Vehicle Information
Kawasaki Mule 3010 Side-by-Side (2001-2008)
The Kawasaki Mule 3010 series, produced from 2001 to 2008, was a versatile utility vehicle offered with both gasoline and diesel engine options. The standard 4x4 model typically featured a 617cc liquid-cooled V-Twin gasoline engine, delivering approximately 20 horsepower. For those needing more power, a 953cc liquid-cooled three-cylinder diesel engine was also available, known for its high torque at low RPM. Throughout its production run, the Mule 3010 saw key introductions. In 2003, the Mule 3010 Diesel was launched, bringing the more powerful 953cc diesel engine along with upgrades like a stronger CVT belt. The year 2005 marked the arrival of the Mule 3010 Trans4x4, a highly adaptable trim allowing conversion between a two-passenger vehicle with an extended bed and a four-passenger setup. Gasoline models retained their carbureted system during these years. Frequently Asked Questions
