Description
For over a century, Gates has driven innovation in belt technology to power the machines that move you. Gates® G-Force C12 CVT belt drives are engineered to navigate the toughest off-road trails with power and efficiency. The industry's first CVT belt with carbon tensile cord also features a trapezoid top-notch and rounded cog design for superior flexibility and heat dissipation, along with a unique gum adhesion that reduces fiber pullout within the belt extending the life of the belt. Gates combines material science and process engineering to create innovative products that provide performance, reliability and the strength to withstand even the most challenging off-road environments. Continuous innovation isn't just what we do. It's who we are.
WHY G-FORCE C12 BELTS?

Vehicle Information
Kawasaki Mule 3020 Side-by-Side (2001-2003)
The Kawasaki Mule 3020, produced from 2001 to 2003, was part of the new 3000 series, which introduced a more modern design and improved features. This model was specifically designed as a "turf-model" for work on smooth or delicate surfaces, such as golf courses. It was powered by a liquid-cooled, four-stroke 617cc V-twin engine, featuring a digital electronic ignition and a double-barrel carburetor. Power was transferred through a Kawasaki Automatic Power-Drive System, a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The Mule 3020 was presented as a distinct model within the 3000 series, characterized by its smooth-tread tires and suitability for minimizing ground disturbance. There were no mid-cycle engine or generational changes for the 3020 between 2001 and 2003. FAQ:

Maintenance
| Component | Interval | Details |
| Engine Oil Change | Every 50 to 100 hours or as recommended in the owner's manual | Oil level should be checked before each ride. For some Kawasaki engines, the first oil change is after 8 hours, then every 100 hours. |
| Oil Filter Replacement | Regularly with oil changes | For some Kawasaki engines, the oil filter should be changed every 200 hours. Some manuals also suggest replacement during 250-hour service. |
| Air Filter Inspection and Service | Every 50 to 100 hours or at least once per season | More frequently in dusty or muddy conditions. The element can often be cleaned and reused. Replace if the filter is dark, oily, torn, or compressed. For some Kawasaki engines, the paper air filter element should be replaced annually or every 200 hours. |
| Drive Belt Inspection | Every 100 hours or if performance issues arise | Replace the CVT belt if it shows signs of wear or cracking to prevent transmission slippage. |
| Spark Plug Cleaning and Gapping | Every 250 hours or 5 000 km | Uses Kawasaki Spark Plug BPR2ES. The gap should be 0.8-0.9 mm. |
| Coolant Level Check | Check coolant level when engine is cold | If below 'L', add to 'F'. Check level and top off if needed with correct coolant type every 100 hours or annually. For some models, coolant should be changed every 2 years. |
These intervals are general guidelines. Actual needs may vary based on operating conditions. Always refer to your specific vehicle's owner's manual.
