The carbs are out of adjustment. Easy fix. Also, 4wd actuator going out or acting funky is common on the brutes. I had an 05,06, and 07 and never had an issue with any of them. Dependable Power houses!
mine does this too, I just found this online: Actuator control system trouble shooting, when the actuator fails, the controller enters failure mode and the indicator light illuminates 2wd,4wd alternately. 1. if it alternates really fast at 0.5 secs on 2wd and 0.5 secs on 4wd then the problem is selectable 2wd/4wd actuator 2. if it alternates from 2wd/4wd at 1 sec intervals, the problem is the engine brake actuator 3. if it alternates from 2wd/4wd at 2 sec intervals, the problem is both the selectable 2wd/4wd actuator AND engine break actuator
You must have the correct oil in the front diff because the oil must warm up I had the same problem in my 09 and it takes 20-30 but the guy I baught it from had gear oil in it after I put the correct oil in it it works great and will always work at the switch
I have a 2004 Brute Force 650, no EFI. Real doesn't like cold. Takes a long time to warm to plow. I have learned over years of having Kawasaki's not to switch out of 4x4 in the winter, it's a big flaw in these things. Summer is better, but if I do in the winter, I do it warm, then from neutral to reverse for 10 feet then high for 10 feet then back one more time. A trick Iearned 9n my 89 suburban, had to reverse it to get it out of 4x4. Different system, same concept.
Like ltr 450 rider said, you cant use gear lube in the front diff. it will screw it up and go in and out of 4wd and not engage when you want it to. I believe ATF is what is recommended.
If you could call me I could tell you the problem right away, very simple fix to where you un bolted your belt casing and probably unplugged the wires, there is a sequence you need to perform to reset your belt break. It will only allow you to do 30 km or so, it's very simple to do,
Johnny Pea I was trying to figure out what the problem was, why it would go back and forth between 2wd and 4wd. I couldn't figure it out and neither could my dealership "which I don't go to anymore" I finally figured out it was the actuator on the clutch. I put it in the info.
Belt actuator as 4x4 actuator go over time I got my 05 new never had any issues after I removed the buss connector above the gas tank but I had the flashing 4x4-2wd from buss connector after while the 4x4 actuator went but I mean it's almost 10 years old
that sneezing noise out of the carbs is refered to as lean pop. turn the mix screws on the bottom of the carb out to four turns then clean and oil the heck out of you foam air filter with air filter oil not just any oil. you might need to adjust the idle after a bit but that shoud fix your lean pop in this case. note let your air filter oil dry on the filter before installation. installing wet will cause the engine to run extremely rich and will require throttle to stay running for a short time. this will not damage a engine in anyway.
the popping back in the carbs is because of the cheap ethanol mixed gas. what a lot of people do, because it's an ATV is run the cheapest gas they can buy in them. and it specifically states in the manual that the 650 and 750 needs to run 98 octane.. so to avoid further carb problems. spend the little extra on some good gas...
Adam: I have an '07 Brute Force. I bought it brand new - last year of carbs. The sounds the engine brake actuator is making sound normal. It should do that when you turn the key on and off. As far as I know they are self tests. If you have a problem with either that actuator or the 4WD actuator, the display with alernate/flash between 2WD/4WD. According to my owners manual, which I would think is that same for an '05, it says this: "Flashing 2WD/4WD indicator lights singnal a malfunction of the Kawasaki Engine Brake Control System. A flashing interval of 0.5 seconds indicates a malfunction of the 2WD/4WD actuator. A 1 second interval indicates the Kawaski Engine Brake Control actuator is malfunctioning, and a 2 second interval if both actuators are malfunctioning. Which ever the case may be, see an authorized Kawasaki dealer". Mine did just that. I couldn't really tell which one it was, but the machine had sat for a while. After riding it a few times, it quit, and it did go in and out of 4WD. So I suspect the engine brake actuator. I called a local Kawasaki dealer in the Minneapolis area, and they said they "plug them in" to see which it is. Must be able to access that information with a laptop. Anyway, just some info. Hope it might help, and good luck. I really like my 750, only problem I have had is the front diff actuator failed in '09. Otherwise, ok. One last thing. Sometimes we have to break down and take it to the shop. :)
thanks for the comment. I sold this quad a few months after I took this video. it turned out it was the belt actuator that was the problem. sadly my dealer I took it to "which pisses me off still to this day" couldn't figure it out and I spent over $400 and I ended figuring out what the problem was. they put a new actuator of the 4x4 and that wasn't even the problem... but I bought a brand new 2012 brute force 750 in 2012 and I tell you what! that 2012 has way more power and better all the way around!
Adam Wyckstandt I hear and feel the frustration with the dealer. I try to fix WHAT I CAN, by myself. If you need parts, I have been using Kawasaki Parts Nation, part of Cycle Parts Nation since '02. They have the best prices I have found on line, great service, and I have searched a lot of sites. Anyway, glad your riding again. I like the Kawasaki. However, I personally don't like the engine brake. One more electrically driven device to fail or cause probelms. Maybe I am a total moron, but why do I need the engine brake? Isn't that what the brakes on the machine are for - braking?
Lord man, the more of this video I watch the worse I feel. Its the bus connector under the right rear plastic. It was a factory problem. They fixed it in 06. Message me if you need help still.
this one was junk most likely because of the owner that had it before me. prob beat the shit out of it. but the new 2012, they did so much different to them and they are the best atv i ever rode. and will keep buying them. "new"
Holy shit these make me almost throw my phone. "It" = what????? For fuck's sake it's like the viewer and you have talked about the problem 20 times. I would have no idea what you are even talking about if I wasn't already aware of issues with ATVs
This video does nothing but waste my time. Thought it was gonna be informative but doesn't even show a problem. Take video off so it doesn't waste other peoples time.
picklecantrell if you think the video waste your time why did you bother writing a rude comment. also this video is posted because I couldn't figure out why the quad would go from 2wd to 4wd and neither could my dealership. turned out after time I found the actuator on the clutch was bad. which I posted in the info "but people don't seem to read that".
I agree 100% ever since that quad I have had all new! I've bought a new 2012 brute force 750 then a new 2014 brute and now I've went to a new 2015 Polaris rzr 900s

