Ihad bought a brute force the other day, coming from a 700 prarie, which was a great machine, i took my brute out on the trails, and smoke started pouring out the exhaust with a burnt oil smell. rings??? Not sure yet. The underneath is wide open picking up all tree limbs wedging them in my suspension. We ride hard, And the brute I found out has more power than needed. More power than needed? I usually wouldn't say that but it over steers it self pretty bad. The front end is so light, maybe skid plates, winch etc.. would help for weight? I have to call the dealer tomorrow and find out what he will do. I don't want a quad with 2 hrs on it having the motor messed with I just payed cash for it and don't think thats right..... Do you?

 

adding the winch on mine helped the steering alot, I had to make my own winch mount

 

Check the oil level, to make sure its not overfilled.

 

Yep check the oil level it's to high.Also Kaw has full skid plates now for the Brute.

 

well,when i broke in myp650 the dealer warned me that it would smoke alot at first as the oil from production that gets put on the pipes and all for shipping burnes off..is it possible thats the case here as well?

 

I've heard a lot of guys with KFX700 V Forces blowing a lot of white smoke soon after climbing steep hills. There wasn't a problem, just the way the engine is made.

 

Where did he go? what do you mean the underneath is wide open? This is his first post.........LOL, welcome xceler8

 

I too have the same complaints. First, I cannot get the front end to pop off the ground on solid traction, its not that I want to pop wheelies but so I can get the back to slide around tight turns in loose dirt to make up for the over sterring. On the same note, when I climb small hills, the front end seems to lift off the ground as if most of the weight is on the rear of the quad. It makes me feel un-easy when that happens.

Please let me know what you do with yours or what the delaer says. I too have inquired to my dealer but haven't heard anything yet.
Thanks,
Steve

 

I would stiffin the back shocks up alittle bit and see if that helps, xceler8 was talking about his BF smokin wasnt he?

 

i didnt have any smoke and oil smell at first this happened 2 hrs. later. i think it was a piston ring. it has lost majority of power. i will let you guys know the outcome tomorrow. thanks again
