I'm maybe looking in to buying a brute force 650. But I don't now if a 650 or a 650i would be better in the mud.

 

[NMKAWIERIDER]

The a-arms on the 650i allow for deeper mud travel. Same for the 750s

 

[Adirondack Man]

Both great machines, but the 650i gets the nod. Radiator relocate, tires, and clutching will be the big things to do if you are looking at serious mudding.

 

[Roody]

IRS increases ground clearance out back, which is vital for serious mudding.

How much more ground clearance is there on the 650i to the 650.

 

[rmax]

Depends SRA bikes can only gain clearance with taller tires a lift will only raise the body not the rear diff
IRS bikes will gain clearance with lift an tires

 

[Bob]

I'm thinking of getting 28inch vampire edl, and a 2 inch lift.

 

[Coolwizard]

....you would loose ground clearance with the SRA but you could also add axle paddles

 

[Bob]

I'm starting to go tores the 650i even now it is $300 dollars more I we'll have more ground clearance and a better lift advantage over the 650.

 

[rmax]

This is mine with different shocks 29.5 outlaws an no lift

Are you financing? $300 over a few years equates to basically nothing.

That's a lot of ground clearance for no lift.

 

[rmax]

Raptor shocks nothing else

 

[Bob]

Raptor shocks nothing else

How much do they cost.

 

[rmax]

The ones I got are off eBay for 120$ a pair but theres a guy at chrislivengood.com that takes them an does a tear down an service on them for a good price the shocks are good but the Assembly is not that good -- low fluid. Not enough pressure or no pressure he also sells the shocks from his site cheaper than eBay check it out .I did all the stuff he does to mine after I found his web site (wish I had seen it from the start)

 

[Bob]

Are 07 brute force 750i pretty reliably. I'm kind of looking into one.

They are all reliable as long as they were taken care of and not modified to death.
