I am going to try and stay out of the deep water, didn't intend to get into it the other night, muddy water, could'nt tell how deep it was until it was too late (drop off) not fun and I'm sure it's not good for the machine,after all, it does not say "sea-doo" on it !!

Yes, things happen. BF750 is really an awesome machine but it's got a few weaknesses and its air intake design is one of them. If you want to go for bigger wheels, be prepared to use lots of lo range gears whenever deemed appropriate. That will prolong your CVT and engine top end (more lubrication there when engine is running faster). Use Syn oil 10W-40. The $10 investment is worth the engine.

 

dont get the kendas.. they are really heavy.. atleast when i looked into them for my recon.. size 22.. they were like 24lbs.. swamplites are really tall tires tyou migh tlook into them.. or get the mudlites..

 

I use 28" Perilli Mudwisers and love the fact that I can get through most holes with little effort. I put in a clutch kit and rejetted. But the BF 750 is one bike that has the power to use 26, 27 or 28" tires. Oversize tires should have a clutch kit installed to keep your belt in prime shape.

 

I have an 06 brute 750 and put a set of stock size Maxxis Big Horns on it and they work really well on most average riding conditions. They are radials and ride way better than stock. Good luck on your choice.

There is no doubt that 750s got awesome torque to turn those big tires...
CVT belt is one thing but CV Joints and bevel gears in the front gear box are other weak links with large diameter wheels in the drivetrain of BFs.

 

After reading your posts it seems you are much more concerned with trail performance than mud capabilities. If so then stay around the 26" size or so, maybe 27".

I've seen many Brutes with 28" and no clutching so 26 will be no problem at all. I have 27's (soon to be 28s) and have been in the most disgusting mud hole you have ever seen and have had next to no belt wear. It's how you throddle up, run in low, and DON"T reverese in mud that matters.

Let me clarify something- Mudlites are NOT a radial tire. Mudlite XTR's are a radial tire.

If you are mostly trails with very small amounts of mud I'd go Bighorns or Terracross, but that's just me.
