I have 1100km of pure mudding and abuse on my Brute and have had no problems other than had to wash the airfilter twice after I flooded the machine(6 oil changes as well). I also ride with a few guys that have Brutes and King Quads and have never had any problems with thier machines and with many more Km's than I have.
