2009 Kawasaki Teryx™ 750 FI 4×4

A wide body chassis, big V-twin power and an efficient CVT hallmark Kawasaki’s impressive line of Teryx™ recreation utility vehicles. For 2009, the original Kawasaki Teryx 750 4×4 takes the next evolutionary step with the addition of digital fuel injection and a host of upgraded features.

An efficient CVT, integrated occupant protection, superior ground clearance, impressive cargo capacity, and sport handling made the original Teryx one of the most talked-about RUVs on the planet. The addition of a new digital fuel-injection (DFI) system to its mid-mounted 749cc 90-degree V-twin engine adds even more performance and utility to the Teryx, giving it a clear edge over its rivals.
The enhanced response provided by the Teryx’s new digital fuel injection system means its strong and proven V-twin engine is quicker-revving than ever. Kawasaki engineers kept much of the engine’s likeable character when they added DFI, but still found ways to improve it – such as changing the ignition timing to boost low and mid range torque and improve response at higher rpm. Other inherent benefits gained from adding DFI include automatic altitude compensation, automatic idle adjustment and easy, choke-free starting.
The fuel injection system’s sophisticated array of sensors includes an inlet air pressure, throttle position, crankshaft position, rpm, water temperature and a vehicle down sensor. As part of the DFI upgrade, the Teryx also received a new fuel tank with an internal fuel pump.

Mated to the engine is Kawasaki’s superb continuously variable transmission (CVT), which transfers the smooth power and quick response from the big V-twin to the wheels smoothly and quickly. The healthy output of this powertrain provides true sport performance, in a controlled manner that allows the driver to harness the full potential of this impressive vehicle. The CVT also received refinements for 2009. Both the intake and exhaust cooling ducts were revised to better prevent water or mud from entering the drive belt area. The new intake duct flows air to the CVT more effectively for better cooling while the intake air temperature is reduced via heat shielding on the exhaust pipe located below the intake duct.
Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) data was added to the CVT Belt Protection System’s sensor inputs. Other inputs include a gear sensor (not in neutral), vehicle speed (measured from the rear wheel), and engine speed. The extra input permits the system to better prevent tire freewheel and offer upgraded rock section performance with less belt overloading. Should the 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.
Power is nothing without control — big power demands a chassis to compliment it and once again the Teryx delivers with an ideal body width that is narrow enough to be useful and able to navigate most trails, yet wide enough to be stable and handle the healthy output from its V-twin. The wide track Teryx 750 FI 4×4 design exploits a large-diameter, thin-walled tubular frame offering the necessary rigidity without performance draining weight. It also meets SAE regulations as a roll-over protective structure (ROPS) with an arrangement spacious enough to comfortably fit two full-sized adults.
The Teryx 750 FI 4×4 shares the long A-arm and narrow frame concept of its sport brethren to give it the maximum travel while minimizing wheel camber change. For 2009, the adjustable Kayaba gas-charged shocks have revised settings combined with a new stabilizer bar to improve ride quality. Combined with the mid-ship engine, the balanced package offers superb control and cornering performance, even at top speed.

When the terrain requires it, the driver can activate 4WD with a simple servo-control switch. Further traction management is achieved via an ATV-style front differential control activated with a hand lever that functions like a rear hand brake and lets the driver select how much the wheels are locked together. The rear wheels stay locked and always turn together — much like a sport ATV — allowing the Teryx to slide around corners easier in a drift style.
It continues its dominance in the field with 26-inch Maxxis tires developed specifically for the Teryx 750 FI 4×4 that enable superb forward and sliding traction. The tall tires offer good rough terrain handling and contribute to its class leading ground clearance and ability to overcome obstacles.
A fast RUV would not be good without having equally capable stopping power and Teryx 750 FI 4×4 delivers. It employs 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’s able to keep working even in the wettest or muddiest of environments. Its compact profile further adds to the remarkable amount of ground clearance.
Of course, this substantial performance is matched by Kawasaki’s legendary durability and reliability that starts on the surface - tough scratch resistant Thermo-Plastic Olefin (TPO) bodywork, that is. Steel skid plates shield the Teryx’s engine and undercarriage from ride stopping obstacles.
Inside, bucket seats and retractable three-point seat belts keep the driver and passenger strapped in snugly; the Teryx 750 FI 4×4 has plenty of shoulder and leg room to provide a comfortable ride. It also has foot guards designed into the steel floor boards and body along with a padded steering wheel that is positioned low for better control. Standard equipment on all Teryx models, the new multi-function digital meter adds a fuel gauge and parking brake indicator to the standard hour meter, clock, odometer, dual trip meters and warning lights.

