I currently have a Kfx 400, its basicly stock, Im looking at buying a Bigger big i can ride 2 up with and be a hardcore mudder, seems i do more of that even with the kfx than i do mx.......

Even know this is a kawie forum please be honest, im looking at other brands also, irs is needed for the ground clearnce, other choices are griz, and new 700 suzuki, i will never buy anouther polaris, they are junk, there jet skies are junk there bikes are junk, but i still have yet to unload my jetski on someone yet [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Of these 3 bikes which would best best in the mud? I was thinking of the bf cause of all the power, so i could put bigger tires and still have lots of power.


Anyway i live in the deep dirty south, buying my kfx was a bad bad choice, no were to really ride, to far to drive for a track, and cant play in the mud with my friends when it rains. But i plan to keep the kfx for other ppl that dont have a bike to ride if i wanta go.

Thanks for any help

 

You don't want a Brute force if you're going to be riding double. they are too light in the front end and your passenger sits behind the rear axles, making it a wheelie monster. Grizzlies are the same way. If you want to ride double incomfort and not pop wheelies, and have incredible power, you're screwed because Polaris makes the only machine like that...the 700 and 800 EFIs. These Brutes are for single riders who want neck snapping takeoff in a sport utility. Hell, I have to lay across the handlebars to keep the front end down without a passenger. The whole time I'm riding double I have to let off the throttle, bring the front end back down so I can steer, point it in that direction and hit the throttle again.

 

2005BF750 is correct. The Brute is a poor choice for two-up. May I suggest that you look at the two-up machines like the Bombardier Traxster? This machine got a decent review and will serve your needs well. I would NEVER recommend riding two-up on a 1-up machine.

Also: Polaris have made great strides in their products. I am a Kawi nut and will be pretty much forever, but I know plenty of Polaris owners that are happy with their quads....just an FYI.

Well the only time i would be rideing 2 up would be short distances, less than a half mile, or so.

I dont wanta buy a bike that is ment for 2up cause there ugly and what not, but i want my kfx power on a 4x4, closest thing i guess is the brute.

 

the 800 is very very close to the power of the brute, and the 800 is far more comfortable... the only problem is that its a bit expensive

 

and you have to be a carb man to get your Brute Force running right, they come with a low-end miss that, so far, my dealer has been unable to fix. He put the same jet needle in the front carb that was in the back (like everybody on this site said to do) but I still have the miss. If I could turn back time, I would have waited for the 800 EFI instead of buying this Brute Force, the sole reason is because I am definitely NOT a carb man and apparently neither is my dealer. I financed $8700 with the tax and extended warranty, could have got an 800 for just about the same money. All this for an ATV that has a terrible miss in the engine.

 

Hey BF750... I would get it back to the dealer and make them correct it. There is no reason to live with a miss like that!

I had my dealer install the needle AND richen the mixture. My miss is almost completely gone. I am even going to have them further richen it when I go in soon for my belt check ( 1000 mi ).

Just my 2 cents....

ooh, I sound like I'm bitching lol. I'd rather buy a dynojet kit and pay somebody (other than the dealer) to put it in, my dealer is incompetant. The service guys remind of Red Greene...putting duct tape on a headlight and such. lol I have had it in the shop so long that I only have 14 hours on it. other than the miss, I love the bike. I would be willing to pay somebody locally up to $200 to get it running right with my Dynatek CDI box installed. You can't take the thing in to the service shop with the Dynatek box in it or it voids the warranty.

 

and it is 165 pounds heavier

Jetting is not that hard just repetetive, time consuming, trial and error till you get it right.


Save yourself some bucks and learn to do it yourself. Visit http://www.smellofdeath.com/lloydy/jetting.htm

Go to a local hardware store and get you some allen head metric replacement screws for Carb Bowl and Top cover an and allen wrench. for the .04 X 14mm screws.

Some people like the stock needles with shims and some perfer the Dyno-jet needles. Your choice.
Dynojet needles have an adjustable clip (serves purpose as adding shim) that allows fine tuning either lean or rich once your plug color is achieved.

Just have to have & pay attention to detail and ensure you don't create an air leak by not seating carbs in manifold, installing your slide spring & rubber diaphram correctly or failing to attach all your vaccum hoses properly. The hardest part of jetting is taking your airbox off & on.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
