ATV Television Project - Kawasaki Brute Force 750

Well I know Highlifter does make a locking pin for it and I think it is like 29.99 but I have also heard keeping it in lock mode will damage it over time or wear out the clutches in the diff

While it can be a bit confusing in the times you mention, I think it's still the best method there is for a simple and quick lock of the front diff while on the move in the rough stuff.

Oh and one last thing lol....In all respect you mentioned you rate ATV's on how you like them to ride and feel, but the thing is not everyone wants a atv to ride smooth and low and be like a Cadillac so to speak but instead some like them rough and mean and capable of anything.......Just my two cents lol

This video is good buttttttt when it comes to needing ground clearance in the mud or riding over big rocks lowering a ATV is not a good idea

I think the pull in lift pin for the diff lock on a BF 750 is a very poor design compared to say Polaris or Yamaha and the reason I think that is because say you also have a handle bar mounted winch and are trying to use the winch, throttle, diff lock and steer at the same time it is very difficult......They needed to put more thought into that design

I think he'll find the full-locking front differential on the Brute Force a HUGE benefit in the muddy areas - especially compared to the Honda.

Hi, Well I recieved my new Works shocks on Friday just as they promised. The fit and finish was a work of art. These shocks look beautiful!
Well, I got a chance to go on a 60 mile trail ride for the test.... I LIKE THEM! They might be a little soft in the front and a little firm in the rear but I think I need a little more ride-time before I make that decision.
They ride a lot more softer than the stock ones did and they give a more stable ride too.
Thanks for helping me pick a great shock

Well I haven't got them yet!

I'll be sure to let you know what I think after my first ride.

What? They got them to you quicker than I can get mine ;-)
Okay, I'll live I guess ... Be sure to let me know what you think when you get them and go riding.

Thank you very much for responding in such a quick manner.
I ordered the Works G-series today. They are going to jump through hoops just to get them to my door by this Friday.
I ordered them with 2" of sag and told them that I am 10 lbs lighter then I am and that I am 42 years old and want a smooth ride. (The age is true)

Thanks again, You guys are the best!

Todd.

1st - The Bighorn's are great tires and will last for many miles, but are heavier and have stiffer sidewalls than the tires we usually run. Stiff and heavy effect the ride quality a lot and even afect the new shock's performance..
2nd - Elka shocks have worked very well on all our sport machines but I have not found their low-speed, slow-going, soft-riding characteristics to be as good as the Works. But a lot of that may just be to getting a closer set-up to what we want on our trail machines.

I Have a 2005 750i Brute.
I need your advice on my shock purchase.
I have 25" Bighorn radial tires
I want to have a softer ride with better handling.

Which brand would give me a softer ride (ELKA VS WORKS)

(I have Elka's on my z400 and I only like them when I am going very fast..Rough ride at slow speed)

I value your opinion because I know that you have ridden the Brute with both brands.

Please respond.

Thanks,
Stockstinks.

At my age I start late, rest often and stop early ;-)

(all day - 75 mile rides) - ???--75 miles - thats only 1/4 of a day
