1 2014 Model Information MODEL NAME: Teryx EPS HG LE MODEL CODE: KRT800CEF BEST OF BOTH WORLDS: PERFORMANCE + FUNCTIONALITY The greatest strength of the Teryx4 comes from its fantastic versatility. Its off-road and sport capabilities are superbly balanced by class-leading comfort and great utility performance. Add to that excellent durability and quality, and you have a package that meets the demands of a variety of riders and offers a wider range of "fun" than other models in its category.

2 HIGH PERFORMANCE BACKED BY SOLID CONSTRUCTION With a powerful V-Twin engine mounted in a highly stable chassis, the Teryx 4 has everything it needs to offer sporty off-road fun for one to four people. Kawasaki s famous reliability gives drivers the reassurance and peace of mind of knowing that both the engine and frame were built to last. Powerful V-Twin engine with increased displacement The 2014 Teryx4 benefits from a displacement increase care of a longer stroke. The result is an increase in power and torque at all rpm. As always, the easy-to-control character of the engine accommodates a wide range of drivers. Powerful, liquid-cooled, 783 cm3 SOHC, 4-valve-percylinder fuel-injected V-Twin engine churns out a substantial 43 kw (58 PS) an increase of 7.5% over its predecessor. Ample torque output contributes to the Teryx4's superb acceleration. Peak torque is 10% greater than the previous model, but the greater torque across the rev range contributes to greater everyday usability. The displacement increase (749 cm3 >> 783 cm3) was achieved with a longer stroke (66 mm >> 69 mm). Oversquare bore and stroke now measure 85 x 69 mm. Revised piston crown increases the compression ratio from 9.3:1 to 10.7:1, ideal for the longer stroke. The higher compression ratio contributes to increased combustion efficiency, which in turn contributes to the increased power. o The 90 V-Twin configuration offers perfect primary balance, resulting in low engine vibration. Taking into account coolant temperature, air intake temperature, throttle position, air intake pressure, vehicle speed and crankshaft angle, the fuel injection system (which uses 36 mm throttle bodies and a 32-bit CPU) automatically meters out the ideal amount of fuel for extremely stable power delivery regardless of the conditions. And of course, setting adjustments are not necessary when changing altitude, idling adjustments are unnecessary, and starting is hassle-free. With fuel injection fuel delivery is instantaneous, contributing to sharp response ideal for sport riding. A high-pressure fuel pump is located inside the tank. A unique reservoir chamber at the bottom of the fuel pump ensures air does not get into the fuel system. Larger-volume intake chamber (10.4 L) ensures the engine has plenty air when drivers stomp on the accelerator. Increased crank mass (5776 g >> 6430 g) contributes to stable idling, easy starting and increased engine speed stability when the centrifugal clutch engages. Revised exhaust system routing (the collector is further downstream) and a larger pipe diameter (31.8 mm >> 35 mm) match the engine's new power characteristics. The new exhaust system also contributes to lower temperature in the engine room. Revised silencer internal construction offers an enhanced exhaust note. Improved Fuel Consumption Since the new engine generates greater power and torque at lower rpm, it is not necessary to open the throttle as much. This leads to a 20% improvement in fuel consumption: 13.1 mpg (5.6 km/l) >> 15.7 mpg (6.7 km/l).

