TERYX H2 RECALL OFFICIAL

[olliechristopher35]

I am happy that Kawasaki is taking care of the customer vehicles first. I've waited this long to get this rig so no big deal. In the meantime I'm still rolling on my 2 wheeled rides.

 

[AXE]

Called the dealer this morning to get the parts ordered and will get an appointment scheduled once they arrive.

I'm surprised that I can't find anybody that has posted about the actual performance of the recall. I've seen people claim their dealers had parts and were fixing new rigs. The fix itself shouldn't take 1-2 hours to complete.

There's absolutely nothing in the recall replacement parts that will change the performance in any way, the ECU update is supposed to only limit power when the throttle and brake are used simultaneously.

I suspect we will start seeing people post about it in the next few weeks.

You mean like when your climbing something steep and technical and you need to hold the brake to keep from rolling back? Seems like a useless modification. Just some nanny state lawyers deciding how you can drive.

Maybe a few, I just talked with my dealer and he said he tried ordering parts for two customer cars and 9 dealer cars shortly after it went live and parts were already backordered.

Just like I said before, it'll be August or September before some cars get fixed.

These bots talking about free belts are full of shit too. My service advisor said there's no mention of belts in 23 pages of recall documentation. Also said Kawasaki is only giving them 1 hour to complete everthing. That's kinda bullshit, especially since it includes ecu programming and new hardware.

Not so sure, I just talked with my dealer and he said he tried ordering parts for two customer cars and 9 dealer cars shortly after it went live and parts were already backordered.

Not true. My dealer already has a few of the kit's and is contacting customers.

Yay....fucking bots have dealers with parts and Betas too!

Where the heck are you getting this from? Your prerogative if you want to believe that troll from the Polaris forum. I actually have a deposit on this SXS and am patiently waiting. I just got back from UT a few months back and busted my butt fitting my trailer. Here is my Beta and trailer ready for my SXS. Only bummer is I can't fit both as my trailer is only 18'.

 

[AXE]

LMFAO......the bot found a picture of a Hobo Freight generator and some other random shit.

Actually I am looking forward to seeing you and other Teryx H2's on the trails. This is a big step for me getting a SXS.

Don't laugh, the HF generator got put to the test last week in NV. 107 degrees in the daytime and pushing 100 degrees at night. Ran that baby for 38 hours straight and shut off only to switch from propane to gas and refuel. with my 13,500 BTU AC running the whole time it took one 20lb bottle of propane and 5 gallons of extra fuel total to keep it running. I fabricated the slide out and installed the TV and Etrack myself.

It's not going to completely kill the throttle when 2 footing, it will limit the throttle so someone can't rev the engine wide open and power brake the unit, Can Am and Polaris do the exact same thing on their sport model side x sides.

Nobody knows what it's gonna do because nobody's reported on it yet after the revel was performed. Kawasaki doesn't really say much in the recall documentation.

Who does that anyway on CVT? It would be mostly counter productive to performance. You can roast the tires all you want by just by hammering the throttle, especially with an aftermarket clutch.

It's already got horrible compression braking, they should have fixed that instead.

 

[AXE]

Looks like this guy might be getting his back soon. Others getting the Kawasaki run around!

I don't think it's the run around. It's all about allocations and availability right now.

 

[AXE]

The letter from Kawasaki specifically states they are gonna give us the runaround. It's in the last paragraph before the parts list. Here's the proof, this guy shoukd have priority with a blown clutch! But instead he's getting the runaround.

Apparently idiots are doing it, why else would Polaris and Can Am and now Kawasaki program the ECUs to prevent it?
The ability of people to attempt to try and tear things up and lack of common sense never fails to amaze me.. lol

There were only 19 documented failures. How many of those were idiots? I suppose the answer is somewhere between 0-19.

Kawasaki clearly knows this isn't the issue. This is poor materials, poor manugacturing and wormanship, and lack of testing. I personlly witnessed a nickel sized chip come right out of my clutch and then decided I had enough and bought the Tapp.....no problems since, same driving habits......funny how that works.

I've watched countless videos running aftermarket clutches for 90 days and ripping their machines like the Kawasaki promo videos with no issues. Their isn't a power braking issue or an idiot issue, there's a shitty clutch issue.

You yourself have documented the problems with the clutch. Are you an idiot? Or did you just figure out they builtt a POS clutch?

This ECU reflash and that chintzy little guard and the rectifier cover plate are just corporate hacks and dumb engineers listening to the the nanny state lawyers tell them they have to do stooopid shit now cause they did it wrong the first time. Fer crissakes, this whole mess is laughable.

I agree the clutches are junk, I had H2 clutches torn apart before the H2 was released and knew then it was a piece of crap and had serious doubts it would hold up and yes, the "fix" is a band aid, I'm running a billet KWI primary and secondary and I don't power brake it but that's not saying someone else may not, just saying the other manufactures limit power when 2 footing and Kawi is just following suite. I wonder if they are going to reduce the speed limiter as well cause it's currently set at 500 mph LOL
