I went for a ride today and spent the day on a new 750 Brute Force.







I did like the power and the engine braking. Throttle response and torque is impressive. I think the transmission, clutch or what ever it is whines way too much, it sounds like a turbo winding up and a big old Cat. There is tons of heat coming off both sides and heated my legs more than I cared. At speed it nose dives a bit too much for me going into corners but I think the shocks were set on the softest setting, and the ignition key is in a stupid place. I did like all the little storage places, one right there for my camera. And I didn't care for the shift gate either. I never needed to lock the front end but I do like the idea that you controll how "locked" it is.

Here's a couple of short videos from my ride today. One was riding a trail, one was when I got caught in a hail storm and the last one is what I enjoyed most about the 2010 Kawasaki 2010 Brute Force while riding it out on the Paiute Trails. (well on a county road LOL)

Over all I enjoyed my ride today.

Sorry for the poor sound quality in the last video, all you can hear is the wind.

Congrats on your new Brute Force! Nice camo edition!
> That whining noise is from the electric stepper motor used on the engine brake system.
> The front locker doesn't really stay "locked" unless you really pull the trigger all the way in. Otherwise, there is some slippage. That's why Kawi calls it LSD (Limitied Slip Diff).

 

Specta, it might be me but I couldn't get your videos to come up.
