yeah- that's that very annoying "toggle trip" switch- it's a toggle switch that hangs down over the cvt belt- when the belt gets stretched, it's supposed to "slap" the toggle and put you in "limp home" mode so you don't break the belt and get stranded... only thing is, those damn toggles would tripp all the time for no reason- even on both my fairly new brute 750's. people (including me) started drilling out the toggle and mounting it on the outside of the case or just removed the toggle all together.

whom ever though of the analog front locking diff lever on the brute force also though up that dumb toggle idea!
