Vehicle Information
Kawasaki Mule 550 Side-by-Side (1997-2004)
The Kawasaki Mule 550, produced from 1997 to 2004, is a compact two-seater utility vehicle known for its durability. It was powered by a consistent 286cc air-cooled, OHV four-stroke single-cylinder engine throughout this period. Upon its debut in 1997, the Mule 550 featured several enhancements, including Ackerman steering, front suspension, redesigned pedals and brake pipes, and an optimized carburetion system.
While a "turf" variant, the Mule 520, was introduced in 1999, the Mule 550 model itself did not undergo significant mid-cycle generation changes or engine overhauls between 1997 and 2004. It maintained its original platform and engine, ensuring consistency for owners. FAQ:
