a friend of mine bought the brute force 750.
-fan wont come on. had it in the shop two times now
-bending tie rods like there nothing. hes replaced 4 of them now. another friend has replaced 2 so far and his tie rod end broke in two once before.
they dont ride any more aggresive than i do on my arctic cat,but them tie rods just wont hold up. there are other small problems . any one else haveing similar problems?

 

Sounds like your friend needs to find a Knowledgeable dealer aware that there has been factory recalls/tech bullitines on the tie rods, loose bolts, and front carb needle. All defective parts should have been replaced by now UNDER WARRANTY.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

thanks tuff. he did get the needle fixed in the carb. ill mention the warrenty about the other stuff.

 

The stock tie rods just don’t cut it. Friend has brute with bending rods. Do a search and find the steel ones. He replaced his and no more problem. He has 28” outlaws on his and that extra tire wait doesn’t help.

You will not bend them. Soild steel and very thick.

As for the fan. It could just be a bad relay. Shouldn't be hard for the dealer to fix.

Let me guess, The others problems include a miss and water in the airbox... right?

Their is carb update from Kawi that will replace the front needle. The dealer will do it free of charge. That will take care of the low speed miss.

As for the airbox.... it has no protection to keep water from getting at it. A snorkel or some homemade splash guards will work. A snorkel is easy to do and will provide the engine w/ more air.

Overall, these are very minor problems and the Brute is an excellent machine otherwise.

Along w/ the Tie Rods, you may also want to look into some better ends. Ends that fit a 400EX will work w/ the Brute. ALL *****, Tusk, Quadboss etc...... Just look online for 400EX ends. Rocky mountain ATV carries ALL *****. You can also use OEM Honda ends but they are pricy. I'm about to use some Heim ends.

 

thanks for the info all. i talked my friend and said he ordered new tie rods of the internet. i dont know what brand they are though. he is also looking into a clutch kit, he runs 27 inch 589's. hes got his eyes on , i think there the 29.5 outlaws. which ever tire is 29.5'.
