How to clean and fix KEBC actuator motor unit on the Kawasaki Brute Force and Prairie 360, 650, 700 and 750 models. The Kawasaki Engine Brake Control motor actuator sits on top of the CVT belt transmission cover and provides mechanical engine braking by engaging the actuator and then providing force to a fork that in turn forces the primary clutch basket to tighten the belt. The KEBC unit is prone to water and mud and needs serviced more often if you ride in these conditions. Recently I had the opportunity to tear into the KEBC system and give everything a good lube and cleaning. The KEBC actuator motor sits on top of the CVT clutch cover and is taken off by removing three 8mm bolts. The actuator assembly then can be pulled straight up and off. If you plan on cleaning the unit disconnect the electrical connection plug. Once off you can begin disassembling the unit by first removing the three phillips screws on the motor housing. The motor housing will now pull straight upward and you will notice a slight resistance from the magnets inside the housing. To separate the actuator housing remove the phillips screw on the front and simply pull the case apart while wiggling it just a bit. Once inside you'll find a series of three removable metal gears. As routine I've documented this entire how to fix KEBC motor and it's provided here. Watch this video that explains where to apply a light coating of grease for reassembly after everything has been cleaned. The video will also show you how to remove the larger gear that extends through the case. Once reassembled simply reinstall it on the CVT transmission belt cover and you're ready to go!
