Hi kawasaki owners, I usually frequent the Suzuki site since my son and I have 2 Z400's. Since kfx400,z400, and dvx400 are all the same thing, is why I came up with the name "kawzukicatguy". Anyways, I'm posting here because I want a utility quad for mudd and work around the house. Had 3 possibilities in mind. Kingquad,Grizzly,or Bruteforce. I took KQ off the list because of widespread reverse failure issues. Down to a BF or Grizzly. If anybody has time to let me know the goods and bads about the BF , recommend it or not, and maybe compare it to the Grizz, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks-Gary:[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Hey man I have a BF and I love it. I dont have any problems and I ride everyday.
With the BF you will be able to beat any Giz out there. They both are very good
machines but I like the BF better. I guess its what you like better.

 

Thanks alot, I was also curious if it was fuel injected, dual or single carb. And anybody elses opinions would still be appreciated.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

The Bf is a dual carb machine.

 

I bought a BF 650 last month and I love it I used to have a KFX 400 and wanted a utility ATV and went with the BF and I am so happy I did I go riding every weekend and haven't had one complaint, so I would go for the BF

 

One of the forum members did a complete and honest list of BF problems a month or more ago. If you do a search you can find it.

It was a pretty long list, but if I remember right all the items were minor.

 

I did't find that list kawiyowee, but I did find a post that mentioned 4x4 only engages in forward gear, not in reverse. Is this true? Seems like a big handicap. Are all 4x4 atv's like this or only the brute force?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

You didn't state if its the BF650 or the BF750.
The BF650 is a Prairie chassis where the BF750 is IRS,just like the KQ & Grizz.
Overall, I am very pleased with the BF750 but No 4wheeler is perfect. The BF750 does need a wider stance, so a set of aftermarket wheels/tires is in order, this is also true for the Grizz.
The BF750 has a 5.4gallon rear tank, decent ground clearance, great brakes & excellent power.
I took my New BF750 to the High Colorado Rockies last August & it was perfect for the entire 7 days & a much more comfortable ride vs the Prairie 650 that I had before.

 

just out of curiostiy, why did you exlcude the polaris line up from you choices?

 

Here is the link at NYROCS site about the Brute iisues.
