We take our DEMO Kawasaki KRX1000 on the ROCKS!

[@110Garage]

For everyone commenting about tire PSI and spotting: Tires were at 10psi, could have been lower for sure, and Doug cannot hear us while wearing the helmet (which is required on all demo agreements). Plus, videos of people screaming "DRIVER!! PASSENGER!!" aren't fun to watch anyways.

you may have had only 10psi in the tires, but that thing doesn't weigh anything, so even 10 psi is alot: FWIW: most people rock crawling the Rubicon are aired down to 5 psi. you gotta get those sidewalls to flex, it has bead locks .

Hi Guys !! make the rs1 ultimate crawler 35-37” tires full cage lower low range. all the stuff.

[@EnabledShooter]

I agree. There is a lot of skill involved in doing this well.The method of backing up 3 feet, then pulling forward until it's high centered and jamming the gas, doesn't seem to work. Ha ha. I would love to see them go to a climbing event. Busted Knuckle Films covers a lot of these events. It would be cool to link up with them at one of their SRRS UTV events.

Air down the tires for crawling

[@patfilipczak6888]

[@marnielarocque9412]

Hi dudes, I have been using these sort of ropes for 43 years, first time i was running a tug boat and the ropes were up to 3 inches thick and for 4wheeling i used a one inch "snap rope". I have pulled a bus out of a snowbank with my f350 diesel crew cab 4x4 so they are really tough. I use steel shackles to hook up but i see those use a knot type shackle, you could have doubled back to the Kawi if you had a ball joint on the other SXS to protect from cutting or you need another shackle, i also always keep a shive {pully} so i can pull at an angle and still get the stuck vehicle moving straight. awesome video guys

Only 7 minutes in but you guys are too used to other machines, its a kawi, they are tanks, you gotta use the "power" to get them where you want them to go. They are built stout for what they are, unlike your RZRs and X3s that have more power to break axles (rzr) or front diffs (x3), KRXs only throw bolts through your back if they haven't been through the recall.