However, the Teryx 750 FI 4×4 isn’t all play and no work. Its standard 500-pound capacity, gas-assisted tilting cargo bed is ideal for recreational users, yet versatile enough for work and hauling. A cargo net and tie down hooks in all four corners keep the goods secure. Its 1,300-pound towing capacity expands those cargo abilities further.
When the sun drops the action doesn’t have to stop thanks to dual 40W headlights showing the way and dual rear taillights letting it be seen. A 7.4-gallon fuel tank allows the Teryx to operate longer so the journey isn’t cut short either. With such a cargo-carrying and transportability potential, it is an able partner for leisure/recreation activities, such as camping, hunting or day trips.
A large selection of authentic Kawasaki Accessories are available through Kawasaki dealers for the 2009 Teryx 750 FI 4×4. As with all off-highway vehicle recreation, Kawasaki encourages RUV drivers to drive responsibly and to respect the environment.

2009 Kawasaki Teryx™ 750 FI 4×4 Sport

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. The result is the most exhilarating two-seat ride available — the new Teryx 750 FI 4×4 Sport. Its head turning lime green color scheme with black accents and aluminum rims serves notice to the RUV world this machine is a force to be reckoned with.
Inheriting the Teryx family’s efficient CVT, integrated occupant protection, superior ground clearance, useful cargo capacity and fuel-injected, mid-mounted 749cc 90-degree V-twin engine, the Teryx 750 FI 4×4 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 4×4 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 4×4 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 4×4 Sport delivers with a body width that’s narrow enough to effectively negotiate trails, yet wide enough to provide excellent stability and 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 regulations 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 4×4 Sport’s aluminum alloy wheels maximum travel and minimal camber change throughout the suspension’s stroke. The cast and polished aluminum wheels offer reduced unsprung weight - by about two pounds each - and increased strength over the standard Teryx’s steel units and add to the Sport model’s appearance.

A revised stabilizer bar and increased adjustability on the new Teryx 750 FI 4×4 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 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 4×4 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.

Driver and passenger protection and conveniences are enhanced with integrated foot guards designed into the steel floor boards, along with a padded steering wheel positioned low for better control. Dual retractable cup holders offer additional convienience. 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 4×4 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.

2009 KAWASAKI TERYX™ 750 FI 4×4 NRA OUTDOORS

The ultimate fuel injected, fully camouflaged, hunting partner

The officially licensed Kawasaki Teryx™ 750 FI 4×4 NRA OUTDOORS recreation utility vehicle (RUV) features serious camouflage to help keep outdoorsmen hidden. Starting with a standard Teryx 750 FI 4×4 LE, the Teryx 750 FI 4×4 NRA OUTDOORS adds dual Kolpin gun scabbards and Realtree® APG HD™ camouflage to the bodywork, dashboard, roll cage, hard top, and all four wheels, to make it a perfect compliment to the hunting lifestyle. For 2009, the Teryx 750 FI 4×4 NRA OUTDOORS adds digital fuel injection to this winning formula.
A wide chassis, big V-twin power, efficient CVT, integrated occupant protection, superior ground clearance, impressive cargo capacity and sport handling made the original Teryx one of the most talked-about RUVs on the planet. The addition of a new digital fuel-injection (DFI) system to its mid-mounted 749cc 90-degree V-twin engine, helps add even more fun and utility to the Teryx, giving it a clear edge over its rivals.
The enhanced response provided by the Teryx’s new digital fuel injection system means its strong and proven V-twin engine is quicker-revving than ever. Kawasaki engineers kept much of the engine’s likeable character when they added DFI, but still found ways to improve it – such as changing the ignition timing to boost low and mid range torque and improve response at higher rpm. Other inherent benefits gained from adding DFI include automatic altitude compensation, automatic idle adjustment and easy, choke-free starting.

