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?
- STRENGTH: The first CVT belt utilizing carbon tensile cord for minimal stretch and extraordinary strength.
- FLEXIBILITY: High-performance neoprene with a trapezoidal topnotch and rounded bottom cog design maximizing heat control and flexibility.
- DURABILITY: Carbon tensile cords are bonded to aramid fiber-loaded rubber with specially formulated adhesion gum, resulting in increased side-load resistance, preventing belt distortion and edge cord pullout.
- PERFORMANCE: Gain optimal power transmission for faster acceleration, improved throttle response and consistent shifting performance.

Vehicle Information
Kawasaki Mule 4000 Side-by-Side (2009-2023)
The Kawasaki Mule 4000 series, produced from 2009 to 2023, is a robust utility vehicle known for its durability and versatility. This lineup primarily featured two reliable engine options: a 617cc liquid-cooled V-twin gasoline engine delivering 20.0 hp, and a 953cc liquid-cooled three-cylinder diesel engine offering 24 hp for heavier tasks. These models were designed to meet diverse utility needs, offering configurations from 2WD to 4WD and various passenger capacities. While the core platform and engine options remained largely consistent throughout its production, the 4000 series saw significant initial updates in 2009. This included the introduction of Digital Fuel Injection (DFI) for the gasoline engine, improving performance and efficiency, and the availability of Electric Power Steering (EPS) on certain 4010 4x4 and Trans4x4 models. Although new trims like the Fleet Edition (FE) were introduced later, there was no complete mid-cycle generation overhaul that drastically altered the vehicle's fundamental design between 2009 and 2023. Q: How do I know which Kawasaki Mule 4000 model I have?