3 Highly Stable Chassis Design To harness the full potential of its mighty V-Twin engine, the Teryx 4 features a stable wide-body chassis. The wide track (F: 1,294 mm; R: 1,276 mm) contributes to vehicle stability. Using the same long A-arm concept seen on sport ATVs, the frame was made as narrow as possible to maximise the length of the front and rear suspension's lower A-arms, contributing to excellent road-handling performance. The Teryx4's stable wide-body chassis combined with its mid-engine layout and high-grade suspension offers drivers a package that maximises cornering performance. Well-balanced front-rear weight distribution (48:52) contributes to sport driving potential. Positioning the chassis' centre of gravity as low as possible contributes to the Teryx4's great stability. Handling characteristics incorporate a certain amount of understeer, contributing to high cornering stability under certain surface conditions. Construction revisions based on strength analysis technology result in a 10 kg lighter frame. Together with reduced overall curb mass, this contributes to the Teryx4's enhanced manoeuvrability. CVT Transmission & Centrifugal Clutch: Acceleration Control & Stable Engine Braking The Teryx4's centrifugal clutch is the key to its superior acceleration control at slow and very slow speeds. A centrifugal clutch is located between the crankshaft and CVT drive pulley. By eliminating the shock of the CVT belt engaging, the centrifugal clutch facilitates precise throttle control when navigating tricky terrain such as rock crawls. (Reduced stress to the highgrade CVT belt also increases belt life, and means that belt deflection adjustment is no longer necessary.) With the centrifugal clutch, the Teryx4 offers a balance of the direct engine feel and quick response inherent with the engine character-cvt combination (ideal for hard riding) and smooth low-speed acceleration (essential for control in tricky terrain). CVT and transmission ratios were selected to offer optimum ride feel while ensuring stable engine braking characteristics. The engine braking offers reassuring support when rolling down steep inclines. Electrically Selectable 4WD & Front Differential Lock Electrically "selectable" 2WD/4WD/4WD+Front Differential Lock system allows easy changing between drive systems to suit changing terrain and applications. 2WD: offers light steering for maximum sport performance 4WD: offers enhanced traction while keeping steering light 4WD + differential lock: offers maximum traction Once the switch is turned, the system engages instantly, ensuring the rider has full control of when 4WD or the front differential lock is activated. Locking the front differential causes the front wheels to act as a single axle, (preventing wheels from free spinning in low traction situations or when a wheel is suspended in the air) ensuring maximum traction when riding over tricky obstacles.

4 Off-road Brake Performance The combination of high-performance disc brakes at the front and a sealed wet brake at the rear offers formidable braking power an essential component for hard riding. Using two independent systems also ensures reliable braking performance is maintained even in wet or muddy conditions. Dual 200 mm front brakes gripped by 27 mm twin-piston calipers provide solid stopping power at the front. The discs are recessed in the wheels to provide protection from debris, while the rigidmount calipers deliver superior brake feel and control. Steelbraided lines provide direct brake feel and help prevent brake fade in hot conditions. At the rear, the Teryx 4 features Kawasaki's unique sealed, internal wet brake. Internal components are completely sealed from mud and dust, etc, ensuring uncompromised rear braking performance. The compact size contributes to a favourable ground clearance. Large 26" Tyres The Teryx 4 sports the largest tyres available in the RUV category. Its 12" rims and 26" tyres, more easily able to overcome obstacles than smaller tyres, contribute to its excellent rough road handling. MAXXIS Bighorn 2.0 tyres, while technically 26" size, are almost as large as 27" tyres. The radial tyres have high rigidity, and their enhanced grip helps maximise forward traction while offering excellent control characteristics for aggressive cornering. Favourable Off-roading Dimensions The Teryx 4's comparatively short wheelbase (2,177 mm) contributes to its short 5.1 m turning radius, which makes it easier to negotiate tight corners on trail courses. Combined with the Teryx 4's ground clearance (281 mm at chassis centre), the short wheelbase also o contributes to a more favourable breakover angle (15 ), which reduces the chance of bottoming out when cresting a ridge. o o High approach and departure angles (79 and 65, respectively) also contribute to the Teryx 4's off-road performance. Minimalising bodywork overhang (the bumpers are close to the wheels) reduces the chance of hitting the bumper or scraping the tail when going up or coming down steep slopes.

5 COMFORT & UTILITY Roomy Interior The Teryx4 offers the shoulder and legroom to comfortably accommodate two adults in the front, with room for two more people in the rear. High-backed bucket seats and three-point seatbelts hold driver and passengers firmly in place during hard driving and offer good ride comfort at cruising speeds. Seats use different urethane cushioning for the bottom and back. Bottom urethane is firm to offer proper support and long-term comfort. Back urethane is softer. Seat material has superb elasticity, offering increased comfort and holding performance. The material is also resistant to cold, allowing it to maintain its suppleness when temperatures drop and reducing the chance of tearing/ripping when exposed to cold temperatures. Front seats are adjustable, offering three possible positions with a total forward-rearward range of 50 mm (three positions at 25 mm intervals). The seats are bolted securely into the chosen position, ensuring there is no free play during hard off-road driving. Rear seats are fairly upright and rear-seat passengers have room for their legs behind the front seats, both of which facilitate getting in and out of the vehicle. (No need to contort yourself to get in or to pull yourself up and out when disembarking.) Rear seats are positioned slightly higher than the front seats. The wide view this affords contributes to passenger comfort, and allows them to see down the trail. Handgrips and holds for the front and rear passengers contribute to comfort. Pole-style handgrip on the left and handgrip integrated into the ROPS bar are available for the front passenger; a wide bar across the back of the front seats offers hand holds for the rear passengers. Seatbelts are equipped with an anti-cinch system that prevents over-tightening when the belts lock on sudden deceleration or when the tilt-sensor is activated. Exhaust pipes are equipped with heat guards to help shield the cabin from exhaust heat. Noise-reduction rubber sheet under the centre console and padding on the inside of the seat side panels help keep engine noise to a minimum. Sporty 4-Door Doors are a standard feature on all Teryx4 models, offering passenger protection as well as contributing to enhance comfort and convenience facilitating getting in and out of the vehicle. The doors also offer a level of mud protection. Simple latch mechanism facilitates opening and closing the doors.

