Just wondering how everyones cv and driveshafts have been holding up on there brute force 750's. I was just curious because the shafts dont look to be very large in size and I was wondering on there actual strength. They dont appear much larger than the yamaha grizzlys and the grizzlys are always snapping shafts and they have quite a bit less power than the brute. Let me hear some opinions or broken shaft stories !!

 

There has not been a single complaint so far but kawie said they have some new technology in the axles , there are not regular CV they are something different but I can't remeber what they call them.

 

Mine have held up very well so far and I have almost 1200 miles on them. There have been reported incidences of isues, but like most broken ATV parts...you never get the "real" story and I venture a guess that abuse caused the problem. Of course, there are times when factory parts fail, but the Brute has held up very well for me and I do average riding which means I sometimes ride hard, but never abusively.

After 2 hard rides w/ all my extra power and the 29.5's everything is fine. I think the drivetrain on the Brute or Prairie is the best out their. Gorilla axles are EXPENSIVE and at this point I don't think I'll ever really need them. I may bust an axle eventually but I'll just replace it.

The Brute may have a few flaws, but the Drivetrain definitly does not appear to be one of them.

 

One word, BULLETPROOF! Never had any come back for shaft probs. If you break one you must have about 300hp goin through that beast!! haha

 

Well thats great news, I'm warrantied till 2009 anyway but was hoping I didnt have to use it too much. Thanks for the replies.
