Just wanted to say thank you all for watching. Please subscribe if you can!

[@CPthetooladdict]

Well I'll be jiggered here I thought I had a bad fuel pump glad I watched this first!! Thanks sir

[@MrDutchman100]

I got a brute force 750. Also, I ripped my bike apart numerous times to fix certain things they don’t make it easy but it still gets done. My last adventure with the ATV was the battery in for whatever reason it tripped the sensor for the belt CVT I replaced The battery started it up, but it sounded like the carbs were just clogged up so I thought. After. Reading the maintenance manual I found out you need to reset the system or it leaves you in limp mode and there’s a certain way you need to reset it. As soon as I rest it it ran fine.

[@NickPixelTV]

This is accurate. I have reset my system so many times but the brute is a beast

[@ah100bandzent]

Happy that i found your post. My brute force is doing the same. Thanks

[@cbrcliff]

Thanks for video. Bought my junker 2005 brute force 6 years ago and never had a starting problem. All it takes is 1 tank of bad gas.

[@NickPixelTV]

Truth. That filter change did the trick though! Quad has been good ever since prob about 1500 miles not a blip. Thanks for watching have fun rippin on the brute

[@MBailey1977]

I bet my 09 could use a new fuel sock! It has less than 200 hours but it set for a long period of time at my dad's. Got it back and was running rough until I put some Lucas fuel injector cleaner in the gas. Seems to have a little trouble cranking still though and this might explain it. Helpful video sir!

[@ajwilson18]

This worked for me on my 2016 brute force at 1000 miles. WTF why do they clog so easy? Saved me money. I only had to pop off the bottom part of my pump to access filter. It looked just like the video! $15 bucks for 3 filters.

[@NickPixelTV]

Alan Wilson thanks for stopping by. Glad that worked out. Haven’t had to replace mine since so you should be good to go now!

[@bibbalios]

Alan wilson what your brute was doing when you notice it was clog

[@biga205]

I went on and swapped the fuel pump but this definitely was the issue. Thanks!

[@NickPixelTV]

Glad this was helpful to you. My machine is still going strong as well. Many blessings.

[@whiterhinooutdoors4572]

Hope this fixes mine will be doin mine soon as the filter comes in I figured even it’s not bad I want the filter in hand if I’m taking everything apart just in case it is bad little worried about taking pump apart some videos say it’s a pain in the butt great video and thanks for it

[@litcigar1206]

You earned a like and a subscribe! This was a very helpful video and helped me swap out my fuel filter and ultimately my entire pump with no problems at all. You rock!!!

[@NickPixelTV]

Thank you! Im happy that this was helpful for you. Mine is still going strong as well 💪

[@strong-mc8yf]

Thanks to your video I saved myself a lot of money, filter cost me $8.99..runs like a champ again! THANK YOU SIR👍🏽

[@NickPixelTV]

+Leon McGhee right on!!! Mine has been working great as well.. thanks for watching ill have more videos out soon if you decide to subscribe. Glad to hear your machine is back in action

[@strong-mc8yf]

KC3FSX I subscribed! I actually can tell the difference in power by changing that filter and installing new plugs. I don't won't it but I'm fixing to install a radiator relocation kit now, you need to do a video on installing one lol

[@NickPixelTV]

+Leon McGhee I did the plugs and filter and i feel like I got back like 15 horsepower when first got the quad it was snappy. The filter and plugs brought that back. Def worth checking that filter from time to time. I pre-filter my fuel now just in case. As far as the moving the radiator.. it has been on my list but haven't gotten to it yet. I just try to clean it out after riding. Thanks for the sub

[@strong-mc8yf]

+KC3FSX that's so true about the 15hp! Big different after changing all that! I clean my radiator before a ride and afterwards but it still a problem after running through water,mud and dust lol. I rode the Hatfield McCoy trail last year and that's when I realized I need to move the radiator up top smh..many miles from your cabin with a overheating atv isn't fun lol. Don't wanna talk you to death lol but thanks again man

[@NickPixelTV]

+Leon McGhee its all good man. Where you from? Hatfield is the best missed the forst trip friends took this year maybe in fall be able to make it.

[@Nexus-6]

Thanks for posting the video! I had a thought.. Could a person just remove the strainer from the fuel pump assembly, and install a downstream, inline fuel filter for ease of service instead of having to pull the fuel pump to replace the in-tank strainer? A strainer could also be added on the fuel tank filler neck to prevent gross contaminants from falling into the fuel tank during filling.

[@NickPixelTV]

@@Nexus-6 anytime thank you for your time here and the info ;)

[@jaystidham1668]

Thank you! For the video now my 4wheeler runs amazing 👏

[@NickPixelTV]

Right on! You’re welcome!

[@rzl07375]

Thanks for posting this. I have a 14 Brute as well and always pre filter my gas before pouring it in after reading about this common issue. Hope it solved your issues.

