Brute Force 750 Tie Rod Ends Etc

[ktm400rcer]

I keep seeing and hearing about tie rod ends coming apart on BF750's. I have also seen posts that the rods themselves are weak as well. What I cant seem to find out is what the fix is, if there is any fix and if so where the parst are available for them. Being as most NJ riders are wiser than most I was wondering if anyone has heard of anything as far as truth to these rumors and where to obtain parts.

I'm told the Ricky Stator rod ends are great, but I've nvere seen them in person.

I don't know if the Brute & the V-force have the same tie-rods? (probably not)

But the stock are made of licorice..
I went to www.atvnation.com, follow the tech tips links for your machine, I purchased my new rods from Mike Penland(penland brothers racing). expect to pay about $75.00 total.
It sounds a little steep, but I have changed 3 sets of the stock crap. ($ 90.00 worth) and time not riding

Mine are made of stainless molly, A ton stronger than the stock!

As of this time , the site is down for maintenance.. up soon

good luck, keep us posted... :smiliethumbup:

The KFX 700 has the exact same tie rods as the BF except, believe it or not, thicker. When I bent the left one on my BF it was replaced with the thicker one from the 700. I hit that tree pretty fast and I was glad the tie rod bent instead of getting my arm ripped out of the socket. I have just upgraded to 26" mudlites. :unsure: I have heard the same problem from a few KFX riders. An upgrade is probably warranted, but I'll post later on how they hold up.

I UPGRADED THE TIE RODS AND ENDS ON MY HONDA TO THE ONES MADE BY TUSK (ROCKYMOUNTAIN ATV.COM ) BIG DIFFERENCE MUCH STRONGER .