I don't understand if you had so many problems with it you tard you should have traded it in. And by the way I have one and I've never had a problem with it. You just got the bad make.

Replace the belt actuator. And speed sensor. Problem fixed
brent lee yes you are correct that was the problem.
THE PROBLEM WAS THE BELT ACTUATOR... replace it and your problem is fixed.
it is the belt actuator. that little motor. i got a new one for around $220 or something like that brand new from my dealer.
why show the video about a problem that does not contain the problem?

Please get in touch with me I need some help with my 05 ...give me another way to get in contact with you
mine is doing the same problem i need to know what it is to fix it

I always run 93 octane she'll v power. this quad had a lot of problems. I was young and I've learned a lot since. I also don't buy junk anymore.
can you tell me whats the problem because i am having the same trouble
what's the electron modulator
I can tell you exactly what it is. I own an 05. They're a headache. Once you get the factory f-ups out, then it's a great bike.
Well please talk to me. Because I have done everything to get the factory issues out the way but I'm still having problems....
are those powermadd handguard? if yes are they worth the money and easy install? thanks
S.T. ENTERTAINMENT I don't remember what brand they were but yes I really liked them.
dude dont feel bad i have that same problem plus i just droped 3 grand in a new motor ive done almost everything
Same here
yep the brute 300, artic cat 300, grizzly 300, and there 300, but the 750s are not only there 300s are nothing else.
I had one do that on a 650 and it was the switch on the handle bar that was going bad
thats the valves mine did that i adjusted them and it went away

the noise may be compression comming from a gasket leak or a header leak.
They're money pits if you get the run one.. good luck

mine does not have the bus conection and it still flashes
if you had alot of problems why did you buy a new 2012
mine has had no probs at all. why buy used with out checking. its your belt
it was the actuator on the clutch
It's an 05 and whoever had it before you probably ran the hell
Out of it
That’s why I try not to buy a used brute because you know they’ve been beat lol
this one was junk most likely because of the owner that had it before me. prob beat the shit out of it. but the new 2012, they did so much different to them and they are the best atv i ever rode. and will keep buying them. "new"

Seriously do not buy a new belt actuator until you try to reset it.
the sad thing about anything new from kawasaki are they are made and built by kymco,a chineese company.
that's what my 04 Kawasaki praise 700 does, I have no clue what it is
It was the belt actuator. Replace it and your problem is fixed.

Doing WHAT? You keep talking about it doing it or not doing it but I must have missed what it's actually doing.
it was the belt actuator that was making it go from 4x4-2x4. I got a new one and fixed the problem
Glad I wasn't the only one thinking that
actually they are only making bikes for artic cat, and there not chineese
This is why I would never buy a used atv. When u drive them underwater and flood everything this kinda stuff starts happening.