[@NickPixelTV]

+rzl07375 thanks for watching! It def seems to have fixed my problem. Going to try and get out on a longer ride here soon but before the replacement you could notice it right away. I'll keep you updated

[@rzl07375]

KC3FSX I also use a rec gas thats 89 octane with no ethanol.... it runs so much better.

[@NickPixelTV]

+rzl07375 this is good to know. Appreciate it. Had i known I would be getting into this i would of done that from the start

[@bradytaylor2165]

re routing the vent would help prevent this issue as well. the vent goes into the frame, everytime you get in mud, it fills the tank with shit. (hollow tube frame)

[@danktm1973]

I m thankfull for your video..i did it but only clean filter and tank very carful!!and put every tings back and now it have fuel enought to drive fast !!💪🤘✌

[@NickPixelTV]

Glad it helped Heck yeah!

[@elubaofficialvevo2787]

Thanks for the video. My brute force 750 Is doing the same exact thing.

[@NickPixelTV]

That should fix it. Mine has been good ever since

[@robsimpson2694]

Great video thank you, mine looked like a tea bag. I have ordered a three pack off ebay and confident it is the issue.

[@NickPixelTV]

Howd it work out i hope you got er Running Rob thanks for stopping by

[@HammerHeadGarage]

Doing a pump on an 08 right now. If you do the fuel flow test and dont get at least 150cc for 3 key on 3 second primes you got a problem.

Very good 👍🏻 thanks for the lesson.

[@utahwanderlust700]

It's scary how much junk can come right out of the gas station pump. I fill up 5, 5 gallon cans when I go out, and there is always some crud floating around in the gas. The stations are supposed to clean their storage filters routinely, but most don't do it. Some don't do it at all.

[@NickPixelTV]

Truth. So far i have about doubled the mileage with no issues but use a filter most of the time. I should knock on wood now. Appreciate you stopping by don’t forget to hit the bell. Thanks

[@mainenorthwoodshunter3265]

I have a 2009 750 brute force. It seems like it only has about half throttle. When I first start it it seems ok but the longer it runs the worse it gets and it has been sputtering a bit as well. I went back to zero ethanol fuel hoping that was the problem but no. I had a bad plug once and changed them both to the iridium plugs. Are these the same symptoms you had? Thanks for the video. Hopefully its the direction I have to go. Sadly i am not the mechanic that you are though.

[@NickPixelTV]

Is your 09 fuel injected? If you changed plugs already then it sounds like a fuel delivery issue for sure.

[@mainenorthwoodshunter3265]

Yes it is fuel injected. Thank you for all the information.

[@lobosolo3215]

Great video. First time seeing video, as I just bought a 2014 750 EPS brute Force. Having almost identical issues. Could you please tell me #1) what does it mean when 2nd from right red light blinking even after setting all night and starting? and #2) how in the heck to remove front main plastic as I am having all plastic redone/painted? I hope to hear from you. Thank you for this valuable video

[@NickPixelTV]

The blinking light could be the unit going into limp mode it does flash when u turn the key on until its started the front plastic you have to find all the connecting points i know the top rack needs to be removed and the plastic bumper its a pretty good tear down

[@connorfrancis7056]

Having a similar problem but when I’m at idle, gonna see if this makes a difference.

[@NickPixelTV]

Any luck on your machine?

[@connorfrancis7056]

@@NickPixelTV unfortunately no luck but your video was helpful when it came to replacing it anyways! I have an Air idle control valve that I haven’t gotten around to swapping. If that doesn’t help gonna take it to the shop and have injectors done, done a lot to it already but the problem still prevails tired of messing with it lol

Thank you!!

[@NickPixelTV]

No problem. Never expected this video to be so helpful but I get so many messages on it. Quad has been good ever since. Thanks for stopping by and watching!

[@JosephL6174]

Great video.... where did you order the strainer from? Having a hard time locating it. Thanks

[@NickPixelTV]

I found mine on ebay. I only got 1 but sometimes they come in like a 3 pack

[@luc917]

can you do a video of disassembly too, i need to do the same thing

[@markleibfreid8858]

Nick, if you don't use that thing often, put aviation fuel in it, get away from the ethanol! KC3CMF

[@NickPixelTV]

+Mark Leibfreid thanks mark! Def going to change the fuel up - even straining the fuel i was able to see crap in the strainer with just a few gallons.

[@ls8boyz]

When yours lost power did it come back if you switched it off and back on?

[@mgl_outdoors8836]

Nice video I am fixing to try this on mine any good websites to buy these parts from or the filter assembly ? Thanks

[@NickPixelTV]

I got mine on ebay. I would have to look again but they used to be everywhere

[@1geitboy]

I think minecis doing the exact same thing im gonna try and find the filter

[@NickPixelTV]

That is what i would check first

[@jeremyfrancis8207]

Wish you would have shown how to take apart the bottom of fuel pump. Can't seem to get mine apart.