The fuel injection system’s sophisticated array of sensors includes an inlet air pressure, throttle position, crankshaft position, rpm, water temperature and a vehicle down sensor. As part of the DFI upgrade, the Teryx 750 FI 4×4 NRA OUTDOORS also received a new fuel tank with an internal fuel pump.
Mated to the engine is Kawasaki’s superb continuously variable transmission (CVT), which transfers the smooth power and quick response from the big V-twin to the wheels smoothly and quickly. The healthy output of this powertrain provides true sport performance, in a controlled manner that allows the driver to harness the full potential of this impressive vehicle. The CVT also received refinements for 2009. Both the intake and exhaust cooling ducts were revised to better prevent water or mud from entering the drive belt area. The new intake duct flows air to the CVT more effectively for better cooling while the intake air temperature is reduced via heat shielding on the exhaust pipe located below the intake duct.
Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) data was added to the CVT Belt Protection System’s sensor inputs. Other inputs include a gear sensor (not in neutral), vehicle speed (measured from the rear wheel), and engine speed. The extra input permits the system to better prevent tire freewheel and offer upgraded rock section performance with less belt overloading. Should the 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.
Power is nothing without control — big power demands a chassis to compliment it and once again the Teryx delivers with an ideal body width that is narrow enough to be useful and able to navigate the trail, yet wide enough to be stable and handle the healthy output from its V-twin. The wide track Teryx 750 FI 4×4 NRA OUTDOORS design exploits a large-diameter, thin-walled tubular frame offering the necessary rigidity without performance draining weight. It also meets SAE regulations as a roll-over protective structure (ROPS) with an arrangement spacious enough to comfortably fit two full-sized adults.

The Teryx 750 FI 4×4 NRA OUTDOORS shares the long A-arm and narrow frame concept of its sport brethren to give it the maximum travel while minimizing wheel camber change. For 2009, the adjustable Kayaba gas-charged shocks have revised settings combined with a new stabilizer bar to improve ride quality. Combined with the mid-ship engine, the balanced package offers superb control and cornering performance, even at top speed.
When the terrain requires it, the driver can activate 4WD with a simple servo-control switch. Further traction management is achieved via an ATV-style front differential control activated with a hand lever that functions like a rear hand brake and lets the driver select how much the wheels are locked together. The rear wheels stay locked and always turn together — much like a sport ATV — allowing the RUV to slide around corners easier in a drift style.
It continues its dominance in the field with 26-inch Maxxis tires developed specifically for the Teryx that enable superb forward and sliding traction. The tall tires offer good rough terrain handling and contribute to its class leading ground clearance and ability to overcome obstacles.
A powerful RUV wouldn’t be much fun without equally capable stopping power and Teryx 750 FI 4×4 NRA OUTDOORS delivers. It employs 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’s able to keep working even in the wettest or muddiest of environments. Its compact profile further adds to the remarkable amount of ground clearance.
Of course, this substantial performance is matched by Kawasaki’s legendary durability and reliability that starts on the surface - tough Thermo-Plastic Olefin (TPO) bodywork covered with Realtree® APG HD™ camouflage, that is. Steel skid plates underneath to shield the engine from the ride stopping obstacles. For the trip to and from the ride spot, the Teryx 750 FI 4×4 NRA OUTDOORS sports a stronger roof.

