00:00 Aaron, what are we doing?

00:02 We are weighing our 2023 Kawasaki KRX

00:07 4

00:09 ES

00:10 ES

00:11 I got all the...

00:12 Got all the nomenclatures screwed up

00:14 We've been waiting on, right?

00:22 Like, KRX has been out for a while and they finally put a backseat in the thing

00:25 We finally got our hands on one

00:28 Yeah, I got to drive this thing out in Utah and it ripped

00:31 So yeah, we got it here

00:35 Every time we get a new rig in, we weigh it as part of our testing

00:40 Sure enough

00:42 So, we're going to play a little game

00:44 What game are we going to play?

00:46 We're going to play a little "Prices, Right?"

00:48 Just a moment

00:49 Just a moment

00:50 I...

00:52 I love your applause

00:54 Full disclosure, we have not had this thing on the scales yet, so we're not reenacting

00:59 We've got the scales, the ProForm scales, set up

01:01 They're ready to roll, so we've got to roll it on there

01:04 Gage

01:05 Oh wait, wait, wait, I need a marker

01:08 Hup, hup, hup, hup, hup

01:11 We're calling...

01:21 1700

01:22 1700

01:24 1700, okay, alright, alright

01:27 Gage

01:29 1700

01:33 So, I don't...

01:35 Now that you've cast that vote, I want you to be aware that our two-seat X3 weighed in at more than 1700 pounds

01:43 Yeah, and I remember what the buyers got on this

01:46 Oh, he did

01:48 He did

01:49 Inside, not...

01:50 I don't even remember how much

01:52 I do know how much it is

01:54 Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay

01:55 So you're saying you weren't paying attention when you wrote the buyers' guy

01:58 Cool

01:59 No

02:00 Yes

02:01 Aaron, Aaron

02:03 2350

02:07 Okay, okay

02:08 I mean, I thought a continuum stereo was good for at least, what, 15, 20 pounds

02:15 Okay, alright, let's cross-spread

02:17 Alright, so here's what I'm thinking

02:20 This is a demo unit, okay

02:23 The last time I was talking to the engineers at Polaris

02:28 They said that a unit can pick up as much as 400 pounds of mud

02:34 He couldn't see me

02:38 The floorboard's got...

02:40 A fair amount of mud

02:43 Like, that you can see

02:45 Yeah

02:46 And mud's kind of like rust

02:47 Which means the stuff you can see ain't but a third of it

02:52 Alright, so that's the question

02:54 Do I go higher than 2350?

02:56 Are we doing actual prices right?

02:58 Yeah, we're doing prices right, yeah, dude

03:00 Okay, so I'm still pretty confident in mine

03:01 St. Bob Barker, man

03:03 St. Bob Barker, alright, alright

03:04 I'm gonna go...

03:06 Zach...

03:08 I'm gonna go 2351

03:12 Okay, okay, okay

03:16 Alright, Zach

03:18 Alright, let's go sing Wade

03:20 So here's the situation we got here

03:22 We got these handy little race ramps

03:25 And we just sort of easily pull onto our pads

03:29 We did not spring for the wireless Duma jammer

03:34 But that's okay, that's okay, wires are fine

03:37 Alright, alright

03:45 Come on, now

03:49 Hey, you got it in four wheel?

03:55 You got it in low?

03:58 Yes

03:59 Okay

04:00 No, I'm burning it up

04:03 Alright, alright, alright

04:05 I hope...

04:20 Got the brake on?

04:26 Man, it's just a dang old complicated, you know

04:28 I got a dang old Rubik's Cube, man

04:32 Oh, yeah

04:34 A little bit more

04:37 A little bit more

04:41 Oh!

04:44 Alright

04:46 Alright

04:48 We got a full tank of fuel, right?

04:50 Full tank of fuel

04:52 Oh!

04:54 Oh!

04:57 Dang

04:59 How much money?

05:01 One thousand six hundred ninety...

05:03 Two...

05:04 Three pounds

05:06 Oh, wait, what's happening to our...

05:08 Sixteen fifty seven

05:10 Oh, I should settle on that

05:11 Sixteen... How did you...

05:12 Right on there

05:13 How did you know that?

05:14 Sixteen hundred and fifty seven pounds?

05:16 Dang, sixteen fifty seven

05:18 Look at it!

05:19 Yeah, it's...

05:20 Okay, so, look at it

05:21 Yeah, right, like...

