Introduction
V-twin powered 4x4 performer offers
large utility at a small price
When it comes to dollar stretching performance, Kawasaki's mid-sized
Brute Force® 650 4x4 all-terrain vehicle (ATV) is the stand-out
performer in this class. With its legendary V-twin engine, a
proven 4x4 system and rugged styling - for about the same price
as the single-cylinder engine crowd - its value is even more
apparent to those seeking a powerful yet sensible 4x4 ATV.
The Brute Force 650 4x4 is powered by Kawasaki's popular liquid-cooled
633cc, 90-degree V-twin engine with single overhead cams and
four valves per cylinder. Its dual 32mm Keihin carburetors draw
fresh air from a snorkel intake located high in the frame near
the steering head. This powerplant gives the rider industry-leading
torque and a smooth power delivery that's unrivaled by the competition.
The robust V-twin engine is mated to the Kawasaki Automatic Powerdrive
System (KAPS) continuously variable transmission (CVT). With
low and high range, neutral and reverse, this dependable transmission
functions seamlessly, providing excellent control for both low-
and high-speed work or recreational riding. Additionally, the
Brute Force 650 4x4 can be started in any gear, as long as the
brakes are applied.
Power is delivered to the wheels through dependable, low-maintenance
shaft drive contained in a lightweight aluminum swingarm. The
rider can select two-wheel or four-wheel drive operation via
a switch conveniently mounted on the right handle bar. In normal
four-wheel drive mode, the front wheels provide extra traction
for adverse terrain, while the limited-slip differential allows
the rider to make tight turns and reduces steering effort.
When maximum traction is needed, the rider can utilize Kawasaki's
Variable Front Differential Control by pulling a lever on the
left handlebar to send power to both front wheels. This is a
definite advantage for riders encountering deep mud and slippery
uphill trails or when traversing over large objects such as logs
or rocks.
The cutting-edge Brute Force 650 4x4 braking system design is
a combination of dual front disc brakes with dual-piston calipers
and Kawasaki's sealed, oil-bathed, multi-disc rear brake system.
As an integrated part of the shaft drive, the rear braking system
is sealed in the aluminum swingarm where it operates in an oil
bath. This protects the brake from mud, dust and debris, and
is virtually maintenance-free.
Enhancing the high-performance brakes is the Kawasaki Engine
Brake Control system, which electronically monitors ground speed
and uses the engine's compression to help slow the Brute Force
ATV under certain conditions.
Plush and controlled rides are the Kawasaki's 4x4 ATV forte and
the Brute Force 650 4x4 exemplifies this specialty. It does this
with MacPherson strut front suspension with 6.7 inches of travel
and an aluminum swingarm featuring a shock with adjustable preload,
a piggy-back reservoir and 7.2 inches of travel for the rear
suspension duties.
Additional comfort is provided by a large seat and adjustable
footpegs mounted atop full-size floorboards. To help reduce unsprung
weight and further enhance the smooth ride, the Brute Force rolls
on aluminum wheels.
The modern, aggressively angled lines and ultra-high gloss appearance
of the Thermo-Plastic Olefin scratch-resistant bodywork are complemented
by bright cat-eye headlights. The fully digital instrumentation
includes speedometer, odometer, dual resettable trip meters,
clock, hour meter, fuel gauge and 2x4/4x4 indicators.
Leading the conveniences on the Brute Force 650 4x4 is a DC power
outlet to provide quick and easy power for electrical accessories.
It is also has space provided inside the front guard to easily
accommodate a 3000-pound capacity winch from Warn or Superwinch.
The front and rear steel racks on the Brute Force 650 4x4 can
carry a total of 264 pounds of cargo, and a hitch bracket that
enables the ATV to tow up to 1,250 pounds. Owners can expand
the versatility of their Brute Force ATV via the extensive line
of Authentic Kawasaki Accessories.
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.
