Brute Force™ 650 4x4 Camo
Powerful, rugged and a great performer in an
affordable package
The Brute Force™ 650 4x4 features a powerful
Kawasaki V-twin engine coupled to a state of the
art four-wheel-drive system in a full-sized ATV
chassis. With modern styling, an automatic
continuously variable transmission (CVT), shaft
drive and limited slip differentials, the 650
4x4 offers unbeatable value without skimping on
features.
The Brute Force 650 4x4 is powered by Kawasaki’s
highly acclaimed liquid-cooled 633cc, 90-degree
V-twin engine featuring single overhead cams and
four valves per cylinder. It is fed by dual 32mm
Keihin carburetors drawing fresh air from a
snorkel intake located high in the frame near
the steering head. Together, these powerplant
features provide the rider with industry-leading
torque and smooth-running operation unmatched by
the competition.
Power is then transferred to Kawasaki’s
much-acclaimed fully automatic CVT transmission.
With high or low forward gears, plus neutral and
reverse, this proven transmission functions
seamlessly, providing excellent control for both
low- and high-speed work or recreational riding.
Plus, the Brute Force 650 4x4 can also be
started in any gear, provided the brakes are
applied.
Complementing the CVT is a switch on the right
handle bar that gives the rider a choice of
either two-wheel or four-wheel drive operation,
and power is delivered to the wheels by
dependable, low-maintenance shaft drive. 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.
As expected, the Brute Force 650 4x4 includes
Kawasaki’s Variable Front Differential Control,
a favorite feature often praised by editors of
the leading ATV magazines. By pulling a small
lever on the left handlebar, the rider can
deliver equal amounts of power to both front
wheels, a definite advantage for riders
encountering deep mud and slippery uphill trails
or when traversing over large objects such as
logs or rocks.
The Brute Force 650 4x4 braking system also
benefits from leading-edge Kawasaki design. Dual
front disc brakes with dual-piston calipers are
matched to 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
pads from mud, dust and debris, and is virtually
maintenance-free.
Working in conjunction with 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 ATV.
Kawasaki’s 4x4 ATVs have a well-deserved
reputation for providing smooth, comfortable
rides and the Brute Force 650 4x4 carries on
this tradition. MacPherson strut front
suspension with 6.7 inches of travel grace the
front end, while the aluminum swingarm rear
suspension features a fully adjustable spring,
piggy-back reservoir and 7.2 inches of travel.
Additional comfort is provided by a large saddle
and adjustable footpegs mounted atop full-size
floorboards. To help reduce unsprung weight and
further enhance the smooth ride, the Brute Force
rides on aluminum wheels.
The Brute Force 650 4x4 is wrapped in
tough-looking bodywork styled after its bigger
sibling, the Brute Force™ 750 4x4i. With its
modern, aggressively angled lines complemented
by cat-eye headlights, the bodywork is made from
Thermo-Plastic Olefin, which has an ultra-high
gloss appearance and is scratch-resistant.
Other features include front and rear steel
racks that can carry a total of 264 pounds of
cargo, and a tow hitch so it can tow up to 1,250
pounds. Kawasaki engineers also provided space
inside the front guard so it can accommodate a
Warn 3000 winch or Super Winch 3000.
The Brute Force 650 4x4 comes with fully digital
instrumentation, including speedometer,
odometer, dual resettable trip meters, clock,
hour meter, fuel gauge and 2x4/4x4 indicators.
There is also a DC power outlet.