Inside, bucket seats and retractable three-point seat belts keep the driver and passenger strapped in snugly; the Teryx 750 FI 4×4 NRA OUTDOORS has plenty of shoulder and leg room to provide a comfortable ride. Rider comfort and conveniences are enhanced with a half-windshield and dual retractable cup holders. It also has foot guards designed into the steel floor boards and body along with a padded steering wheel that is positioned low for better control. Standard equipment on all Teryx models, the multi-function digital meter adds a fuel gauge and parking brake indicator to the hour meter, clock, odometer, dual trip meters and warning lights.
Don’t mistake it for just another camouflaged player. The Teryx 750 FI 4×4 NRA OUTDOORS has plenty of working skills too. Its standard 500-pound capacity, gas-assisted tilting cargo bed is ideal for recreational users, yet versatile enough for work and hauling. 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. Dual gun cases top off a package that is just about answers every rugged outdoorsman’s needs, whether he’s heading out or coming back from a successful hunt.
The action isn’t limited to daylight hours only thanks to dual 40W headlights showing the way and dual rear taillights letting it be seen. A 7.4-gallon fuel tank allows the Teryx to operate longer so the journey isn’t cut short either. With such a cargo-carrying and transportability potential, it is an able partner for leisure/recreation activities, such as camping, hunting or day trips.
A large selection of authentic Kawasaki Accessories are available for the 2009 Teryx 750 4×4 NRA OUTDOORS through Kawasaki dealers. As with all off-highway vehicle recreation, Kawasaki encourages RUV drivers to drive responsibly and to respect the environment.

  • Transmission utilizes a high-grade belt that’s highly durable and designed to handle the high output of the engine
  • The CVT Belt Protection System better prevents tire freewheel, has upgraded rock section performance and less belt overloading by adding Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) data into the system
  • For better protection against water entry, the intake and exhaust ducts were changed, with the new exhaust duct opening located higher and the revised intake duct flowing more air to the CVT for better cooling
  • Intake temperature reduced with heat shielding on the exhaust pipe below the intake duct

New Airbox design

  • Increasing air cleaner box volume and changing the ducting shape and length lowered the noise level near riders’ heads


Selectable Four-wheel-drive / Variable Front Differential Control

  • Rider can select two- or four-wheel-drive operation by pressing a button located on the dash
  • Electrically “selectable” 2WD/4WD system engages instantly
  • Limited-slip front differential reduces steering effort under normal four-wheel drive operation, while Variable Front Differential Control permits rider to distribute torque equally to left and right front wheels for maximum traction via a hand lever located between the seats
  • Rear wheels are locked and always turning together for cornering control


Wide-body Chassis

  • Large-diameter thin-walled tubular steel frame offers high rigidity – a perfect base for performance riding
  • Meets SAE regulations as a roll-over protective structure (ROPS)
  • First with sport performance-focused suspension – low-speed comfort not a main design priority
  • Wide track provides excellent stability and chassis has 11.7 inches of ground clearance
  • Utilizes the sport ATV long dual front A-arm suspension and narrow frame concept to maximize the length of the front and rear suspension’s lower A-arms, contributing to excellent road-handling performance
  • Chassis offers the right balance of bump absorption while limiting understeer
  • Able to tackle corners in either a drift or grip style and operate beyond the limits of its rivals

Sport-focused Suspension

  • High-performance, single-chamber, adjustable gas-charged Kayaba shocks offer excellent fade-resistant damping performance, even in hard conditions, while providing 7.5 inches of travel
  • Independent rear suspension provides the best balance of rider comfort and handling at high speeds, and 7.5 inches of travel
  • The adjustable gas-charged Kayaba rear shocks feature piggy-back reservoirs, further reducing the tendency of oil to froth under hard conditions
  • Both front and rear shocks are preload-adjustable
  • Increased rear suspension damping and compression force and decreased the stabilizer stiffness contribute to improved ride quality


High-performance Brakes

  • Dual front 200mm disc brakes gripped by 27mm twin-piston calipers and Kawasaki’s sealed, oil-bathed, multi-disc rear brake system provide maximum stopping power in all conditions
  • The compact size of the rear brake design contributes to a favorable ground clearance
  • The front discs are recessed in wheels for protection from debris, while the rigid-mount calipers deliver enhanced brake feel and increased control

Large 26-inch Tires

  • The 26-inch MAXXIS tires specially developed for the Teryx maximize forward traction while ffering excellent control characteristics for both aggressive cornering and sliding
  • Mounted on 12-inch rims, the largest tires available in the RUV category provide good rough terrain performance and obstacle clearance
