The mechanically locking front diff is actually awesome . You don't just pull it full on ... suppose to squeeze it gently when loosing forward momentum
That 750 brute force is one of the funnest and smoothest engaging cvts there is. Things a 750 but is lighter than the bigger Polaris and canam quads. Quicker than you think but if you’ve ridden one then you know how fast it is. A power commander and exhaust makes it even faster 🤙
I purchased one in May. I did not get the LE but I did get power steering on mine. I have ridden older Honda"s. I think this thing is amazing. I"m not diss satisfied in anyway. I have always owned Kawasaki motorcycles so I went with the Brute force. I think they have done a good job. I guess if it"s not broke don"t fix it.
Best locker in the business!!!! Mechanical, reliable, quickest to engage, no sensors or limiters, and progressive. No other manual locker comes close to engaging as quickly on the fly! Kawasaki....... don't ever change this feature!!! Please!!!
there's something to be said for reliability, that's why i'll take this or a Yamaha Grizzly over the other horsepower chasing brands that are notorious for breaking
High HP atvs like an outlander are just as reliable so long as you maintain them properly (grease zerks after every ride, oils changes done every 50-75hrs, inspect bushings, seals etc.) I see many high mileage can ams that needed nothing more than a clutch cleaning, belt change and maybe a wheel bearing or two when over 10,000kms. Kids that break them are the ones that buy XMRs and think “oh it’s mud ready so let’s beat the snot out of it” or they swamp it, break rear diffs cause they’re turning heavy 32” tires.
My bro just bought one of these 2024’s brand new. This is a great machine. Also he forgot to mention the brute force is faster and feels much more powerful than all of the other Japanese brands.
but...............9" of ground clearance..........mechanical lever pull diff lock...........dismal storage options. Who cares if a WORK/UTILITY/HUNTING machine is fast. I Looked at them all and went with the Grizzly 700 XT-R. Almost 11" of ground clearance, more storage, push button diff lock, 27" tires, metal racks and it will still pull the front wheels off the ground not to mention a 10 yr belt warranty
That is not in the video. But I can tell you - press and hold the left & right button just below the screen at the same time to enter Menu mode. Once in there, you can access all the different features.
Kawasaki is still one of the best and their design on this one looks really good. They definitely need to make a few changes here and there. I grew up on a polaris sportsman 500 and that machine was awesome but i remember my bro in law had several small issues with it. I think the pricing on some of the brutes is like 11k or so. But their definitely tried and true.
Always a fan of Kawasaki. My first was a 2000 Prairie never any issues on the farm or the trails. I would like to see upgrades also, lots of technology has become very reliable.
The little more improvement for the money, and that why people will over look this machine. They are many more better machines for the price. 😊 , great review again, and great points about suspension and tires. 👍
I bought mine at the end of last year. It is a 2017 Fuel Injected Kawasaki 750 Eps 4x4I with power steering and it only had 702 miles on it and I paid $6000 for mine
No. I do like the way it looks, but really wish they would have updated what really matters. I wish they would have changed the differential lock to a switch/button, and come on…still lacking a square hitch receiver…
Why downgrade to an electrical locker with all the sensors and limiters? Why stop to engage the locker? Kawasaki's locker engages quicker than any other machine and can do it on the move. Then unlock as soon as the obstacle is cleared and on your way you go. Nothing is faster.
My take on this, Kawasaki builds great machines, but just like the Ridge it falls short. They do just enough but miss some major mile stones. I do war whypat their sales is 'll,e compared to canam Polaris and now cfmoto nipping at their heals. I'll go over to your video on the Ridge and tell you why I went wi th another machine.
I have a brute force and love it other than the suspension it comes with is such a joke it literally makes you ask what are they charging you for the motor? Cause this should be a $8000 machine brand new. Maybe less cause that’s all you’re paying for is the motor and four wheel drive system. Everything else very very cheap. Even the frame is junk. I had a plow on the front of mine and snapped the frame and it was so thin I almost couldn’t even weld it with a MiG welder I couldn’t believe it. They left the brute force the same because they have been making a bunch of money on each tab they sell because they only have 4 or $5000 in making them and the rest is all profit for them. Cause there is now way they even have that much in to a new one as long as they have been making them and the absolute junk suspension paper thin frame and the cheap dollar store flash lights they have taped on the front for head lights is a freaking joke
Kawasaki rates these at only 50 hp, the same as the single cyl Suzuki 750 and the new 650 cc rotax single in the can am “700”. Are they underrated or is Kaeasaki really only getting that much out of a V twin?
It's how that power is transferred to the ground that matters. A Brute will hang with any ATV off the line, and beat 90% of them all while being more reliable than the 10% that have a higher top speed.
so they cosmetically gave it a face lift. under the plastics is the same. tried and true V-twin 750 reliability is fine and honestly a lot more power than most need. trial riders hunters and farmers could honestly get away with a 500cc, my grandpa has used his kodiak 400 for 25 years every november deer season. still looks as new as the day he bought it. quads have plateaued, they charge you more for the same or less these days. 3,000 dollars in 2000 for that kodiak 400 is now 7,000 dollars for a 450. yet nothing has really changed in 25 years.
I had an older brute… liked the diff lock lever… suspension horrible great power till motor locked up at 2000 mi… so wasn’t impressed over all … wouldn’t buy another
Kawasaki haven’t spent 2 cents on R&D and if they want to sell these 10+ year old models than it should be the best price around. If not, than why buy it? Just get something else coolers and more powerful and holds it value for resale. They couldn’t even replace them tired old rims. Same rims for decades. Front storage on the rack is fisher price type shit, and the net holder is useless. Their seat is so odd shaped that a kimpex storage seat don’t work right for passengers. The whining from the clutch is cool for about 10 min. Then annoying. Sad they can’t get any more power out of a 750 twin.
kawi is a waste of money u can get a cf moto for a ton less and comes w a winch and push button diff lock and more than 1 fukin*& pound weight cap on storage bin.
I haven't got a lot of time driving these machines, but when I have, I loved that finger actuated front locker!