05:22 I got a six foot wing span

05:24 Let's not exaggerate for the internet

05:26 Okay

05:28 Hey, we got a scale

05:30 Wait, look at this full size Jeep next to it

05:33 Yeah, and that sucker weighs...

05:35 What did ours weigh out of?

05:37 It was like twenty four hundred pounds or something

05:39 So...

05:40 And also, a Razor Pro-R

05:42 Not to continue to bring up the Razor Pro-R

05:44 But she a porky girl

05:45 That's a twenty four hundred pound rig

05:47 And it's got half the seating capacity

05:49 and none of the load capacity for this thing

05:51 That's one of the things that we talk about a lot

05:53 is that, you know, everybody likes to look at horsepower

05:56 and horsepower is only part of the party

05:58 This thing puts out, I think it's like a hundred and ten

06:00 Hundred-ish, a hundred and ten

06:01 They don't like to tell us

06:03 Um...

06:05 But it weighs substantially less than a Pro-R

06:08 So, yeah, a Pro-R makes two twenty five

06:10 And I'm not saying this is a Pro-R competitor by any means

06:12 But I think the performance for most people

06:14 is going to be way more similar than they think

06:17 It's going to be...

06:18 It'll be all you need

06:19 Okay, so what does Gage win?

06:21 For, uh...

06:23 You get to pull it off the scales

06:25 and roll it out of the shop

06:26 Yeah!

06:27 Woo-hoo-hoo!

06:28 Day two

06:30 Tight ship here

06:32 So, um...

06:34 [laughter]

06:35 It was a couple days later

06:37 Uh...

06:38 We were editing the video

06:40 in which we weigh this fine piece of machinery

06:44 And, uh...

06:45 I realized that one of the scales

06:48 was reading zero

06:50 Yeah

06:51 Uh-huh

06:52 Oh, wait, what's happening, Greg?

06:54 Scaling...

06:55 I'm not saying that it was an intentional sabotage

06:58 I'm just saying that there was sabotage

07:00 Insert minion labor joke

07:02 [laughter]

07:04 You will get that on these Kawasaki jobs

07:08 I mean, it was almost nine o'clock break

07:10 Yeah, dude

07:11 To be fair, when we did the last one

07:12 Yeah, dude, it was close to lunch on Friday

07:14 Uh...

07:15 Anyway, long story short

07:17 The Kawasaki KRX-4ES

07:20 does not weigh seventeen hundred pounds

07:22 No

07:23 Spoiler alert

07:24 No, no

07:25 So the question, the question now

07:27 is how much does one corner of a Kawasaki weigh?

07:30 'Cause that's what we need to figure out here, right?

07:33 Okay, and the other thing we did was

07:35 since the other day, we erased our prices

07:37 Right, guesses

07:38 Yeah

07:39 We did a KRX

07:40 'Cause we thought, we'll never need these again

07:41 Yeah, don't need those

07:42 Commander's still up there

07:43 Don't need those where we're going

07:44 So...

07:45 KRX, KRX, KRX

07:49 So yeah, we get to redo our guesses

07:51 So does our scale man get to guess

07:53 given that he sabotaged us last time?

07:55 Yes, absolutely

07:56 Yeah, we got a force to get through

07:58 Wouldn't be fair

07:59 We got a lot of wars here, man

08:00 We got a lot of wars

08:01 I've got a better question

08:03 We know what our guesses were last time

08:06 We know what the rig weighed last time

08:08 Should we guess how much one corner of it weighs?

08:11 Would that be more entertaining?

08:13 It wouldn't be more instructive

08:15 But you can go on the internet and read how much a KRX weighs

08:19 Yeah, dude

08:20 I mean, assuming...

08:21 I mean, most people are reading, so it'll be fine

08:23 I mean, I feel like most people who are watching this are already on the internet

08:27 Probably most of them know how much a KRX...

08:31 Alright

08:32 [Laughter]

08:33 Alright, alright, alright

08:35 So let's do one corner

08:37 Let's do one corner

08:39 [Sigh]

08:40 Alright, gauge...

08:43 Judas

08:44 So it weighs roughly 1,670 pounds

08:48 When we only weighed three quarters of it

08:50 Mm-hmm

08:51 Yeah

08:52 Got it

08:53 So...

08:54 There's math happening

08:55 Right corner, back passenger corner

08:57 Watch out

08:58 Cowey KRX

08:59 We're watching a writer do some math, that's what's happening

09:01 [Laughter]

09:03 How much coffee you got in that mug, bud?

