  1. Hi I'm  a power sports tech and I'm Kawasaki certified. I'm very familiar with them.. including already having the privilege of rebuilding a engine in one... (not from normal wear and tear) But as for your question.. sadly  they are big  Bulky and do not have a very good turning radius and to top it off their underpowered to boot... and I'm not impressed with the whole two stage clutching  they got going. But as for good things.. they have  one of the best available heaters ( dual  thermostat set up heater gets hot faster then any other) factory accessorys are well made and fit well. Great suspension. Over all well built..

  2. Well it's been supercharged for about 2 years now. If I remember right I hit 100hp on e85 around 4 psi at the dyno, went to a smaller pulley / cleaned up the tune and made over 150 at 6 psi that day. I've went even smaller since then and  I'm hitting a little over 9 psi now.. Haven't been back to the dyno so current HP is unknown. I've broken axles and lots of u- joints but not the trans yet.. Most likely because my trans goes to diffs and not straight to the wheels.That and I don't launch it, knowing what I'm demanding from a "kei car" drive train.  But now my regard for it's well being is gone with  the k20 and 6 speed trans is waitin... LOL.

  3. Nice!  I'm going the same route myself with my trooper. I've supercharged the chery on a Haltech Elite 1500 ECU, custom intake w/ 42mm throttle body,93/E85 flex fuel... I'm in the process of finding its limit..  My K20 swap is on a pallet waitin for the pop! LOL. 

  4. I had weak moments I'd say..  where I considered if I should have gone a different route.. And thought of acting on it a few times too..  But instead of trading I changed the Trooper to better it in the areas where it was lacking! And what my Trooper has become today is something hard to beat.. It turns heads and is a animal on trails and hill climbs! 

    Upgrades:

    · Custom Electric power steering w/ 2:1 steering quicker

    · Hand crafted aluminum intake w/22mm larger throttle body

    · Port & polished

    · Hand built Intercooled supercharger kit

    · Haltech elite 1500 ECU w/ wideband controller & custom tune

    · Haltech smart coils & Audi 1.8T injectors

    · Lowered diffs w/ skid plates

    · Fox air shocks all around

    · 30" Sun-f power tires on Sedona beadlocks

    ·  LED headlights, lightbar, clearance lights and rock lights.

  5. Sorry guys been lookin all over and can't fine the 📦's.... But From what I can remember they were from Moose meant for a early to mid-2000s Can-Am Commander / Defender. Fit Perfect in the arm but you had to make the knuckles hole about 1 mm larger. I'll keep lookin for the box..

  6. I would go for a Honda Pioneer 5 1000. Make sure it's had the transmission campaign/recall done if its older than a  2018. I'm a Honda /Motorsport Tech and that trans upgrade is important but, Other than that the Pioneer is a great unit! Theres also the Kawasaki Mule pro-fxt with the 3-cylinder chery engine, it also has a folding rear seat that enlarges the bed area and also is a good unit. I personally prefer the honda especially if you like to trail ride when not using it as a work unit. I would say the honda is a more trail capable unit and is much faster..

  7. Buy the 1000-5.. You won't be disappointed!! I got a buddy with a 2017 and its been a beast of a machine!! Powerful and fast for the rated power stock!! Keeps up with my other buddy's tuned and piped RzR1000 in speed and off-road capabilities no problem! He's got 3000 hard miles on and it still feels brand new! Some videos with it on my youtube..

  8. I don't know where you can get a direct fit kit..  But I built the power steering for my Joyner Trooper out of a Chevy 02-07 Vue /  05-06 Equinox electric power steering rack and a controller kit both available on eBay.. The kit gives you a knob on the dash allowing you to control the strength of the power steering assist. Seeing that yours is a electric vehicle, You just have to make sure that you have a good solid 12v source to power everything.

So at speed with the combination of the quickener and power steering my buggy becomes real Twitchy.. LOL!  But, I just turn the knob down and it's good!
