Kawasaki Brute Force & Prairie 650 -700- 750 How to adjust Belt deflection video

This video shows how to check your belt to see if its loose and how to adjust it if necessary. It shows the tools needed to remove the primary and secondary clutches and part numbers needed if you need to replace shims. The torque specs for the primary and secondary when reinstalling is 69ft lbs. Thanks for watching and please give a thumbs up and subscribe.

EPI sells great stuff I purchased a new race clutch and it works like it was made to be on the ATV.

Good job appreciate the video

For a puller I stack in deep well sockets. I’m a old tech and never actually used a fancy puller just sockets a bolt and air

[@lonniechartrand]

I had the exact same thing happen with my clutch puller! It broke just as your's did. What a PITA to get that primary off. As to the EPI tool, I have not used one yet, but my thoughts on ANY tool is this: The EPI carries a ONE YEAR WARRANTY, but what good is it if the thing breaks off in your machine? With that said, what are the thoughts of those watching this regarding the EPI tool? Will it work, or can it break too?

[@kimberleywhite1884]

hey can anyone tell me the size bolts / thread that go in the belt cover. A few of mine have cracked off

[@SONOCOY]

i had same problem. on my 05 you need to run the factory kawasaki belt witch is slightly skinnyier than the after market brands. the brake will be rubbing.

[@coltonabella5329]

Does your secondary clutch move at idle?

[@mikephipps1645]

I’ve got a 2019 750 brute my clutch cover is broken. Any body know what years are interchangeable? They all appear to be the same but I can’t find any information. Tia for any help 🤙🏼

[@placesucantgoadv2579]

His 05 looks just like my 23 if their like KLRs probably any in between

[@johnycash99]

You fix it?

[@dylanmckenzie6147]

On that 850 you got do you notice a whining/whistling noise at idle and riding. My 2021 850 Polaris sportsman whines/whistles and it sounds like it’s around the engine, I don’t think it’s the clutch

[@mogyver69]

Mine does not but I’ve herd of a issue between the engine and transmission where they attach having a bushing or bearing that can be a issue. Basically you have to pull the transmission and inspect a bolt than can come loose and the bushing or bearing of some type. I saw a video on it recently,

@@mogyver69 ok thanks

[@chrisp3119]

Was wondering where did you get your repair manual at because I have a 2016 brute force 750

[@mogyver69]

Just searched online, do a google search. Sometimes you can find a free download. Mine is for my model yr.

[@keithbennett1359]

These machines need to have the belt deflection adjusted with shims in the secondary sheave as they wear (removed) , when you go to install a new belt add shims to set the belt deflection

[@bigbee6897]

Thanks you have help me!!

[@The007astig]

How many miles or km or your project machine? Coz I found 1 got 13000km on it, I don't know if it's worth buying. 2007 13000km,650 brut force,breaks needs some work 4x4 light flashing.

[@mogyver69]

I think when I bought it , it had around 3000 miles. I paid around $2000-$2500 I believe. Been a few yrs since I purchased it. It needed rear brakes, belt and master cylinder for front brakes. I did all the work myself so it wasnt to bad.

[@MrDutchman100]

Don’t put too much grease. It’ll fling into the clutch and your belt will start slipping. Use grease sparingly or to go everywhere.

[@ggbbb1280]

Working on a 650 vtwin kawasaki for a friend. What problem would I expect if my clutch cover is greasy? Thank you

[@mogyver69]

crank seals behind the pullys. remove both primart and secondary and replace the seals.

[@adrew1963]

did you buy the tool from EPI or did you get it on e bay

[@mogyver69]

first one was a ebay one that broke. I then bought a epi one. EPI works great!

[@adrew1963]

@@mogyver69 I bought a epi tool on e bay was just wondering if it was fake cost 35 bucks not sure if thats norm or not but hell Ill give it a try and pray to god it does not break thanks

[@uwonme123]
