KRX 1000 Dust Kit - Install and Overview

Like most side by sides, the cab of the KRX can get pretty dusty, especially in the summer out west. In this video, Garrett installs the dust kit for his KRX 1000 and shows you a few of the minor changes he's made to combat the dust.

I purchased the Kawasaki glass windshield with my KRX, first trail ride at Quartzsite Az and the dust was being sucked into the cab due to the low pressure caused by the windshield. it was unbearable, I looked like I walked though a flour factory when I got back to camp. I removed it and purchased a Super ATV flip-up windshield, big improvement! I leave it up when trail riding and put it down when driving to the gas station. Still get some dust inside but nothing like before.

Great video. Thank you fir sharing your knowledge. It appears to me that there are a few attempted fixes for the dust problems on ATV/UTV’s however no body is using scientific data to know what the problem really is, how bad the problem is the the actual effects of fixes. The dust problem in our Polaris General is so bad, that I am investing is differential pressure instruments to measure the negative pressure (vacuum) inside the cockpit. With a glass windshield and back glass in, I have measured .5” of water column negative pressure between the two front seats at 40 MPH. My goal is to create a positive pressure thus eliminating the vacuum and resulting dust problem. I feel the dust is not so much a sealing problem as it is an aerodynamic problem that is curable.

[@joebiker5992]

Everyone in our group that owns a sxs ended up removing their windows all together. It's the fastest way to get rid of the dust.

Windshields = dust nature of the beast

[@bryan876]

I love my KRX but it is the dustiest machine I've ever been in. I added the dust seal kit and have put around 400 miles on the machine since. I definitely think it cuts down on the dust and helps quite a bit so I'm happy with the purchase. I also installed the kit with the plastic rivets so the 3M wouldn't fail

[@DerangedOffRoad]

I plan on using the plastic rivets soon, just wanted to test like it came first. 👍

[@garywilson3183]

I just got the wing window kit. Gonna try that first, before I do the cab seal kit. I like that new gated shifter with the boot

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Keep us updated 👍

[@lawrencewilliamson3303]

Added the seal kit and did a lot of expanding foam and tape also , still a lot of dust in cab . Running front and rear windows , with front vents open is better but still a lot

[@DerangedOffRoad]

I pulled my rear for a bit to test and see what happens. I will have a follow up on all this in due time. 👍 -Garrett

[@80DeuceAdventures]

Another great video. You guys are killing it.

[@guy-zw3sz]

If you have a front windshield you will need a rear one to keep the dust from going up to the front windshield if you notice on Dave's xrc he has a rear window which is the reason why he probably has little dust. You may have noticed this with a pickup that has a bunch of beer cans in the back they all want to go up to the rear of the cab when driving fast 😉😁👍🍻

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Garrett was running a rear window for the last year. He recently removed it for testing purposes.

[@TarheelTrailblazer]

I’m running the Alpha windshield with vents on the front of the RMAX with a soft cab back glass. Seems to help a lot. Also, I’m installing two over head fans (radiator fans) pointing downward. I’m going to experiment with these with soft enclosure doors open and closed to see if they reduce dust and keep us cooler in the summer.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Curious to how the fans work, keep us updated. 👍

[@garyschroder5611]

I have installed the cab seal kit. I think you will find dust entering at the back side of the battery box now. The kit doesn't stop dust in this area.

[@guy-zw3sz]

I have a sport Maverick XMR on order getting a front and rear windshield for it just worried about all of the Dust getting into the snorkels. all of that dust is going to want to be right up against the rear window. noticed they do make a pre-filter for them

[@kevinclark8782]

Taking the back window off will make the dust in the cabin WAY worse.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

I have been running a rear windshield since new. I pulled it to test other options over the summer. With the rear windshield the dust was horrible so I’m trying a few things to see. 👍 -Garrett

[@CruizinWithTheCarsons]

I started out with front and rears, after 3-4 days I ended up removing the rear and opening both vents of my glass vented windshield and it was much more tolerable, again, that's what seemed way better for me.

[@debbicompel-mavericklife4330]

I get a ton of dust in the x3. The more I’ve added though, the hotter it gets and the dustier it gets. Going back to all original airflow.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Good point

[@dustinedwards9274]

There is nothing on the market that comes close to minimizing the dust and dirt like our Aegis Air Spoiler! Check it out, we are going into our 10th season helping customers all over the country!!

[@DerangedOffRoad]

We have heard about that product. Do you have a link? -Garrett

[@gm780]

Garrett, I know its been awhile since you posted this. Can you tell me what rubber seal you put on your doors before you tried the seal kit. You said it was from a garage door. been looking can't find the correct one.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

I believe it was this one from Home Depot. Then I used the plastic rivets to install it. -Garrett www.homedepot.com/p/DURA-LIFT-9-ft-Garage-Door-Foam-Bottom-Weather-Seal-DLSF9/305019860

[@chriscompton9970]

I installed the kit and taped all seams inside the cab. I ended up stuffing rags down inside the rocker panels to get things sealed up. There is still excessive dust. (I have both front and rear windows.) I'm thinking a lot of dust might be reduced with better rear wheel wells as well as stopping mud from getting packed way up in the plastic. Been thinking how to do that, so if anyone has done so would like to hear about it.

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

There is a guy on you tube that either bought or made inner fender liners. I don’t remember the channel though.

[@DUNEATV]

By the thumbnail...you need a RUBICON! Lol

[@DUNEATV]

@@adventureoutdoor45 I did three years on a YXZ. Loved it but got tired of being hot or cold, dust, trailer and wind blown. The new Rubicon’s are incredible!

[@OdysseyOffroad]

Let me tell you my Pro XP has the worst dust in the cab of any side by side I've had. I had rzr 1000, x3, maverick sport and krx and the pro xp is ridiculous with dust. I didn't find the KRX to be bad at all and with all of those other machines I could be driving by myself or in the lead and not have any dust in the cab hardly. But with the Pro XP out for a day driving by yourself and the entire cab is completely saturated with dust. I think it has to do with the open wheel design and the extremely wide open lower front doors but I'm not too sure. I literally have to carry a rag to wipe off my goggles and the gauge cluster every few minutes.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

You didn’t run a full front and rear windshield on the KRX?

[@OdysseyOffroad]

@@DerangedOffRoad no nothing. on my other machines i have run just a half front to deflect wind and bugs at high speed but thats it. i like the open air feeling. Never had a dust issue in the krx with no windshields at all though.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

I’m guessing that could be the problem, the KRX might be better with no windshields. I have pulled my back for testing and will go from there.

We have parted ways with the Teryx4, but you can find tons of vids that we did already on it in our Teryx4 playlist. 👍

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Nothing to worry about they’re great machines. I put about everything I could on it in my vids. When the KRX was released, I bought one and had both for a bit. It was just time to move on because of needing new content. You made a great decision though 👍

[@muzicfinder1]

Teryx 4 are great machines! Prefect family utv...

So far pretty good 👍

@@DerangedOffRoad cool thanks, just picked up a KRX and noticed the dust problem.

It does help 👍

[@morgancure1604]

if you take the back window out it gets a "back wash" like in a pick up truck...the dust just flushes in..not good

[@DerangedOffRoad]

After much testing that is not completely true on the KRX. I have notice a big difference with front vents open and no back window plus after adding the dust kit.

Dust kit is no good puts the door s on a bind hard to open and shut would not recommend them

[@DerangedOffRoad]

We have been running it for a bit now and no issues with that. I did change the bottom seal out with a smaller one from Amazon.
