Reliable and powerful worker keeps productivity up and operating costs down
Easily finding a home in any farm, ranch or industrial environment, the two-wheel-drive Kawasaki Mule 600 utility vehicle is equally adept in a recreation role in the great outdoors. Two people can get the job done or enjoy the funat a price less than many ATVs. This unique versatility has popularized Kawasakis entry-level utility model while simplifying the transport of the Mule 600 with its ability to fit in the back of a full-size pickup truck.
The Mule 600 features a single-cylinder engine mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT), a dual-mode rear differential, independent front suspension, unit swing-axle rear suspension and hydraulic brakes.
A spacious cab with curved body panels and a large-diameter steel tube frame structurethat meets ROPS requirementspresents a clean, modern look, with automotive-type controls and a gear selector within easy reach on the dashboard. Comfort features include two large cup holders, a passenger-side glove box and grab handle, and more storage space located beneath the hood.
As is the case for many utility vehicle owners, the engine is one of the enticing features of the Mule 600. The durable air-cooled, single-cylinder 401cc four-stroke engine utilizes a cooling fan to help maintain an ideal operating temperature. In this new 2009 model, the flap in the rear left tire housing was widened slightly to minimize mud entering the engine area.
Equally important, the engine starts easily thanks to an enrichening system that partially opens the throttle during ignition and can be started in forward or reverse gear, provided the brakes are applied.
Kawasakis Mule 600 transfers its power to the ground through a CVT, equipped with durable materials and a long-lasting drive belt. This unit utilizes a dependable, low-maintenance shaft drive and a dual-mode differential, which can be locked to maximize traction on adverse terrain.
The Mule 600 rides on a MacPherson strut suspension up front, and unit swing-axle handles the rear suspension duties. Large 22-inch tires enhance the ride quality further and sealed, hydraulic drum brakes at all four wheels provide ample stopping power.
Increasing its work versatility are bright 35w headlights and the 400-pound capable tilting cargo bed, which features tailgate latches that are easy to fasten quickly and securely. The Mule 600 can tow up to 1,100 pounds with an optional Kawasaki draw bar. Popular accessories include an enclosed cab, snow plow, winch, and soft or hard tops. These and many other Authentic Kawasaki Accessories are available through Kawasaki dealers.

Details & Features
At a glance
- Best compact off-road utility vehicle
- Easy to use, with low operating costs
- Can be easily transported in the back of a full-size pickup truck
- Can tow up to 1,100 lbs. with optional Kawasaki draw bar
Fan-Cooled, Single-Cylinder Engine
- Simple, lightweight, durable, and quiet 401cc four-stroke engine
- Modern 4-stroke overhead valve design for efficient running and good fuel economy
- Fan cooling helps the engine maintain an ideal operating temperature
Easy Starting
- Choke opens throttle during starting so accelerator pedal does not need to be depressed
- Can be started in gear by depressing brake pedal
Gear Driven Engine Balancer
- Balanced weight opposite the piston cuts vibration dramatically and minimizes noise and wear
- Maximizes operator comfort, and diminishes fatigue
Environmentally Friendly Emissions
- Carburetor settings cut exhaust emissions
- Positive crankcase ventilation system recycles blow-by gasses to the intake tract to be burned in the engine
- Muffler has USFS-approved spark arrestor
- California models have a check valve on the fuel tank to charcoal canister connector hose for preventing gasoline from entering the canister when operating on inclines or over rough terrain
Kawasaki Automatic Power-Drive System (KAPS)
- Simple and lightweight CVT is fully automatic and keeps engine speed in most efficient range for any vehicle speed, load, or terrain
- An open-sided drive pulley cools better for longer belt life.
- Belt deflection can easily be adjusted by changing shim thickness of the adjuster bolt located on the outside of the driven converter
- Cooling air flows in from a vent in the cab frame through a special air filter, which keeps out water and dust for increased belt life
- Long wearing double cog CVT belt
Dual-Mode Differential
- Locked mode for maximum traction in difficult conditions
- Unlocked mode decreases turning radius and minimizes ground disturbance – great for use on grass.
Rack and Pinion Steering
- Rack-and-pinion steering helps to keep steering light and accurate, which makes maneuvering in tight working quarters a snap
