... and I culdnt be happier. The quad has gotten better with miles and seems to now have reached that "golden" area of operation. I realize that there have been some nagging issues with the Brute, but most of that is miniscule in comparison with the machines capability and superior engine.

I have made it through some places that I would have never thought possible and have become a much better rider because of the confidence the machine inspires.

The maintenance has been easy, I've changed all fluids twice and kept the air filter extra clean. I have never had any issues with it and it has never even come close to stranding me.

Bottom line? Yeah, Kawi DID do OK with this unit. Despite some of the naysayers and whiners, this thing rocks. They're just mad because they dont have one! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

The aftermarket is catching on fast to... we now have a complete air filter kit.. housing and all from Twin Air. Their is also a full snorkel kit out to fix the watery airbox. We have good tie rods out to and their is a solution for the weaks T-Rod ends. The miss has been fixed by the correct needle.

Overall, in just a few months most of the bugs have been worked out of the B.F. Yeah it takes a little $$$ to them out but It's definitly worth it.

Can any other stock machines run 29.5" Laws without a lift? None that I'm aware of!

I COULDN'T BE LESS HAPPY! I have close to 10 hours on mine and I am still waiting for the actuator motor control module which has been on backorder since September. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I bought a beast that I can't ride [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] without this part I have no 4wd or engine braking [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] do you guys know how I can get in touch with Kawasaki and see when they might have my part made? I am sure of one thing, I will never buy another Kawasaki as long as I live. to have a part break inside of 10 hours is one thing, but to make a customer wait this long for a part to fix it is just rediculous. I didn't cause the failure, I've never even gotten mine dirty, and I am just fuming everytime I think of the money I laid down on this bike and can't ride it. OVER A MONTH AND NO END IN SIGHT! that, in my opinion, is a terrible way to treat a customer!

www.Twinair.com

You can get just a filter or a Power Flow kit that replaces the Filter, Housing, and factory spark arrestor.
