Kawasaki Mule SX XC Hour Display

[rsar]

Hey guys. So we've just gone over the 10-mile mark on the new Mule and the hour display has yet to actually display any numbers, or anything other than what looks like a flashing hourglass. I've reached out to the dealer but they haven't really shed much light. They say it could just be that we've only put slow miles on it (and we have. we definitely haven't even  hit top speed yet.) or it is simply showing that  it's accumulating time, or it may need service. I can't imagine that it could possibly need service already. I've checked all the fluids and I haven't noticed any issues whatsoever. It seems to be running better everyday. In any case, I've attached a picture as well as a video of the display in the hopes that someone can ease my mind and tell me there's nothing catastrophic going on here.

you appear to be at 10.6 hours, it counts hours 1/10th  of an hour at a time while running.

It's just an hour meter, working like it's supposed to. So just relax, and enjoy the new Mule.

Don't use the 4wd on hard surfaces, or riding around. Only while you're actually in the mud, or a short straight stretch of road, or hardpack surface. Where you can engage the 4wd, while going straight for a bit to keep it all lubricated. 

But those expensive tiny gears, and other components, won't take the stress of leaving it in 4wd on hardbpack surfaces.

So looks like I've been reading it wrong. It only displays hours, not miles. Here I thought it was supposed to display both. Apparently what I thought was 10.6 miles is actually 10.6 hours.

Yep, most Kawasaki machines only keep track of Hours and not miles.

Mine has an odometer with the speedometer. But the hour meter is a stand alone guage
