Introduction
The perfect union of fuel injected,
big-bore power and 4x4 ATV capability
The leader of Kawasaki's V-twin powered, sport-utility all-terrain
vehicle (ATV) pack, the Brute Force® 750 4x4i retains its
top status for 2009 by mating a hard-charging digital fuel injected
V-twin engine to the plush ride supplied by its competent front
and rear fully independent suspension and superb four-wheel drive
system. Wrapped in aggressive bodywork, it's the perfect choice
for adventure enthusiasts and sportsmen alike.
The Brute Force 750 4x4i is driven by a powerful 90-degree, four-stroke,
fuel injected V-twin engine. The 749cc, twin Electrofusion-plated
aluminum cylinders are fed via 36mm throttle bodies controlled
by a 32-bit CPU, which delivers the correct mixture based on
coolant temperature, air intake temperature, throttle position,
air intake pressure, vehicle speed and crankshaft angle. Its
high-pressure fuel pump is located inside the tank and has a
unique reservoir chamber at the bottom to help ensure air does
not get into the fuel system.
The low spring rate for the throttle return springs and ball
bearings in the throttle bodies translates into lighter feel
at the throttle lever and less rider fatigue. Instantaneous fuel
delivery and crisp engine response from the eight-valve engine
make it a hit with sport riders. A high-efficiency radiator is
mounted high in the chassis where it is best shielded from mud
and debris.
The Brute Force 750 4x4i gets the power from its V-twin engine
to the wheels through a continuously variable transmission (CVT)
with low or high range, and reverse. The rider is able to select
two- or four-wheel-drive operation simply by pressing a button
on the handlebar. In four-wheel-drive mode, the Brute Force ATV
utilizes a limited-slip front differential, which eases steering
effort under most riding conditions. The rider can also engage
the handlebar mounted Variable Front Differential Control lever
to manage torque delivery to the right and left front wheels
for maximum traction.
The front drive shafts of the Brute Force feature Cardan joints
an industry first. Similar to U-joints, Cardan joints help
absorb torque fluctuations to the drive shaft, and the lightweight
design helps to reduce vibration. The small and compact rear
final gear case and sealed rear braking system were designed
in conjunction with the IRS and are extremely rugged and efficient.
Dual front discs and Kawasaki's highly acclaimed sealed rear
braking system bring the Brute Force 750 4x4i to a quick halt.
Completely sealed, the rear braking system's components are protected
from mud, dust and debris. Its compact size also provides more
ground clearance than a conventional rear disc brake system.
Enhancing the highly effective braking is the engine's Kawasaki
Engine Brake Control, which helps slow the ATV under certain
conditions.
Ride comfort on the Brute Force 750 4x4i doesn't come at the
expense of sport performance. Dual-rate springs for the front
and rear suspension permit the best of both worlds. A soft initial
spring rate for the bumps at slower speeds and a firmer second
rate to handle higher speeds comes into play as the springs are
further compressed. Complimenting the suspension, the urethane
foam in the seat is firm enough to be supportive yet provide
plenty of comfort for long hours in the saddle.
The Brute Force 750 4x4i utilizes a simple, yet sturdy double-cradle
tubular steel frame with front dual A-arms and IRS. The front
dual A-arms feature adjustable shocks with 6.7 inches of travel,
while the IRS employs a leading torsion bar and provides 7.9
inches of travel. A combination of needle bearings and ball joints
in the lower rear A-arms gives the IRS unrivaled suspension action,
stability and excellent rider comfort.
As if performance wasn't enough, the Brute Force 750 4x4i can
turn heads with looks alone with its polished 12-inch wheels.
Clad in aggressive tires, the eye-catching wheels help give the
ATV its 9.7 inches of ground clearance and transfer the awesome
power of the V-twin engine to the ground.
The 750 4x4i's front bumper is designed for easily manhandling
the Brute Force when the need arises. Behind the bumper is the
strong and tough angular bodywork constructed of high-gloss and
scratch-resistant Thermo-Plastic Olefin (TPO). Underneath this
bodywork is a factory-installed plastic conduit for easy winch
installation.
The chassis balance is further optimized by the large five-gallon
fuel tank beneath the seat. Keeping the weight in check are aluminum
footpegs on the full-sized floorboards and lightweight cargo
racks that can carry a combined weight of 264 pounds. The capable
Brute Force can also tow 1,250 pounds.
It comes standard with a hitch ball bracket all the customer
needs is a standard hitch ball. Owners can expand the versatility
of the Brute Force with a variety of Authentic Kawasaki Accessories
available through Kawasaki dealers.
Its upright and comfortable rider position enhances the rider's
ability to interact with the Brute Force 750 4x4i, and scan the
horizon and the easy to read automotive-style instrument panel.
Other features include the waterproof storage box in the left
front fender, and a storage compartment in the right front fender.
As with all off-highway vehicle recreation, Kawasaki encourages
ATV riders to ride responsibly and to respect the environment.
Kawasaki will pay first-time buyers of a new Kawasaki ATV $100
for completing an ATV rider safety course conducted by the ATV
Safety Institute (ASI). Interested consumers can call ASI toll-free
at 800-887-2887.