6 High-performance FOX Suspension The Teryx4's suspension settings were decided based on the design aim to offer a comfortable, stable ride when driving with four people, while ensuring controlled driving right up to the vehicle's maximum speed when driving with two. Combined with the wide-track chassis and mid-engine layout, the new high-performance FOX suspension designed specifically for the Teryx4 enables sure-footed handling in rough terrain, superb cornering performance, and enhanced ride comfort and high-speed stability. High-performance, single-chamber gas-charged shocks offer excellent faderesistant damping performance, even in hard conditions. Front and rear shocks on all models feature piggyback reservoirs. The extra volume of oil helps the shocks run cooler, enabling more stable damping performance under hard conditions. The new suspension offers improved initial stroke action (especially over sharp bumps). This contributes to increased high-speed stability as well as enhanced ride comfort. Both front and rear shocks are adjustable for compression damping as well as preload. Front suspension is complemented by an anti-roll bar. It contributes to an ideal front/rear roll balance as well as adding to rear ride comfort. It also helps achieve the steering character: slight understeer, which contributes to cornering stability. EPS (Electric Power Steering) Kawasaki's high-grade electric power steering (EPS) offers both lighter handling and increased ride comfort. Turning the steering wheel causes a signal to be sent to the EPS ECU, initiating assistance. The ECU uses input from a vehicle speed sensor and torque sensor to determine the amount of steering assistance required from the system's electric motor. At slow speeds or when stopped, assistance is greatest; assistance is reduced as vehicle speed increases to ensure stable handling. The EPS system also enhances ride comfort and control by acting as a damping system. When steering input is neutral, the inertia of the electric motor acts as a stabiliser. Likewise, it helps reduce bump steer and kickback to the steering wheel caused by shocks to the wheels. Ample Cargo Space With a 113 kg capacity and sizeable dimensions (454 mm L x 1,210 mm W x 220 mm H), the Teryx4's cargo bed offers substantial carrying capacity. The space is large enough for a 50 litre cooler, spare gasoline can and other equipment. The rear wall of the cargo bed is shorter at the centre (127 mm) making it easier to load and remove items. The cargo bed's flat bottom helps make an efficient use of space, and also facilitates securing items being carried. Four tie-down loops help secure items being transported in the cargo bed. Range The 30 litre fuel tank offers the range to enable long forays into the Great Outdoors with the family or to easily allow campers and hunters to get deep into the bush and back without having to worry about refuelling. DC Sockets Two DC sockets (one in the front, one in the rear) provide a total of 120 W of power for accessories or life's little necessities. Glove Box Passenger-side glove box provides sealed storage for small items. Drink Holders for Everyone Four drink holders (one each for the driver and three passengers) provided standard. The driver and front passenger drink holders are positioned 100 mm higher for easier access.

