i had a brute force 750 a couple years ago and by god did it run awesome. had it for at least 4 years and ran the piss out of it and it still ran like how i got it. went through some alaska mud and it never did bog down or quit on me. but i sold it for how much i paid for it. now i am on a 17 sportsman 570 utility edition and i have put it through the same stuff as i did with the brute force and it hasnt skipped a beat yet either. love your videos man, keep up the good work
We use gasoline at the shop to clean out the front or rear diffs. We jack it up, start it and run it up through the gears for one minute. Then drain and repeat. Usually takes two or three try's. After the third drain, the gas will be clear coming out. After that a very light oil, run it through, drain, then finish off with your gear oil of choice. Works great and it will clean the insides beautifully. Cheers
Check the rear seal on the drive shaft against the motor my brute would let water in there. Also the seal sits in a housing that has 3 or 4 bolts that hold it against the motor pull that off and run a bead of RTV around it and install that should stop any water from coming in from there
Great vid Louie. I'm looking into getting a Brute Force 750 as well so I really appreciate these vids and your opinions/points made. The channel has taken a new turn towards "Bikes" and I like it although I love my snow machines too. I really have to wonder though.... What does Ricky Bobby Louie think of "Bikes"... I gotta know LOL..... cheers
Hey I have a 2008 brute force 750 the fuel pump comes on I get fuel to the injectors but it want crank until I pour fuel directly into the injectors what could possibly be my problem
Any ideas on flushing the rear diff? It’s the wet brakes so I’m not sure if a certain oil or fluid works well. I had the seal on my rear diff where the CV axles go in deteriorating so I have water in my rear diff now.
Awesome video but the audio is hit and miss. Spent 40 years working around heavy equipment, 10 or so of which I also played in a band, so the hearing is not that great. Please wear a wireless clip-on or over-dub the weak audio later. Thanks!
I've got a 2008 Brute Force 750... I use the diff lock all the time due to the rugged terrain where I ride in Tennessee, Virginia, and North Carolina. So, 12 years going strong!!!
Skippy Gaming We have flushed them properly sometimes up to a dozen flushes , brute forces don't have very good crank design , I've swapped my old 660 grizzly many times and still runs like new .
Hello . I also have a problem with this engine model ( atv kawasaki kvf 750 2008)where the oil pump is located, I have a metal pinch,because the pump was broken. and I decided to change it . how can i solve the problem ?? to use sandpaper or what else ?? because it belongs to the whole piece which is very expensive .www.brutecentral.com/threads/hello-who-could-help-me-with-some-advice.25304/#post-196246
brute forces are junk. great power, loads of fun until you notice a toonie size hole in the top of your third front diff while youre stopped because you were overheating and when you get home it wont start again until you go over the whole wiring situation and fix those stupid connectors.
Guess we all can agree to disagree. For myself, I have a 2008 model that's a beast. Trust me when I say that I run the dogshit out of it. It's snorkeled and I take her deep, whether its water, mud, etc... it handles everything I throw at it. I do periodic checks of the engine oil, front/rear diffs for water entry. I do replace seals from time to time, but that's expected for the manner for which I ride (nothing is waterproof). I have many aftermarket performance parts installed which elevate the suspension, engine performance, drivetrain, exhaust, fuel/ignition tunes, clutching, you name it. I wouldn't trade it for any other brand out there today.
After seeing underneath , I must say. That bike is in great shape. No rust, very clean .
Just an old school tip for diffs that get water inside. Use diesel fuel instead of oil. Diesel seems to wash that crap out better. 👍🏼✌🏼
Cheers Louie.
Great tip!
Yep came here to right this. Lol. Plus it's cheaper than flushing with oil. Well used to be anyways.

Diesel Is great as universal engine, gearbox, diffs cleanser to wash out dirt and oil residue.

You should make video on how to properly do wheel spacers for brute force 750.

get a 2008 or newer so you get the fuel injection.
Take the plug out "after you have cleaned everything" or take the plug out before trying to start again? I'm confused here.
Brake cleaner and an air hose cleans swamped diffs the best in my opinion!!
ya we used the same filter wrenches when i did a co-op at cat they work mint
Going to change oils in Brute today, but I see why I never wanted to get into deep water. I always wonder why some people call 4-wheelers "bikes"
no sledding this past winter or did I miss the vids?
and Yes those brutes have good jam especially down low but tend to burn oil after a while.
Now this guy is picky! He can work on my 750 anytime.
i hear that a good way of rinsing old watery oil out is to flush it diesel then just pour new oil in. way cheaper and faster.

What is the justment on the valve for a Atv Kawasaki 750
Great video

Is the front diff the weakest link on these quads?
axles should go before a diff
Glad I'm not the only one who gets questioned about calling them bikes lol
What type of oil you put in the front differential
80 90 or 75 90
What do you do for tool kits? Bring stuff with you in a bag while riding, or keep everything in the truck?
depends on where we go - im making a video on that
PowerModz that would be awesome. I just broke down and had to scavenge tools from people driving by
I just bought a 2007 650 last weekend. The clutch cover bolts are stripped any tips for retapping the holes?
When checking the oil do you screw in the dipstick it just putt in till threads touch
Hmm, good question and I get that mixed up between all of the machines now. I usually screw in all the way but best check the manual
@@PowerModzOfficial Manuel says to thread in then tread out. Thanks for responding
Can the rear brake be adjusted
Dont think so
What happened to the military truck
Pls i have a question, how do u change gear on Kawasaki 360
Brutes are horrible on all the seals for the diffs and drive shafts check them often for any oil weeping
Awesome, where is the part where you rip up the back yard. We want to see serious ripping. In the yard. No helmet, no fear.
Water running is a love hate thing ahah.
You got that right eh, Hahaha
Has it been a good bike thinking about trading my 13yz450f for a 06 750i for the gf what do you think or run
Normally put diesel in it drain then mystery oil and then new oil. No issues 😌.
I have a dumb question, do I run it for a min with the diesel?
@@leemontoya8028 no just turn it over an drain it all out
@@joshv3068 That sounds risky, I'll let it run for 4 maybe 5 min's then drain it.
@@leemontoya8028 👀 ok
You should wear microphone it's hard to hear you sometimes
Cool
Sea foam gets rid of that water way faster

I work with what i have at the time.....these things cost money.
"That's not gravy" haha nice.
That comment about "don't use the diff lock unless you really need to or you'll blow the diff" that's why I went with can am and visco-lok
I've got a 2008 Brute Force 750... I use the diff lock all the time due to the rugged terrain where I ride in Tennessee, Virginia, and North Carolina. So, 12 years going strong!!!
Sorry guys love your vids but I'd never trust you to work on my rigs! 🤣
John Smith why?
What? Why? Louie's been off roading, turning wrenches on all sorts of mechanical engines. He's helped me out with his vids numerous times....
Plastics removed 2 hours and 163 bolts and screws later.
Let it drain 2 days why don't you just spray break cleaner or something up in it to wash it out
Brute force don't like being swapped , I've seen many swapped and started to develop crank knock shortly after .
sounds like they were not flushed properly
Skippy Gaming We have flushed them properly sometimes up to a dozen flushes , brute forces don't have very good crank design , I've swapped my old 660 grizzly many times and still runs like new .
hmm, way she goes. nothing is made perfect i suppose
Ratridez I hope the 700’s prove to be as good as the 660’s. I bought a 700 kodiak last fall and I mud it all the time.

Thats what happens when you use an atv as a jet ski
Thats Not Gravy!
LOL haha
