Looking for information on how to deal with this problem, I am a bit vague right now until

I find out how Kawasaki Canada, or my dealer is going to handle the problem.

Kawasaki Canada puts all the responsibility on your Dealer to satisfy the Customer. My Mule had 33 hrs on it, never in 4X4 mode and Crank Bearing went. As far as Kawasaki is concerned, they fix it the cheapest possible way.

I bought machine to hunt with, day before season starts motor went. The way I think and maybe I am wrong, Kawasaki or Dealer would jump at the chance to help and offer a Loaner or Demo Machine until mine was fixed. Not even a sorry, or a return of a phone call.

I missed hunting season, I am looking at, at least a month for it to be ready. I think, there's a problem........ and not much as a consumer that we can do about it. A Change, and try somebody else I guess.

Just got off the phone From My Dealer... NORDAN EQPMT Telkwa BC.

With Dan's pressure on the BC Kawasaki Rep, and also BC Rep understanding, They are going to replace my Mule with a new one...

it seem's nobody has had a Motor Failure with the 4010 Mule.

I should Have a NEW one in my yard within a week. I Have not Found a better working Machine anywhere.... Polaris RZR vrs 4010 Mule

is like comparing Apples with Oranges, all machines have there use and value.

Kawasaki Canada, Toronto, customer service could get off her script, and really look after her customer.....answering the phone or returning a call could be a start.

      I have a 2007 Joyner 1100 sand viper and  before it even get's to where the thermostat opens up the oil pressure get's so low I have to shut it down. What could fix this ? I thought about adding an oil cooler with fan, thicker oil, or removing the thermostat. Any advice?

      I bought a 2017 Stampede 900 last fall that was new, old stock with less than 5 hours on it thinking that I would be getting a relatively trouble free UTV as compared to buying a used Polaris or CanAm, or Honda, etc. It's been a little quirky, but reliable. What I thought was just a minor issue with this model, the difficulty in shifting between R, N, L, H, etc., was just a characteristic of this model is now a big problem. I had to climb two very steep trails to get to the upper meadow of our hunting property, which seemed to stress the UTV more than usual since I was carrying some lumber to work on a platform for a hunting blind, and when I went to shift into park, I felt something give and it would not shift out of low, but it did move up into high gear.  I couldn't get it to shift at all at that point and the shifter felt mushy for lack of a better word. I was able to get it down to the lodge and when I investigated, I discovered that the straight, metal tube portion of the shift cable had bent to almost 90 degrees (see pics). I'm positive that it had already had some deformation that had happened previously and it had the right amount of resistance to bend to the point where it was unusable. 
      I have two questions:
      1. I suspect that there must be some other issues that makes this UTV difficult to shift, and I'm wondering if this is a common problem and if someone could enlighten me on what could cause this to be difficult to shift?
      2. Have any of you had this happen and if so, how difficult is it to replace the shifter cable?
      Any other advice is welcome, this is the first UTV that I've ever owned, so I don't know much about working on these or maintaining them. I'm relatively capable when it comes to working on my own vehicles in general, and I'm not afraid to take things apart and get my hands dirty.
      Thanks in advance for any insight, I'll be traveling most the day so I won't get a chance to look at replies until this evening.

      I have been searching and can't find much info on these units. Pretty surprising as every other thing I own I find a lot of info on. Researching for tech info and such it's like no one owns any of these yet I see them everywhere.

      I’m ready to buy a second machine. I looked at a Gator and a Mule. They are larger than I want. Something more trail size will be better. That being said, I do not wish to purchase from a big box store again. Can anyone recommend a good dealer who sells Hisun based machines?
      Also, any thoughts on a machine with enclosed cab, HVAC, and modern electronics

      I realize this part is discontinued but im trying to find this exhaust pipe fir my dads 550.  His brother who has since passed bought this mule for my dad who is now 90 and he is trying to fix everything on it.  I'm willing to take a used one.  A new one would be great if someone still had in stock.  I'll take anything as long as it is in workable condition.   If anyone has any ideas for me im open to hearing them.  Thank you so much.