7 Parking Brake Pulling the convenient automobile-style parking brake lever activates the sealed rear wet brake to keep the Teryx4 from rolling away when stopped on a slope. ECU features a fuel injection cut control that limits engine speed should the driver attempt to ride away with the parking brake still engaged. Ease of Maintenance The front hood opens, providing easy access to the front suspension, coolant reservoir, intake air filter and electrical equipment (ECU, battery, relays, breakers). Locating the air cleaner box and electrical equipment up high on the chassis also helps protect them from the effect of water, mud and dust when riding in rough conditions. The bottom cushion of the driver's seat is easily removable to allow access to the engine to check the oil level. DURABILITY & QUALITY Superior Engine Durability Kawasaki's off-road V-Twin engines are renowned for their durability. No exception, the Teryx4 engine makes a number of special considerations for durability and cooling performance. V-Twin engine (especially the lower half and transmission) designed for long life. Piston pins feature a wall thickness of 3.5 mm for long durability. Additionally, the piston pins receive machining on their inner surface (to remove defects from the drawing process) and a WPC micro shot peening treatment on their outer surface. The resultant micro-dimpling on the surface helps reduce friction while increasing the strength of the part. Connecting rod big end design and big end bearings were designed especially for precise bearing clearance. Minimising friction contributes to durability. Similarly, crankshaft journal bearings (22 mm wide) were selected for optimised durability. Robust shift-drum type transmission with three shift forks offers smooth, precise shifting and high system durability. Tapered roller bearings to secure the bevel gear pinion contribute to durability. Phosphating treatment (parkerizing) for the ring gear teeth increases their hardness to help prevent wear. Large-volume radiator (400 mm x 358 mm x 24 mm) and large-diameter fan (338 mm) ensure adequate engine cooling. Paper air filter element contributes to dust resistance. Sturdy Frame Construction Like its engine, the Teryx4's robust, highly rigid frame was also built to last. Strict testing and high Kawasaki standards for durability result in an over-spec frame designed to withstand hard conditions without being compromised. Double-X frame design delivers superb rigidity characteristics (especially torsionally). Robust frame contributes to both stability and sporty performance. Its square-tube construction offers high rigidity and light weight a perfect base for off-road performance riding. Cast Aluminium Wheels (KRT800B/C only) The detailed analysis used during frame development results in a frame that uses hardly any gussets. *Further strength analysis enabled 10 kg to be trimmed from the frame. Steel engine guards protect the engine from damage when traversing rough trails. ROPS The Teryx4 features a Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS). The ROPS frame is constructed from hightensile steel, offering both strength and light weight. The ROPS frame runs along the outside of the chassis perimeter, offering superior protection from obstacles like trees and reducing the chance of hang-ups. Shoulder bars built into the ROPS frame also help ensure that passengers are seated comfortably in the vehicle. Revised shoulder pad material (changed from urethane to rubber) offers both increased passenger protection and greater durability.

8 Cast Aluminium Wheels Instead of the standard steel rims, KRT800C model features cast aluminium rims. In addition to offering increased strength, the polished rims add a higher-quality appearance. Styling With enhanced styling one of the goals for the new Teryx4, in addition to selecting different colours for each grade of model, designers gave attention to numerous small details to increase the vehicle's high-quality image. Front hood and headlamp design gives the Teryx4 a tough, no-nonsense look that reflects its powerful character and strong off-road performance. LED headlamps are featured standard on the KRT800C model. The headlamps use less power than the standard bulbs (10.2 W [Low]/20.4 W [High] vs 35 W [Low/High]), are about 50% brighter, and offer a significantly longer lifespan. In addition to contributing to enhanced safety when driving at night, the LED headlamps add to the higher-quality image. Beefy steel front guard is a standard feature, offering protection to the front of the vehicle and contributing to the Teryx4's tough, high-quality image. The fat square pipe of the bumper's redesigned lower portion offers increased strength as well as contributing to the tougher image. Over fenders on KRT800B/C/D models add to the tough image and offer increased mud protection. KRT800C model features colour-matched door panels that contribute to their high-quality finish. (Doors on the Standard model are black plastic.) New 3-tone seat leather on the KRT800C (SIL x BLK x LIM) model adds to the sporty, high-quality image of the model. Seats on the KRT800C feature a "Teryx" logo as an added quality touch. Suspension A-arms and shock springs of the KRT800C models are colour-matched to the bodywork, adding to the high-quality image of the flagship model. Bodywork is made of scratch-resistant TPO plastic. Use of numerous decals contributes to the Teryx4's sporty looks. Texture paint on the ROPS frame and front guard help protect these against scratches and contribute to the Teryx4's high-quality finish. Centre console features a textured finish, adding a quality touch to the cabin interior. All visible welds are extremely clean. Instrumentation Multi-function display is standard on all models. Features include: digital speedometer ` digital fuel gauge odometer hour meter clock dual trip meters 2WD/4WD indicator front differential lock indicator light parking indicator water temperature warning indicator fuel injection warning indicator neutral indicator light reverse indicator light oil pressure warning light Seatbelt-use reminder lamp comes on for 10 seconds after the engine is started to remind the driver to buckle up. After 10 seconds, the lamp stays on if the driver's seatbelt is not fastened.
