I serviced my Kaw 4010 mule yesterday, per owner's manual every 100 hours. It faster for me to service it vs taking to dealer. Not to mention materials, oils and filter, cost less than $25 vs dealer's $170. I changed engine oil, front and real axles oils.
Mule is 5 years old and 500 hours. It wasn't idling just right. No manual adjustments you want to mess with, it's fuel injected. I fine tune the idle fuel mix by tricking the computer into thinking the air temp is warmer by using a thermosister in parallel with air temp thermosister. I increased the parallel resistance by 500 ohms. Idle speed is critical, 950-1050 rpms only. Having clean throttle plates is critical too.
Yesterday I drilled a 3/8 inch hole is air intake so I could use a camera to inspect throttle place. Sure enough, it needed cleaned. Used carb cleaner and cleaned the throttle plate connected to gas peddle. Held that plate open and cleaned the second throttle place the computer controls.
I had a 1985 goldwing, to had screws in air intake you would remove to clean throttle plates. Needed to do that every 3k miles.
I also service and repair my tractors and mowers? When Car and Truck were new, I would let dealer service them because they were under warranty. Now I do that too. So how many service their UTV? Or twist wrenches and service other things?

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
