2009 KAWASAKI TERYX™ 750 FI 4x4 SPORT MONSTER
ENERGY®
Top of the line
Teryx performance with hard core racer styling
Teryx 750 FI 4x4 Sport Monster Energy
Teryx 750 FI 4x4 Profile |
For 2009, Kawasaki slipped a digital
fuel-injected (DFI) V-Twin engine into the
stable wide-body chassis of its impressive
Teryx™ recreation utility vehicle (RUV), then
equipped it with upgraded, fully adjustable,
high performance suspension components and cast
aluminum wheels. For riders seeking the latest
racetrack style, Kawasaki’s Teryx 750 FI 4x4
Sport Monster Energy® is the answer. With its
black bodywork and wheels highlighted by an
aggressive Monster Energy graphics set, this
high performance RUV will certainly stand out
from the pack.
Inheriting the Teryx family’s
efficient CVT, superior ground clearance, useful
cargo capacity and fuel-injected, mid-mounted
749cc 90-degree V-twin engine, the Teryx 750 FI
4x4 Sport offers the class-leading performance
and features that performance-minded RUV
customers have been seeking.
Strong and
proven, the quick revving, fuel injected,
large-bore V-twin engine features ignition
timing that is tuned to allow it to rocket
through the low and mid range with plenty of
life left for high rpm performance. The Teryx
750 FI 4x4 Sport’s digital fuel injection (DFI)
system automatically compensates for altitude
and temperature changes. The DFI system uses a
sophisticated mix of sensors that includes an
inlet air pressure, throttle, crankshaft, speed,
water temperature and a vehicle down sensor. A
new fuel tank with a fuel pump to keep the
Teryx’s engine fed were also part of the FI
package.
The Teryx Sport’s superb
continuously variable transmission (CVT)
smoothly and efficiently transfers the robust
power and quick response from its big V-twin to
the wheels. This powertrain delivers true sport
performance in a controlled manner, so the
driver can exploit the full potential of the
Teryx 750 FI 4x4 Sport.
The CVT utilizes a
high-grade belt that is highly durable and
designed to handle the high output of the
engine. To minimize unnecessary belt wear,
prevent undesired tire spin and offer upgraded
rock section performance with less belt
overloading, a CVT Belt Protection System uses
inputs from a gear sensor (not in neutral),
vehicle speed (measured from the rear wheel),
Throttle Position Sensor (TPS), and engine speed
to monitor belt conditions. Should the
transmission failsafe system detect engine
operation at high rpm for more than two seconds
while the rear wheels remain motionless (i.e.
rear wheels are immobilized and the belt is
slipping) it automatically retards ignition
timing and warns the rider via a flashing belt
warning lamp.
Big power demands an equally
capable chassis, and the Teryx 750 FI 4x4 Sport
delivers with a body width that’s narrow enough
to effectively negotiate trails, yet wide enough
to offer additional stability, a roomy cab and
help cope with the healthy output from its
powerful V-twin. The wide track Teryx design
employs a large-diameter, thin-walled tubular
frame offering the necessary rigidity without
performance draining weight. It also meets SAE
requirements as a roll-over protective structure
(ROPS) with an arrangement spacious enough to
comfortably fit two full-sized adults.
Long
A-arm and narrow frame give the Teryx 750 FI 4x4
Sport’s aluminum alloy wheels maximum travel and
minimal camber change throughout the
suspension’s stroke. The cast and machined
aluminum wheels offer reduced unsprung weight -
by about two pounds each - and increased
strength over the standard Teryx’s steel units.
They also add to the Sport model’s appearance.
A revised stabilizer bar and
increased adjustability on the new Teryx 750 FI
4x4 Sport’s suspension makes a significant
contribution to its handling and ride quality.
Its front and rear Kayaba shocks are aluminum
bodied, gas-charged units with piggy-back
reservoirs, which reduce the tendency of the oil
to froth under hard conditions. They provide
adjustable preload and fully adjustable rebound
and compression damping. The Sport’s
higher-grade suspension component’s superior
ability to soak up bumps translates to increased
control and enhanced comfort on the trail.
Mounted on the stylish matte black aluminum
alloy wheels, the tall and aggressive 26-inch
Maxxis tires were developed specifically for the
Teryx. The tires give it superb forward and
sliding traction along with good rough terrain
handling and contribute to its class leading
ground clearance and ability to overcome
obstacles.
Mixing a sporting pace with rough
terrain demands a high level of concentration
from the driver. Helping to reduce the driver’s
workload, are features like the simple switch
activated, servo-controlled 4WD system.
Additional traction management is just a hand
lever away — the driver can perform easy
on-the-fly adjustments to front differential
lock, via the variable front differential
control lever on the center console. Much like a
sport ATV, the Teryx Sport’s rear differential
always stays locked, allowing the Teryx to slide
around corners in a classic two-wheel drift
whenever the driver feels like having a little
extra fun.
A fast RUV needs equally quick
stopping prowess. The Teryx 750 FI 4x4 Sport
meets the challenge, utilizing a combination of
dual 200mm discs up front and a sealed wet brake
in the rear. The front brakes are tucked into
the wheels for protection from debris and their
27mm twin-piston calipers are rigid-mounted for
optimum feel and control. The advantage of the
sealed rear brake is most apparent when it can
keep working even in the wettest or muddiest of
environments unlike its competition. Its compact
profile further adds to the remarkable amount of
ground clearance.
Of course, this substantial
sport performance is matched by Kawasaki’s
legendary durability and reliability that starts
on the ebony surface - tough scratch resistant
Thermo-Plastic Olefin (TPO) bodywork, that is. A
steel skid plate helps shield the Teryx engine
from ride stopping obstacles.
Inside, bucket seats, retractable three-point
seat belts, a padded steering wheel that’s
positioned low for better control, dual cup
holders and plenty of shoulder and leg room
provide a comfortable driving environment.
Standard equipment on all Teryx models, the
multi-function digital meter offers a fuel
gauge, hour meter, clock, odometer, dual trip
meters, warning lights and parking brake
indicator.
A 7.4-gallon fuel tank and a
500-pound capacity, gas-assisted tilting cargo
bed mean the Teryx 750 FI 4x4 Sport has the
range and cargo abilities for long-distance fun.
A cargo net and tie down hooks in all four
corners keep the goods secure. Its 1300-pound
towing capacity expands those cargo abilities
further. The action doesn’t need the sun either
thanks to dual 40W headlights showing the way
and dual rear taillights letting it be seen.
With such a cargo-carrying and transportability
potential, it is an able partner for
leisure/recreation activities, such as day trips
or camping.

4x4 Sport Monster Energy are available through
