Getting a Mule soon once stop sale over.

Only issue I have is Mule is limited to 47 mph.

Most of my road around my place (before getting to off-road) is 40 mph.  However most people drive 50 mph.  I would like to be able to go 50 mph in the Mule for short distances (2-3 miles) while on the public roads.  I know the engine is more than capable since the same engine is in the Arctic Cat Prowler Crew and those are limited to 51 mph.  So what tune/piggyback is safe to add the 3-4 mph more top end I'm desiring?  Thanks

It probably is possible to get a few extra MPH. Of course, the engine may already be capable of doing 50+, you just need to take that rotational power and put it to the ground. Via transmission and centrifugal clutches..

But going over a limited speed is tough on a CVT system drive belt since it heats up fairly quickly when running at a sustained speed. And can cause cracking and overall premature wear.

I can also say for certain any modifications you do will most likely void the warranty.

      Mule 600/610/SX spark plug fouling issue
      By Travis
      Many people have issues with the kawasaki FJ400 engine  fouling out spark plugs, after  working on a  few FJ engines and 600 series Mule's with this issue,  i can say the fix for this issue is using a slightly hotter spark plug... the factory recommends a BPR6ES NGK plug.... the Number in NGK plugs represents its heat range and somewhat odd, the lower the number the hotter the plug, at least as far as NGK is concerned. If you have  a Mule fouling spark plugs try installing a NGK BPR4ES spark plug.
      FROM NGK
      A hotter heat range spark plug has an insulator design with a longer heat flow path to the metal shell of the plug. As a result, more heat stays in the ceramic firing end and less is dissipated to the engine. A colder heat range spark plug has an insulator design with a shorter heat flow path to the metal shell of the plug. As a result, less heat stays in the ceramic firing end and more is dissipated to the engine. For a spark plug to function properly, it must have a tip temperature high enough to burn off carbon deposits (self-cleaning) and avoid fouling, while remaining low enough to avoid overheating the ceramic firing end and pre-ignition.

      Changing the Display to MPH from KPH
      By russnropes
      For the life of me I cannot find the directions on how to change the display to the standard for the USA - MPH. Not sure why Tractor Supply didn't do it before I bought it but it is what it is. Does anyone have the instructions to do this. I have the 2023 T Boss 550 just to be clear.

      "R" light will not go out when the UVT is in any other gear. Is this an issue?
      By Steve B
      My "R" light on the dash will not go out when I take the UTV out of reverse and put it into any other gear. Is this just the light switch issue or will this effect engine performance in the other gears?
