r/UTV

The Mule is mostly a workhorse but it is still fun to cruise around in.

I busted the front left corner of the OEM polycarb roof on my KRX1000 over the weekend bad enough that it must be replaced. The same OEM roof new is about $550 delivered so no bueno for me.
I am hoping to get feedback on whether the metal/aluminum roofs get hotter and are the louder/rattle? Do they add actual strength to the roll cage? Does anyone add some sort of heat shielding? Anyone running the metal roof with the skylight like THIS? Does it leak?
Are the aftermarket black matte polycarb roofs more flexible and giving?

Hey everyone! I’m following up on my post the other day about taking delivery of this UTV.

I took my family out to Barnwell Mountain to test the machine out and get a feel for its strong and weak points as far as trail riding goes. I don’t intend to do any crazy rock crawling with this machine but I do want to be able to ride trail systems without worrying too much about beating it up.

My first impression is very positive. The AC kept us cool all day in 102* heat with high humidity, the speakers were good clarity but could be louder due to engine and drivetrain noise, and the machine was overall successful on the trails we rode.

We stayed on easier trails this go around. I mainly wanted to do a shakedown and get familiar and comfortable with it so we didn’t touch anything over a blue. The suspension from the factory is really plush and comfortable but it does rock a little more than I would like. I read that can be fixed by adjusting the factory settings a bit. The major issue I see with this machine is going to be ground clearance. There were a couple of times where the break over angle was not enough to clear a big rock or root and had to get creative on the small width trails to get through. I assume portals and big tires would probably fix this although I’m not interested in going that route at this moment.

I did bring out the winch once, which worked flawlessly, but I did notice that the winch hook is very small so my normal shackle from my jeep days was too thick for it.

We aired down to 16 psi to be safe. We were solo on the trails so I didn’t want to blow a bead and be by myself to come up with a fix. At 16 psi, grip was impressive and only spun in a couple of slicker moments.

A few people at the park wanted to check it out and were impressed with the fit and finish for it being $10k cheaper than comparable competitors. So far, I’m very happy with the machine and the purchase and hope to get a lot of work and play out of it in the future.

Did about 60 miles, and it was incredible.

Wish doors were a bit cheaper… lol

Hello everyone! I just took delivery of a 2026 CFMOTO U10 Pro Highland XL.. phew, that was a mouthful. I had it tinted and being that this is my first utv, I decided on the 5 year warranty and the lifetime battery warranty. I’ve been on Dirtbikes and in sports cars my whole life but this is my first utv so I’m looking for some advice.

It will mainly live on my small property helping with fence work, clearing land, filling feeders, and whatever chores we have going on. I used to have a jeep that we would take to the offroad trails around us so I also want to do some trail riding with it sometimes.

I’m curious what upgrades i should be looking into first. I plan to do the break in as the manual states and change gear oil and engine oil at the 20 hrs. Does anyone have experience with this model?

TIA

Anyone have experience with this product? I can't find much info about this product from users. We have a 3 year old who we'd like to drive casually with but are aware of how dot approved helmets are a bit too heavy for the necks of children that age and can cause strain and injury. He'll be strapped into a car seat with a 5 point harness. Many ppl counsel just using a bike helmet or full face BMX helmet.

New battery and drained the gas tank and now she runs like a top. 08 ranger 800 EFI.

I found a good deal on this UTV at a dealer about an hour away from me. That dealer has this new Yamaha Wolverine for $12,400. Today after work I went to a dealer down the road from me and they had the same Utv listed for $16,800 out the door. I told the salesman they were way off on the pricing and he said he could beat that offer and came down to $14,820 out the door. I’ve never bought new from a dealer but what kind of markup can I expect from the dealer at $12,400 with tax, title, fees etc? And yes I’m trying to get hold of the dealer with the lower price.

It runs currently. I bought it to help move hay and fencing supplies around the farm. And old fellow around the corner bought himself something new and sold this to me fairly inexpensive. But it looks like they either went out of business or the company was bought or something.

I know it'll need some work, but haven't been able to find much online about it.