[@NickPixelTV]

Jeremy Francis do you mean the white plastic area at the bottom? I finagled some small screwdrivers in it to pull apart the two tabs that hold it all together its a bit tricky. Take your time with it let me know how u make out

[@jeremyfrancis8207]

KC3FSX-Nick I finally figured it out, I used paper clips and it actually worked out good. The bottom cover was full of little worms, I was out of town last weekend and had to use a spare gas can so, I think its safe to say why my brute would barley run. Thanks man!

[@NickPixelTV]

Jeremy Francis mine has been running great ever since. Glad I could help out in some way. Hope your machine runs good after the fix. Where ya from? Thanks for watching btw

tonylama no problem at all. Thanks for stopping by the channel. You having the same issue?

[@toninoquaglietta-xl1ty]

HI. first of all congratulations for your videos, they are really interesting. I am writing to you from Italy, I have a 2009 KVF 750. Stunning car! but lately I replaced the petrol pump, and as soon as I reassembled everything, the FI light is flashing on the instrument panel..I can't solve the problem! would you have any advice for me? thank you and congratulations again.

[@NickPixelTV]

Thank you. Ti stimo molto - I think maybe after you replace everything the last part is the reset. In the there is an adapter that you jumper the two pins to reset the computer. that may help you. Should be information on Google as well on how to reset computer and flashing light. I think I showed it in this video if the KVF is the same setup. Cheers!!

[@Straxehh]

Got it all done bike starts mint but my check engine light is on any ideas why it could be ?

[@NickPixelTV]

Hunter make sure that the switch was in the right position and you may need to clear the computer. There is a little gray jumper tab with a red wire on it that you plug into the computer to reset it. Once that is reset you should be good to go. I think there are youtube videos on resetting computer on brute force

[@Straxehh]

NickPixelTV I tried it but the lights still on

[@NickPixelTV]

Did it reset where you saw the rapid flashing? Is the cvt light on or just the check engine something seems fishy there

[@Straxehh]

NickPixelTV got it all solved !! That’s nick. Great channel btw !

[@NickPixelTV]

Hunter thanks man that means a lot. I subscribed to you for when you start making videos ;) glad I could help

[@bowhntr1210]

Just wondering....... why couldn't you reassemble the fuel pump minus the filter and put an inline filter somewhere that is more accessible?

[@NickPixelTV]

Bow Hunter so that strainer is directly connected to the pump itself.. i think it prevents the debris from ruining the pump itself or getting into the pump. Putting an inline filter would catch everything after it has already gone through the pump.. your thoughts?

[@ericsimard9688]

Thank you

[@robhunter2279]

I just bought an 07 750 seems like it’s lacking a lot of power weak fuel to begin with but I’m thinking the screen is plugged on her I’ll try it out just bought it few days ago

[@NickPixelTV]

That would be the first thing i would check. And then the fuel pump itself ;) best of luck with your new machine. Brutes are awesome!

[@davematchett8966]

I have a 2021brute force 750 with 1500kms started doing this my good lord what a racket then again at 3000 i strain the gas before i dont know how too stop it

[@NickPixelTV]

Did you change the fuel filter or check it? 2021 is it still under warranty?

[@ryanlewis6095]

How hard was it to pull off all the Plastics to access everything

[@NickPixelTV]

Ryan, it isn’t too bad. Pull the rear rack and back plastic. Take the screws out of the electrical tray and flip it over. If you’re used to working on a machine can be done probably in like 20 mins give or take. You having the same problem?

[@yousad6742]

My 09 has been stalling and giving me an “f1” code and then it would stall and be a bear to restart, now it’s stalls constantly and gives me no codes and sounds like it’s dropping a cylinder

[@NickPixelTV]

I would start by checking those screens and then possibly fuel pump itself

[@Suzukinolimits]

Do you know what the engine light means on the kawasaki brute force

[@NickPixelTV]

Depends what the code is?

[@bowhntr1210]

I considered that. But most pumps that Im familiar with ( pond pumps, sump pumps, well pumps ) take a lot of abuse before failing. As long as you use some caution refueling and use some common sense storing the bike, ie fuel stabilizer..... But then common sense might be to just replace the darn screen in the pump! I was just trying to think of a solution where it would be much more convenient to service and more cost efficient.

[@NickPixelTV]

Bow Hunter i hear ya.. the new screen is cheap. Just a pain to get to esp. cause the mud gets caught between the tank and the bottom of the electrical tray. I pre-filter all my fuel tanks now and the quad has been running great so far.

[@bowhntr1210]

Such as ......? Using a paint cone/filter or something similar?

[@justingoodnight6796]

I have a 2012 750 fuel injected and it's doing the same thing do you know if our fuel pumps are set up the same? It would save me alot of money to just replace the screen then the while assembly
