2021 RTV-X1140 First Maintenance Observations

My experience was mostly good.  Pieces of the process left me shaking my head (#2 and #3).

1.  Tranny and Hydraulic filters are easy to replace.  On the first service (50 hours), you replace the filters, not the fluid.  There is a youtube video out there that shows step by step.  One word of caution, there are 2 places that you need to add fluid (UDT2) back for what was lost in the filter change.  One is directly in front of the filters, under the dump bed.  This is the tranny fill.  The other is under the front passenger seat.

2.  Oil filter ... what a PITA.  Cannot believe that the engineers could not have made this a bit easier to get to.  Filter is behind the battery.  If you are a large fellow, you are going to have issues getting to it.  Removing the skid plate underneath helps (loosen with filter wrench), but getting your hand in there is even harder than from the battery.

3.  Fuel filter.  I tried to get the bowl loose to replace the element.  I have not had any luck yet.  It is so tight from the factory.  I was cranking on it so hard I thought I was going to break something.  So, I decided to call the dealer and ask if there was a trick.  They said there is no trick.  Crank on it until it comes loose.  Lefty loosey / counter clockwise.  So, I will do that this evening.

4.  Air filter.  Easy.

5.  Grease zerts.  I only was able to find zerts at the control arms.  6 on the front, 8 on the back.  Anyone else know of any other zerts?

Contemplating getting the service manual.  $100 seems retarded to me.  But might be worth it.

      Hi everyone and I hope that is not a too forward questions for us newbies. 
      My husband and I are ready (next Spring) to open our newly developed nudist campground in Iowa and we are now looking for interesting activities to host. 
      Don't worry we are not going to try and sell you a membership because as of 2 weeks ago all of our 50 campsites are sold out for the 2024 season. 
      It was my job to sell site and now that is complete i am looking for interesting actives host for weekend. 
      We have 300 acres of woods, grassland, swamps and 2 small ponds/lakes and dozens of miles of riding trails.
      we have gotten county approval for the complete 300 acres to be clothing optional. 
      We think we have a great spot for a weekend or several day ATV / mudder event. 
      Clothing would be optional for all participants and plenty of room for overnight camping and outdoor group showers. 
      Now we are looking to you pro  ATV riders to let us know if you think your group of people would fit in with ours. 
      Feel free to ask anything you would like to get a better idea of what we offer.

      i am looking for a starter for my 2004 800 Renegade and apparently the place I dealt with before is no longer in business. Any help?
      Thanks in advance,

      Just got quoted $770 for my Mule's first 50 hour service. Is it just me, or does this seem insanely excessive? I was expecting something in the $350 to $500 range and thinking that even $500 would be a little high. Is dealer service really necessary at 50 hours? At this price I think I'd like to shop around for a mechanic that could do it for half the price. I don't really have the option of shoping around for a cheaper Kawasaki dealer, as there is just this one dealer a reasonable distance away (30 min). The next closest olne is 3 hours away.
