Hi thanks for a great video. But I was wondering if you could please help me with this. I did the exact same thing you did and when I put it back in it seemed to work, then it started grinding really bad when I moved and I couldn't turn the cog either way. If you could please help me out I would really appreciate
Some Damnfools Atv I did some digging last night found this, it’s pricey but I got to save my lunch money. sgroiinnovations.com/collections/kawasaki-brute-force-prairie-products/products/brute-force-prairie-tank-lever-sure-4-combo
Is it possible to bypass everything and just power the actuator directly from the battery and thru a momentary switch ??? Seems in many of these "Stuck in 4WD" probs that the actuator is still good, just the damn computer not controlling it .
@@SomeDamnfoolsAtv yes I saw that. I think it's a mechanical , cable switch, like a brake cable and lever ? and that thing is HUNDREDS ...lol. I meant send power directly to the actuator, thru a momentary switch. And yeah , my quad is like a DAMN LOG CART , stuck in 4wd...lol
What if you just leave it like that, can water and mud get in the diff or ? I mean why spend money when you can just stop turn that to 4x4 whenever you want
For some reason, i can't get the actuator to sit flush the frame is their a specific way the cylinder retangle brick must sit must go in and what about the girl but it be to the front or back i actaully tried doing this but i bolted the screws with out it being flush againt the frame and it did a nasty rubing and bang when i tied it i took ot off again it seem the gear inside the diff is find the actual retangle block had a a scuff mark tahats all other than that it also looks find and firm also i fist a remenber the gear inside the diff woukd move back and foward about an inch now since it did that nice i felt its now like half an inch hope i did not screw up thanks also i move the girl with my finger and it would change from 2wd to 4wd back ans forh but than it stopped and ideas thanks 😊
@MyAntonioavila take it back off...put the keyway at 120clock...and have the actuator in 2wd...and gently move it back and forth until it sits flush then bolt in on but not super tight...and try it again. Let me know if this helps!
@@SomeDamnfoolsAtv Hey brother just done what you showed in the video to my brute force 650, is this just a temporary thing or will it hurt the front differential if I leave it like that? I have no problem turning it manually for 4 or 2 wheel drive.
@@austinlambert4388 unfortunately that sounds like either a diff end of the front driveshaft stripped out, or a shot front diff? I wish I could be more helpful... and I really appreciate you watching brother!👍🤝💪
@@austinlambert4388 honestly I really didn't have a way. Generally you can remove the actuator from the bike, remove the cover bolts, and it will usually turn...or you can use a tester on the wires where the actuator plugs in
Some Damnfools Atv well take a bike that dont need work done to it.. just take this week off riding with out bikes you out of a page.. but do you I don't want to start anything just looking out for you bro
How about you take a week off riding? This weekend at Busco is another planned camp n ride for a subscribers bday at Busco, and the fix on the actuator that i have on bike is a sacrifice for this event. Plus....what kind of dumbass would i be to send my shit in the mud with an open diff? Even more so...make a video so someone else can tear something up? Just a little credit here please. I dont want to have to buy a diff....so.....

Thanks DANKITY! The manual 4wd conversion they offer is definitely the ticket!!!

Some darn fools consider you of being the best dillion I’m going in with ya Dutch
Nice rig, thanks for the help bout to check my issue no 4wd.
Thanks Matt and let me know what you find out about the 4wd issue

Hell yeah bro good to know!!! 😎
What do you think makes a Brute Force 300 with 23 miles run fine when it's cool once it gets to operate in temperature has no power
Damn good video bro. Seem like a cool ass dude 💯👍
Thanks brother!
Good stuff thank you
I have 2 wd on all the time wont go i 4 wd and never flashes even when disconnected do you have a guess what it could be and thanks cool vid
Man I like this guy imm try it tomorrow
Let me know how it works for you!
Just got me a brute today that I’m putting some stuff on. I’ll have a video out tomorrow on what I’m doing to it
Sweet! Year,size,color?
Why do you have a axle paddle
PIMPIN AND LIMPIN!
Wich side is one is 2wd and 4x4
Would turning the motor by hand so the same thing as tuning the gear
Lmao ! Love it!
Thanks brother!
LOL Trailer hood engineering! "pimpin & limpin" That's how I roll, man! Are you going to look into a manual conversion?
Yessir! 400.00 but problem ends there with actuator!👍👍 this is same but no cables....and free!😜
Some Damnfools Atv could you recommend a online editors to get one
Is it possible to bypass everything and just power the actuator directly from the battery and thru a momentary switch ??? Seems in many of these "Stuck in 4WD" probs that the actuator is still good, just the damn computer not controlling it .
SGORI makes a manual switch for them now 👍💪🤝

If you can pull that off, that would be cool! The actuator has 3 positions...
12 o'clock is 2wd
2 o'clock is 4wd
3 o'clock is diff lock
Fucking fantastic 😂 i keep having problems with mine i may have to try this
What if you just leave it like that, can water and mud get in the diff or ?
I mean why spend money when you can just stop turn that to 4x4 whenever you want
Because I believe if that seal fails you can cook the diff
Thank you dude😂
Thank you for watching brother and for the comment I appreciate it!!!👍💪🤝
@@SomeDamnfoolsAtv okay so I did everything the exact same way you did it and it won’t lock into 4wd, any ideas?
@@jaylenspicer1900 put it in neutral and have someone gently rock it back and forth while you try to turn it again

Excuse my spelling and autospelling haha
Meant gear instead of girl must instead

Excuse my gibberish. I had one too many millers last night, but thank you. i will try it@SomeDamnfoolsAtv
@@MyAntonioavila all good!!!
What is the “guru” whats the place you got the part?
The Guru is a family friend of 30+ years, who is the head mechanic at our local Honda shop, and he does work out of his shop at home as well.
@@SomeDamnfoolsAtv Hey brother just done what you showed in the video to my brute force 650, is this just a temporary thing or will it hurt the front differential if I leave it like that? I have no problem turning it manually for 4 or 2 wheel drive.
@@paulfox5339 no sir it won't hurt anything. The actuator has a seal to keep mud out, so long as your vent line doesn't leak... good to go!
@@SomeDamnfoolsAtv Thank you sooo much for the quick reply brother it's greatly appreciated!
I got the reverse problem mine don’t go into 4 wheel drive
Actuator shot.
This fix would work both ways.
My 2015 750 doesn’t have the gear in it,is that something you put in it?
No sir
@@SomeDamnfoolsAtv my front driveshaft is spinning but front wheels aren’t pulling any idea what’s the problem.Btw im a big fan.
@@austinlambert4388 unfortunately that sounds like either a diff end of the front driveshaft stripped out, or a shot front diff? I wish I could be more helpful... and I really appreciate you watching brother!👍🤝💪
@@SomeDamnfoolsAtv How did u check the switch to see if the switch was working?
@@austinlambert4388 honestly I really didn't have a way. Generally you can remove the actuator from the bike, remove the cover bolts, and it will usually turn...or you can use a tester on the wires where the actuator plugs in
Plus if you changed it out and still didn't fix it... that not your problem.. something else is
Yep...said that the guru was going to have to fix this issue as its electrical...and brute is in line behind 420 as i said.
