CHASSIS Highly rigid, aluminum swingarm features Kawasakis exclusive wet, multi-plate rear brake, the best rear brake ever on an ATV. The internal wet brake is completely sealed from mud and dust, etc. while its compact design allows ample ground clearance. Uni-Trak rear suspension features a reservoir-equipped shock for stable damping characteristics. Step-less adjustable for preload, it comes with a dual-rate spring and delivers 184 mm of wheel travel for excellent ground tracking qualities and ride quality. MacPherson strut front suspension gives a long wheel travel of 170 mm and enhances the wheels ground-following ability for a smooth yet sporty ride. Dual-piston front brake calipers deliver powerful, progressive braking. Tough, 12 aluminum rims are sized 6-inch wide for the front and 7.5-inch wide at the rear. The large, 17 litre fuel tank is located beneath the rear fender and includes an in-tank fuel pump contributing to a low centre of gravity. Safety system allows the engine to be started in any gear if one of the brakes is applied. Large, steel racks hold 40 kg up front and 80 kg in the rear, and are ideal for work, camping and many other tasks. Bright, multi-reflector headlights throw plenty of light for late nights on the job.
