Air routed to the air filter (and to the CVT) enters a cavity located in front of the air box via a
rear-facing intake passage under the handlebars. This helps prevent the ingress of water,
mud, dust, etc.
A new 3-piece shroud box further reduces the possibility of water and mud entering
the air box and CVT cavity in harsh conditions. Insulators are attached to the lefthand shroud panel to reflect exhaust pipe heat and ensure cooler air flow into the air
box for a denser intake charge to increase power at low speeds or under hot climate
conditions.
Drains in the air box (one on the clean side and one on the dirty side of the filter) help
remove water that accumulates in the airbox in harsh conditions.
Powerful rare-earth magnets used in the AC generator are highly efficient and lighter weight
than traditional magnets. Lighter flywheel effect aids in the quick revving engine character.
AC generator output at slower speeds is enhanced with the rare-earth magnets ma
| The 4-bulb headlight cuts an impressive swath through dark nights.
Large 20.5 L fuel tank is located beneath the rear fender and operates via a vaccuumoperated fuel pump. This location contributes to a low centre of gravity.
Instrument package mounts the instruments more vertically to suit the upright-seated riding
position. Multi-purpose, digital instrumentation includes speedometer, odometer, tripmeter,
fuel gauge, engine temperature indicator, clock, and hour meter. Indicator lamps for neutral,
reverse gear, 2WD/4WD, belt indicator, and oil warning are also fitted.
Fenders and body parts are made of thermo-plastic olefin (TPO) material featuring a scratch
resistant finish for long-wearing good looks. Fit and finish is excellent.
Storage compartments in the left and right front fenders are handy for storing a variety of
small items. Rubber nets keep items secure yet accessible.

| TRANSMISSION
Convenient mono-shifter enables quick shifting between Reverse, Neutral, High, and Low
range thanks to the unique single sliding detent mechanism inside the transmission case.
The engine can be started in any gear if one of the brakes is applied.
New transmission gears feature lightening holes. Ratios are the same as the KVF750A.
The KAPS (Kawasaki Automatic Powerdrive System) is a high-durability automatic CVT
combined with a straight shifting High/Low/Reverse transmission designed to handle the
strong power output of the Brute Force 650 engine.
KAPS takes advantage of the Brute Force 650s strong low end torque by engaging just off
idle (approximately 1500 rpm) which contributes to the relaxed low speed riding and very
smooth belt engagement.
The drive converter uses a four-finger spider that distributes loads better than a traditional
three-finger spider. With the reduced loads per finger, CVT response is smoother and wear
is reduced.