09:05 Not enough

09:06 [Laughter]

09:09 I'm going to say that this thing will weigh...

09:14 2,350 assuming all four scales are plugged in

09:18 2,350

09:19 Which means...

09:20 Okay, okay

09:21 That that corner weighs 600 pounds

09:25 600!

09:27 600 pounds

09:29 Aaron...

09:30 Come on, focus now

09:32 Come on, focus now, yeah!

09:34 650

09:35 650 pounds

09:36 650 lubbers

09:41 Right rear corner

09:44 It's like 315 kilos for our friends in Canada

09:48 Do we have friends in Canada?

09:50 I don't know how much it's in math

09:52 I've got friends in Canada

09:53 Mmmmmmm

09:55 No

09:58 I'm going to say...

10:00 [Clapping]

10:02 I'm going to say 500

10:04 500?

10:05 500

10:06 Right on the bottom, alright?

10:07 550

10:08 Judas says 550

10:10 No, that's not how that works

10:12 Captain Ascariot

10:14 You have to do 501

10:16 Captain Ascariot over there

10:18 Alright, okay, alright

10:20 See, I won't stoop to a level of exact pace and say...

10:24 Look man, look man

10:26 Strategy is strategy

10:28 There's a 50 point margin right there where you could win

10:31 [Laughter]

10:32 Odds are not in my favor

10:34 Okay, I heard a click, that sounds good

10:37 That sounded positive

10:39 Okay, so our scaling equation has been plugged in

10:43 Mmhmm, liking that

10:45 Now if we can remember from Canada on

10:47 Mmhmm, mmhmm, mmhmm

10:49 The unit

10:51 Alright

10:53 Let's check

10:54 Got a live one

10:55 Oh, he's plugging that in

10:57 Yeah, you want to explain to us what occurred in the last one?

11:00 Yeah, well you'll see it in the clip

11:02 I think we have a clip of that

11:04 This was here

11:06 So that's not a positive connection

11:09 What we needed was

11:11 That

11:13 That little click

11:15 That one's plugged in, we can guarantee

11:17 Also, it tells us on the scale, we didn't bother

11:19 It doesn't actually

11:21 Oh, it doesn't?

11:23 Oh, that's right, that one corner it said was weighing 8 pounds

11:26 Oh wait, what's happening Greg?

11:29 Okay

11:31 Alright, she zeroed up

11:33 Go ahead and hop on in there

11:35 Gage, hop on in there

11:37 Yeah, last time it didn't go so well for me

11:39 Watch out for any buildings that might

11:41 Did you say Gage hit the building?

11:43 Weird, remember when you busted the LED on the trailer?

11:45 Oh, sass

11:47 Alright

11:49 Nice and easy

11:59 Little bit more

12:01 Little bit more

12:03 Ah!

12:05 There you go

12:07 Okay

12:11 Oh well, I was

12:13 Off by 6 or 7 miles

12:15 Woo!

12:17 Alright, okay

12:19 So we're at

12:21 245

12:23 With 601

12:25 On the right rear

12:27 2246

12:29 2246

12:31 Yep

12:33 So you went over

12:37 I let my mother down

12:39 I let Kawasaki down

12:41 What was the total weight, 22?

12:43 2246

12:45 525

12:47 And it was 601?

12:49 601 pounds on the right rear

12:51 One lubba's

12:53 Alright, so that means Gage wins again

12:55 God, I'm getting tired of this

12:57 Man

12:59 Man

13:01 Ifs and buts, or nuts and candy

13:03 We'd all be on a tighter ship

13:05 That whole thing

13:07 It's clearly that that ORV trail sticker

13:09 Yeah dude

13:11 100%

13:13 Let's go

13:15 Our ceiling leaks, that's fine

13:17 Alright, so what did we learn here?

13:19 Plug in your

13:21 Proform skills

13:23 Yeah, yeah dude

13:25 We'll get the tireless ones next time

13:27 Still worth pointing out that

13:29 2245

13:31 This 4 seat rig weighs about

13:33 What a 2 seat Pro-R weighs

13:35 Yeah, it's a little bit more but not enough

13:37 More to notice, I feel like

13:39 And

13:41 Yeah, it's

13:43 A big, big machine

13:45 Yeah

13:47 Cars that big weigh 4,000 pounds

13:49 Not now

13:51 At this point

13:53 Alright, Gage
