸

my + cable is out for delivery. funny thing, my starter (or whatever is causing the problem) has not acted up in almost a week, however if you read Joe Breaux's thread "BRRR" i said my fuel pump froze up, and at that time i was cranking it over several times checking for pulse, at the pump and it did act up then and clicked several times after repeated short cranks... not saying its related to the pump, but cranking it over that much in that short period, i wonder if the cable isn't able to carry the load of thats being drawn repeatedly in that short time.
