Frequently Asked Questions About Kawasaki SXS Door and Cab Accessories
Are Kawasaki OEM doors worth the investment compared to aftermarket options?
Genuine Kawasaki doors offer several advantages that justify their cost, including precise fitment without modification, materials tested specifically for your model's applications, seamless integration with factory mounting points, and consistent quality backed by Kawasaki's warranty. While some aftermarket doors may appear less expensive initially, they often require additional mounting hardware, may have fitment issues, and typically lack the refinement of factory-designed components. For riders who value quality, appearance, and long-term satisfaction, OEM doors represent a superior investment.
Can I install Kawasaki door kits myself, or is professional installation recommended?
Most Kawasaki door kits are designed for straightforward owner installation with basic hand tools. Each kit includes comprehensive instructions, and most installations can be completed in 1-3 hours depending on the model and door type. However, some full cab enclosures with complex components may benefit from professional installation to ensure proper alignment and sealing. If you're comfortable with basic mechanical work and following detailed instructions, self-installation is certainly feasible for most door systems.
Will adding doors and cab enclosures to my Kawasaki Teryx or Mule affect its performance?
Adding a complete cab enclosure does add some weight to your vehicle (typically 50-100 pounds depending on the components), which may slightly affect acceleration and fuel economy. However, the aerodynamic benefits of a properly designed cab system can partially offset these effects at higher speeds. Most riders find the comfort benefits far outweigh any minor performance changes. Kawasaki engineers design their accessories with performance impacts in mind, minimizing any negative effects while maximizing protection and comfort.
Can I mix OEM and aftermarket components in my door and cab setup?
While technically possible in some cases, mixing components often results in fitment issues, sealing problems, and inconsistent appearance. Kawasaki designs their door and cab systems as integrated units with components that work together. If budget constraints prevent purchasing a complete OEM system, we recommend prioritizing OEM components for the most critical elements (typically doors and latching mechanisms) while considering carefully selected aftermarket options for simpler components like roof panels or rear screens.
How do I care for the plastic windows in my Kawasaki door system?
Polycarbonate and acrylic windows require specific care to maintain clarity and prevent scratching. Clean with plenty of water and mild soap, avoiding paper towels or rough cloths that can scratch the surface. Use microfiber towels for drying and specialized plastic cleaners designed for powersports applications. Never use ammonia-based glass cleaners, as they cause clouding and cracking in plastic windows. For light scratches, specialized plastic polishing compounds can often restore clarity when used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
