Introduction
A Workhorse for Business and Fun
Whether buzzing through the forest or tackling tough chores,
the Brute Force® 650 4x4i ATV is a superior choice in the
middleweight category. Its workhorse capabilities and independent
front and rear suspension combine to ably handle work and play.
All this is available in an economical package that will please
budget-minded shoppers.
Its 633cc 90-degree V-twin engine pumps out plenty of low-to-mid
range torque and high rpm power, exactly what adventure enthusiasts
and outdoor sportsmen demand. A fully automatic, dual-range continuously
variable transmission transmits power to the ground. With low
and high forward, reverse and neutral gears, this sturdy transmission
supplies excellent control for both low- and high-speed riding.
Two- or four-wheel drive is selectable by simply pressing a handlebar-mounted
button. In four-wheel drive mode, the rider can manage the amount
of power to both front wheels with Kawasaki's Variable Front
Differential Control by pulling a small control lever on the
left handlebar. This is a definite advantage for traversing deep
mud, slippery uphill trails or large objects such as logs or
rocks.
Prudent use of aluminum in the construction of the front exhaust
pipe cover, two-piece center exhaust pipe cover, and the muffler
cover helps keep the weight down. Other features designed to
enhance the Brute Force 650 4x4i's power-to-weight ratio include
drilled transmission gears to lower their overall weight.
An optimized caster angle for the front A-arms provides both
light and responsive steering and excellent ground-following
abilities. The 650 4x4i shock absorber spring rates and initial
preload settings for both front and rear are set to deliver excellent
ride comfort. Further ride enhancement comes from the plush urethane
seat foam.
Like its Independent Rear Suspension-equipped Kawasaki brethren,
the rugged, take-on-anything styling of the Brute Force 650 4x4i
will both attract onlookers and satisfy owners. It shares front/rear
racks, skid plate and head light cover with its larger sibling.
Designed to allow easily manhandling of the Brute Force when
the need arises, the 650 4x4i sports a steel front bumper.
Stopping the 650 4x4i is a combination of dual 200mm front discs
and Kawasaki's sealed, oil-bathed, multi-disc rear brake system.
As an integrated part of the shaft drive, the enclosed rear braking
system is sealed in the aluminum swingarm where it operates in
an oil bath. This protects the brake pads 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
650 4x4i under certain conditions.
This able ATV can pull a hefty 1,250 pounds, and can carry a
combined 264 pounds on its front and rear racks. Owners can expand
the versatility of their Brute Force 650 4x4i via an extensive
line of Authentic Kawasaki Accessories, available through Kelly's
Kawasaki.
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).
