Introduction
Go anywhere ability and toughness mated with big comfort equals
a winner
Kawasaki's Brute Force® 650 4x4i ATV is the hidden gem in
the Kawasaki family of V-twin powered sport-utility all-terrain
vehicles. It combines a plush ride that is a natural outcome
of its front and rear independent suspension with the superb
qualities of its four-wheel drive and durable and powerful 633cc
engine to be a "win-win" for owners.
Thanks to its 90-degree, liquid-cooled four-stroke powerplant,
this ATV will shine under the most grueling circumstances in
both low-to-mid range and high rpm ranges and will be ready to
answer any requests by its target audience of adventure enthusiasts
and sportsmen. The engine has a bore and stroke of 80mm x 63mm,
linerless aluminum cylinders based on its big brother's and a
lightweight crankshaft.
Less weight is always a good thing, so to keep the pounds off
Kawasaki engineers used aluminum in the construction of the front
exhaust pipe cover, two-piece center exhaust pipe cover, and
the muffler cover. Among the other features designed into the
Brute Force 650 4x4i to optimize the power-to-weight ratio are
drilled transmission gears to lighten their overall weight.
The chassis has an optimized caster angle for the front A-arms-upper
and lower-to provide light and responsive steering as well as
excellent ground-following abilities. Shock absorber spring rates
and initial preload settings for both front and rear are also
set for excellent ride comfort, which was also boosted on the
Brute Force 650 4x4i via its softer urethane seat foam cushion.
The Brute Force 650 4x4i gets the power from its V-twin engine
transfered to the wheels through a dual range continuously variable
transmission (CVT) featuring high, low and reverse. Two- or four-wheel
drive is selectable by the rider simply pressing a handlebar-mounted
button.
Stopping the 650 4x4i are dual 200mm front discs and an enclosed
wet multi-plate rear brake system. The able ATV has a towing
capacity of a hefty 1,250 pounds, and it can carry a combined
264 pounds on its front and rear racks.
It may be the slightly smaller one in Kawasaki's stable of IRS-equipped
ATVs, but it doesn't sacrifice anything in the "looks"
department. Like its brethren, the Brute Force 650 4x4i sports
a rugged, take-on-anything appearance with a front guard design
that will both attract onlookers and satisfy owners. It can be
clad in Woodsman Green, Super Black, Sunbeam Red, Candy Thunder
Blue or Realtree Hardwoods Green® HD™ camouflage.

- Kawasaki Engine Brake Control
- Exclusive Variable Front Differential
- Sealed Rear Brake System
Engine
- 633cc four-stroke, liquid-cooled V-twin
- All-aluminum cylinders with Electrofusion coating are durable
and help the engine produce more power. Using aluminum bores
instead of cast iron cylinder liners improves heat dispersion
and reduces weight
- V-twin design and oversquare bore and stroke help produce high
torque with a broad, user-friendly curve
- 90-degree cylinder offset produces perfect primary balance
to minimize vibration for rider comfort
Four-Valve Cylinder Head
- Intake ports designed to provide a straight fuel path from
the carburetors for improved efficiency and more power
- Four valves provide maximum valve area for optimal flow
- Boosts low-end torque
Twin Downdraft Carburetors
- Twin CVKR-34 carburetors are 2mm larger than the Brute Force
650 4x4 and are mounted in a downdraft position, providing the
fuel mixture with a straight shot into the combustion chamber
for quicker throttle response
Liquid Cooling
- Large-capacity radiator provides consistent cooling, allowing
close engine tolerances, quiet running, and ultimate durability
- Thermostatically-controlled fan keeps engine cool regardless
of vehicle speeds
Snorkel Air Intake
- Airbox design provides easy access to simplify maintenance
- Oval-type air filter provides large intake area and reduces
dust build-up on the filter
Kawasaki Automatic Power-Drive System
- The drive converter shaft is hard chrome finished for durability
- Shifting timed in higher rpm range for snappy throttle response
and class leading acceleration
- Strong CVT belt handles the increased power
- Water drain hole in drive pulley cover prevents mud from clogging
release bearing for added durability
- Belt Check indicator lamp is easy to see
- Continuously variable transmission (CVT) is fully automatic
Kawasaki Engine Brake Control
- Engine brake actuator controller maintains proper adjustment
during servicing and maintains reliability of engine brake activation
- Automatically applied under certain conditions to provide engine
braking for additional slowing power when descending hills
- Automatically compensates for CVT belt wear to maintain consistent
engagement
Exclusive Variable Front Differential
- Allows riders to control the amount of slip in the limited-slip
front differential
Electrically "Selectable" 2WD/4WD
- Choose between 2WD and 4WD for changing terrain and applications
with the flip of a switch
Independent Front Suspension
-Double wishbone and coil-over-shock absorbers with adjustable
preload provide a comfortable ride with 6.7 inches of suspension
travel
- A-arm caster angle provides light steering
- Aluminum steering knuckles are tough and feature added protection
for the CV boots
- Constant velocity joints at the front wheels have a wide operating
range for durability. The joints can also be independently disassembled
to simplify maintenance
Independent Rear Suspension
- Double wishbone and preload adjustable shock for each rear
wheel provides superior ride comfort and ground following ability
- Torsion bar helps control body roll
Sealed Rear Brake System
- Multi-disk rear brake system is totally enclosed within the
rear gear case
- Operates in a sealed oil bath so that the brake is unaffected
by water, mud, dust and debris
- Compact design provides more ground clearance at the rear end
Rugged Bodywork
- Thermoplastic olefin bodywork has a high gloss finish for great
looks and is more scratch resistant than polyethylene plastic
so it stays looking good longer
- Dual compartments on the front fenders provide convenient storage.
Optional storage cylinder at the rear matches the muffler shape
for a sporty, balanced appearance
Spacious Cockpit
- Comfortable, upright seating position combined with the independent
rear suspension for a luxurious ride
- Wide seat for increased rider comfort
Additional features
- Trailer hitch bracket with 1,250 lbs. towing capacity is standard
equipment

meter and fuel gage are mounted at a steep angle and has a visor
to make the meter more visible from the upright seating position
- Tire and wheel design provides an integrated look with aggressive
bodywork as well as superb traction