It's like the old chevy small block. They built that block for decades. Kawasaki knows what they have, a strong reliable atv.

@@hammerheartdan6311What’s high horsepower got to do with greasing chassis zerk fittings?
Suzuki needs to update their screen and boom. The KingQuad is perfect.
King quad will outrun a grizzly but wont touch the brute@FullsendOffroad
@@greygrizzlyoutdoors1764 that's true, but overall power isn't everything. Most ATV guys have forgotten about that.

Love my Brutes, picked them up for $2500 a piece. My nice pickup cost 15+, and my other one cost me 10, not a 15k guy for a wheeler.
good look
Tk...the battery IS under the seat. It's that thing in the very rear with the cover over it!

If you want the quickness and thrill of an ultra bore ATV but also want Japanese reliability..... there's only ONE choice.... Kawasaki!!
Nice looking,but something weird about wheel opening,looking forward to your ride review
In this case don't really mind the engine and drive train staying the same, just want better suspension travel. That needs a overhaul for sure.
Just buy elkas. Problem solved.
The little more improvement for the money, and that why people will over look this machine. They are many more better machines for the price. 😊 , great review again, and great points about suspension and tires. 👍
Name one.
I dunno why they don’t offer them in their legendary color….candy green 🤷🏻♂️. It’s like Honda not making a red one. No green Kawasaki ??? 🤷🏻♂️
I bought my new 2023 for 9000 back in November
I bought mine at the end of last year. It is a 2017 Fuel Injected Kawasaki 750 Eps 4x4I with power steering and it only had 702 miles on it and I paid $6000 for mine

I just wonder if the headlight pod will fit on my 2023
At least can am and Polaris try to make then more fun and not just keep throwing up the same model with cosmetic changes
Can am and Polaris haven’t changed much either in the last decade. It’s just the face they offer 850-1000 atvs is what’s nice
But Can am and Polaris can't come close to Kawasaki for reliability and build quality.
I really don't like that block looking headlight on the bars.
Ive definitely realized that its smaller than most 750s and even smaller than some 500s
My take on this, Kawasaki builds great machines, but just like the Ridge it falls short. They do just enough but miss some major mile stones. I do war whypat their sales is 'll,e compared to canam Polaris and now cfmoto nipping at their heals. I'll go over to your video on the Ridge and tell you why I went wi th another machine.
White wheels would fit that color.
Good quad but getting way to long in the teeth it needs a complete overall
This 750 been out 15 years or so . Time for a change
You ain’t rode one I bet. Look at the weight. It’s a fast machine and super smooth
Polaris sportsman 1000 ultimate ride command edition vs can am outlander pro hunt edition?

Inflation bud... in 15-20 years everything will be double again.
Just bought one. Love the power but hate the heat it puts out by my calf. Without long pants it going to hurt

Chinese garbage, tho. Reliability has to be horrible.
@@Shootinsparks Not so anymore
I agree we have 3 cfmotos on our channel and know a lot of people that have them. We work and service all makes. They all have problems.
Anyone that thinks cf moto is good needs to keep their opinions to themselves if they want to be taken seriously.
I have a 2017 Kawasaki brute force and I use my front side fender storage bins for tons of different stuff
