Kawasaki 16172-0039 Differential Actuator Assembly

The Kawasaki 16172-0039 is a 12V DC electric differential actuator designed to engage the front differential lock on select Kawasaki ATV models. It provides a torque output of 4.30 ft-lbs (5.8 Nm) at a power rating of 22W. The unit mounts directly to the front differential housing and operates via a two-wire electrical connector. This actuator replaces multiple legacy part numbers including 16172-0007, 16172-0037, 16172-1057, 16172-0004, and 16172-0001. It is constructed with a sealed housing to resist moisture and debris ingress common in off-road environments. Cross-reference interchange includes aftermarket equivalents such as TD5933 and NICHE 519-CAC2225T. Application coverage spans model years 2002 through 2023 for Brute Force 650, Brute Force 750, Prairie 360, Prairie 650, and Prairie 700. The Suzuki Twin Peaks 700 (2004-2005) shares the same differential actuator assembly.
