i dont know if it is normal but i know i have seen it on a few of the 08 and up bikes. i always wondered about it.

 

My 09's look like that in the rear too.

 

Is there anyway to fix it? Or is ok like this?

 

Looking from the front to the back of my brute, it looks like the rear suspension is out of alinement. The rear tires lean out at the bottom of the tire. I thought it was the wheel bearings so I replace all 4 of them ( front and rear ) but the rears are still leaning out. I really dont see anything that would adjust the rear suspension, So is this normal? I really don't remember it before.

please help out if you can. Thanks guys

Most all Brutes have this...even mine. I altered mine to end the look by making the lower mount hole on the a-arm to knuckle slightly slotted so I could adjust it. There are some issues in doing this that required different bolts, sleeve length specs and torque specs and some equipment that can measure angles in degrees. Kinda a pain but I learned that the rear swing of the Brute has a 2 degree change from top to bottom...so I adjusted mine so that in its normal loaded riding position, I am at zero camber and as it moved up from there it goes to +1 degree and down from there it goes to -1 degree.

Not sure it was worth all the work. But they are straight now.

 

Is it something you could take a picture of? So I guess Kawasaki made it this way? I wonder why they would do that? Why a 2 degree change from the top.

 

My 08 is the same. I notice it the other day. Not sure why. My shocks are turned all the way up are any of yours?

 

Mine are 1 click up from the bottom. So that can't be it.

Mine has been like that since the day i bought it. And it was bought with 0.0 miles, and 0 hours. Rolled out of the crate. So i know it comes like that

 

i was told that it toes in like that for better cornering and handeling. and if you drive behind a brute it toes in more as you go from 0 to a higher speed. but as far as understand this is normal and wont cause trouble, or shouldnt. again this is what i was told and by far im not an expert
