For anyone that doesn't know...ROCKY HEAP started this thread in 2021 and is now, passed on...
Good to see his efforts are continuing on for the new riders!

 

I wired in my own cam since the ES didn’t come with one. If you’re wanting higher quality footage or a wide view for trails, I ended up going with a dash cam setup from store.insta360.com and it’s been solid. It’s small, mounts clean, and you can review everything straight from your phone which is handy after a ride or for checking trail backups.

 

Like previously stated, only the ES comes pre-wired for the front/rear camera.

Per Kawasaki’s website, “for all other TERYX KRX®4 1000/TERYX KRX® 1000 applications; seamless integration using the Kawasaki Interactive Display (99994-1469) and Camera Wire Extension Kit (99994-1854 or 99994-1726), sold separately”

 

I'm wondering what all is needed to run the factory back-up camera with the new eS model? and a front camera too? how do you toggle between them? needed: backup camera extension cable run thru the tunnel a new display, or is it incorporated into the dash instrument panel?

So did you have any luck finding out what you need?

 

Bandits work great..actually have to dial down preload on the stage 3's. 32" KM3's are a giant improvement over stock tires for desert riding. Machine scales in at just under 2900 pounds with 2 adults and all gear. 2490 as you see it.

 

That's what I found with my Bandit stage 3, I would like to try stage 2- 18 clicks out front and 20 rear. Add mud out east and >3k easy.

 

I think they made a great unit then said, how can we maximize the profit. No rubber shifter/brake covers? What engineer said that wasn't necessary over coolant lines or did the actuarial staff, say we can leave that off and save $.39 per unit (or much less). Model A has them. Do you think they did heat, sound and vibration analysis? Just get it on the showroom floor they'll consume it.
Let them fix it themselves and give higher level aftermarket shops a bone for helping develop the product. Look how everyone has to replace the suspension components on their x3. How many toe link supports should customers have to install until the manufacturer makes a change, all of them at 200 miles. They sale all they can produce. No need to fix and our partners do testing for us.
Simple poor quality steel and/or faster production practices. I never had to touch my bandits after installation.

 

Keep us informed how the live suspension reacts to the new bandit springs.

 

Spoke with Shock Therapy about springs and they don't have a test mule so any R&D is months out from them. I figured it worth it for the Bandit stage 3 for Es due to the added weight on my machine..

 

Get Click 6 retractable seat harnesses ASAP. they'll save your butt.!

 

I went the Simpson D3 route...the DG dust (crushed quartz) I ride in eats the plastic push buttons and internals. But yes...stock 3 point system does not inspire confidence in the event of an issue. Dynojet tune wakes up machine along with RCOR clutch weights. KM3's here now ( Carnivores wear very fast on local terrain) and Bandit springs tomorrow. I have race scales and machine is 2414 without driver or passenger. Stuff adds up fast. So take that into consideration when thinking about suspension and sag. Overall the active suspension rocks. I especially like taking corners sans body roll.

 

Welcome Leadermon to the forums! Be sure to post more eS content. We're a rare breed.

 

Better late then never it’s said. Joining the eS group next week. A new 23 eS 2 seater will be in our toyhauler garage. Early Christmas gift for my wife 😍😇.
Happy to be part of the bigger KRX GROUP…

 

I run front and back on my Es. Takes about 10 minutes to install both. Don't need to remove bumper per intstruction if you have a right angle drill. Both are plug and play and have really good coverage tire to tire wide.

 

very cool. thanks for the info!

 

Any generic camera will work. However, the TFT display doesn’t support AHD. It must be CVBS.
This is the wire connector you’re looking to locate. It is right next to the auxiliary power connectors under front passenger & driver rear fenders.

The brown wire is 12v +, black wire is 12v -, the green wire is camera video ground, blue wire is camera video signal.
The white sheathed wire in the picture is a temporary jump wire to camera to verify polarity.

The “select” button chooses the camera function (automatically available upon detection of camera after cycling of ignition switch). The “up” or “down” button chooses the camera and additional pushes selects zoom feature.

I have generic cameras from previous projects on front & rear.
The rear is on my license bracket and the front is right above grill opening.

 

Thanks JayTrain.

 

The cameras plug into pre-existing/installed harnesses (eS models only). The rear is on the driver's side right behind the taillight and the front is on the passenger's side behind the headlight. Both are covered in electrical tape. Just look for a little "bump" in the harness right against the main chassis frame. They shouldn't be too difficult to locate. Once they're installed, the system detects both and you use the two function buttons to both switch between each camera as well as to zoom each camera. I believe the "Select/Return" button toggles between front and rear, and the "Up/Down" button changes the zoom level. There are 3 or 4 different zoom levels on each camera. The camera's picture is displayed directly on the main TFT display under the "Camera" selection.

BE CAREFUL!!! if you cut the electrical tape covering the connectors. The two wires in the harness for those connectors are SUPER TINY. A halfway sharp knife WILL go right through those wires.

 

Hi Jay having I'm trouble locating the plug could it be that they didn't put it on my machine. Ty

 

It frustrates me that they couldn't add a couple hundred bucks to the tab and make it a "premier" type accessory to a very cool unit!!!!!

 

Please search there are multiple posts on this covered topic. See below. @texdoc77 installed them.

KRX 1000es build thread

I am a previous can am maverick owner and moved over to the Kawasaki for reliability and ease of maintenance. Currently I plan on adding harnesses, front and rear windshields and a winch along with rear storage. I will detail my journey and builds through this thread. Please feel free to follow...

I think Texdoc77 has one. Check the build thread, I'm pretty sure he talks about having both cameras.
