In today’s video I have a little too much fun on my brand new 2021 Kawasaki Brute Force 300! I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching! CLOTHING - kentuckyballis... INSTAGRAM - / kentuckyballistics
@@Rusty.1776 i think he more likely overheated the belt. High revs in high range, under excessive load can glaze the belt. Anytime when mudding or even just thru rough terrain where torque is needed, its best to use low range with CVT systems. Its one of the main reasons i dont like them.
Like said below, it’s a CVT belt drive and you got water inside the CVT wetting the belt and making it slip. Drain the CVT cover/case and it will go back to working like new, unless you already fried the belt slipping it that much.
That’s a stupid design , why would they design a four wheeler with a CVT belt lol. I was thinking wet air filter , because I have ran into that issue many times on vehicles and off road toys. But that makes a lot of sense. Pretty stupid to have a four wheeler with a cvt belt.
@@rickylandry9979 way more torque that way. They'll haul anything and they don't need clutches or anything. no shifting, no low gear, it's simpler and gives more power.
@@tacticalidiot175 Oh ok that makes sense, thanks for the info. Also makes sense why I have never seen one before, all the four wheelers I have owned have always been standard with a clutch. But I see why someone would pick that over a standard shift with what your saying.
i remember the torture test video of the 500 S&W magnum when he dragged the gun behind the argo from the pond to the range paying close attention i was able to hear his dad heavy breathing a little bit from walking all the way there
@@scottlowe8192 I have a 2000 foreman. Actually looking to sell it. It's in great condition, been maintained and kept in a garage, good tires, Only ridden during deer season. Only problem is the from driver wheele bearing might need replacing. Absolutely no rust. Also, the drain plug is jb welded because I stripped it out
Yep! I’m finally giving up my Honda 1800cc after 20 years still in showroom condition. They are amazing! If you can’t manual shift you have a heap of sh….eet metal…
Water in the belt housing. My Yamaha Kodiak 450 was bad about getting water in the belt housing. Have to take the cover off, take the belt off dry it and clean the Mudd off the clutch and from the cover.
Do you think it could have the wrong belt on it? Could it be a little used and someone stole the belt before they returned it and replaced it with a worn one?
I just wanna say ur dad is a good dad! Anybody who says "yeah I'd (insert crazy shit) if it was me" in order to get his son to do something really stupid and potentially life threatening is a great dad! 🤣😂🤣😂🤙🇺🇲
The belt is drenched and slipping. Dry it up and clean it out of the mud and you'll be good as long as you didn't smoke te belt with all that slipping lol
ah my bad but you see I don't go mudding too much since my atv is built like a rock crawler soft suspension, high torque and low speed and very soft and high profile tires and it's only 300cm³ so even if it wasn't tuned I still wouldn't since it is a cheap Chinese copy of an cheap Chinese copy
This is why i own Honda's!!! NO BELTS!!! At the time i was looking at these but Honda with no belt and floor shift old skool with the Recon and Rancher is the way to go. I own both.
Don't get rid of it...I have a 2020 with over 1500 miles on it. We beat the hell out of it and had no issues. These are awesome quads... just as fun and reliable as my Honda rancher.
@@markdice6361 Definitely not? OK glad you know exactly how it worked But absolutely definitely not a youtuber trying to get comments to supplement his income right? You so smart
For racing/trails ATV a Yamaha YFZ 450R. For an automatic quad a Polaris sportsman. If you’re looking for a razor then try a Polaris razor depth finder.
All automatic atvs have the belt drivin cvt system (except for some honda, but they're no better). He just got the belt wet, drain the belt housing and it's good. It's a small 2wd atv, it's not made to blast through a pond.
Just imagine how many stories this quad and you will have in ten years between the two channels!.. It's a journey/tale that I can't wait to see as the viewer. Have fun always, stay safe and stay great Scott!. 🙏🙏🍻
@@yourmom8900 Good to know, thanks man! What do you think of the Kodiak 450/700? I know Yamaha engines are solid, but whether I get Kawasaki, Honda or Yamaha, I don’t want to change wheel bearing and other stuff like that all the time…or at least as minimal as possible. What brand do you recommend as far as all that goes?
@@damon323 well all of it really depends on your opinion i used to have a grizzly actually it was a 700 and that thing ripped! no break downs and it would go through anything. As i said personal preference
You can just use a chain it's got no slip issues at high torque output. Problem is these cvt drives are usually an excuse to put in parts that aren't meant to take super high torque due to the belt slipping if the user ever pushes the thing too far.
It is belt driven. The belt has its own cover you can open up. It needs to be drained. And I’d probably put a new belt on while it’s open. That one is probably smoked after all that slipping
Also there is a 10 hour break in period half throttle only then after 10 hours you change all the fluids like oil and diff oil. Otherwise you can break it by the way
MY POLARIS DOES THE SAME. JUST CANNOT GUN IT IN THE WATER, TAKE IT EASY- I REPLACED THE BELT THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM ,IT WAS NOT. JUST SOMETIMES WATER GETS IN, SO WHAT I DID IS TAPED THE SEELING OF THE BELT CASING AND PROBLEM SOLVED!! NO MORE SLIPPING.
Belt driven. Drain in and ride it. As other commentator said, Honda is the only one now that’s still shady driven. I have a Polaris that if belt gets wet, it’ll do that until u pull the plug, as soon as water begins to leave the belt housing, it goes as usual
I never went through deep water. On any of my quads. The deep sugar sand is enough. For me. If i wanted a canoe. Id get one. Different ways of havin fun. But great vid. Thsnk u sir.
Didn't do the break in period. I've got a '21 with several hundred hours on it. I did the break in process from the manual and I haven't had any issues. As a matter of fact, the manual states on pg 67 "Failure to follow the break in process could result in a "broken down" instead of a "broken in" vehicle"..
We have a 2007 Kawasaki brute force 750 v twin that we snow plow our driveway (Michigan) and it’s still going and will do wheelies with the plow on it. My girlfriend has a tracker 570 that has been awesome, this will be year two of owning it so we will see how it holds up. My vote is for the brute force 750 though
Yamaha Grizzly 700 would be your best bet! Near indestructible and tons of power and features! I have a 660 and all the buddies always love riding it and it has never let me down!
That thing has a cvt or constant velocity transmission witch means it runs uses a belt so what happened is water got in it so you just have to let it dry. This is a late comment but it’s for those of you that don’t know
I was thinking about buying a Yamaha Grizzly ? Get that one next Scott so I can see if you can break it, then I won't buy one myself. Your providing a great service to your country, (well at least to me). 🤔🤣
