Kawasaki Brute Force 750: four-wheeler, engine and what to check when buying
Kawasaki Brute Force 750 — a four-wheeler (ATV) with a V-twin engine, designed for work, hunting and leisure. We look at the versions, tech and what to check when buying used.
Brute Force 750 in brief
The Brute Force 750 debuted in 2005 and was one of the most powerful Kawasaki four-wheelers. It has enough power for both off-roading and work — towing a trailer, plough or other equipment.
In Europe, many of these four-wheelers are registered as vehicles according to local regulations, so before buying, check the registration documents and category.
Versions — what's the difference
Since 2008, the Brute Force 750 has had a 4x4i system, and later versions came with electric power steering (EPS), making off-road handling easier. There are also special colour or trim versions.
Earlier models have a carburettor and simpler electronics. Later versions offer more comfort but are pricier in the used market.
Engine and transmission
The engine is a liquid-cooled 749 cm³ V-twin. It has enough power for heavy work and fast off-roading.
The transmission is an automatic (CVT) with high and low ranges plus reverse, with selectable 4x4 drive, and a lockable differential in some versions. This helps tackle tougher terrain.
What to check when buying a used Brute Force 750
Check the CVT belt and chain, and ensure the transmission works in all modes (2WD, 4WD, locked differential). Listen for any unusual noises from the wheels.
Inspect the suspension, steering rack, wheel bearings, and CV boots (rubber covers): leaks quickly ruin the mechanism. Check if the engine is leaking oil.
Ensure the 4x4 wasn't used in water or mud without maintenance: such use often leads to corrosion and worn-out bearings. Ask for the service history.
