Quite pleased.

It was a nice enough day today to work in the shop with the doors wide open.

I some how ordered the wrong oil filter. I switched to WIX XP oil filters at 5000 miles when I switched to full synthetic.
Glad I had an extra filter on hand.

The air filter was a tad dirty but not bad.

Pretty tough to beat these $3 OE air filters.

8600 miles and it still doesn't use a drop between oil changes.

Front diff was less than 1/4" low. It leaked a while back but it was only the one time. Go figure.

I'll drop it off at the dealer in a few weeks to get the valves adjusted and buy a new belt.

I'll put the new belt on when I get home and hopefully I'll be ready for next year.

I did replace the stator, rectifier/regulator and put in a new AGM battery close to 8000 miles. First and only real problem.

So far I'm quite pleased.

The biggest part of pleased is opening that thing up, and you know it!

I liked the Brute Force after the redesign around 2012. Great all around quad.

I rode a 2010 and didn't really care for it other than the power. Two years later I rode a new 2012 SE and knew a BF was going to be mt next ATV.

No regrets at all.
