New Owner 4/18/25, First Kawi Purchase

[gknight248]

2025 Ridge XR Deluxe
Took the leap from lifelong Honda owner. The Ridge had too much to offer.
Factory Light Bars, Nerf Bars, Bed Cargo Rack, Sound System, Garmin and aftermarket turn signal kit.
30" Kenda Klevers. Waiting on mirrors and winch.
Took it out for a 9 hour ride on 4/19. Tight, rough, rutted and low speed trails with a lot of wash outs. Steep climbs on logging roads.
This is the quietest and smoothest riding buggy I have ever rode in or driven. I previously owned a 2018 Pioneer and 2023 Talon.

Dealer had them in stock. They swapped the tires before I picked it up.

I'm glad to hear it's quiet. That's the big knock with the competition.

They must have made a huge improvement from 24 to 25. I watched a 24 Limited pass my house recently. It was screaming.

I now have 2100 miles on my Camo Ridge. This machine is a huge upgrade from my previous machine, a 2018 Mule FXR. I've had this machine for over seven months & the side mirrors and rear bumper, which had been on back order have now been installed. I am totally satisfied with my purchase. The dealership made an adjustment to my passenger door, which was coming loose at times. Everything is fine now. The belt does squeal on most take-offs, but the dealer said he's address that at a later day, too busy the day the mirrors were installed.
