Vehicle Information
Kawasaki Mule 500 Side-by-Side (1990-1996)
The Kawasaki Mule 500, produced from 1990 to 1996, was a compact and versatile utility vehicle designed for personal use. Known for its robust and straightforward engineering, it was powered by a consistent 286cc, 4-stroke, OHV, single-cylinder, forced air-cooled engine throughout its production run. This model featured a reliable belt-drive torque converter transmission and 2-wheel drive, making it an ideal choice for light-duty tasks and easy maneuverability. Its compact size allowed it to fit conveniently in the back of a pickup truck, emphasizing its utility-focused design. During the 1990-1996 period, the Kawasaki Mule 500 maintained its core specifications without significant mid-cycle generation or engine changes. While internal model codes like KAF300-A1, KAF300-B1, and KAF300-B2 existed, they represented minor year-to-year revisions rather than distinct trim levels with varying feature sets. The Mule 500 was presented as a singular, compact utility vehicle, consistent in its design and capabilities across these years. Later models like the Mule 550 and 520 were introduced as distinct vehicles, not variations of the original Mule 500 within this specific timeframe.
