Following in the
footsteps of the very successful Kawasaki Prairie 650, is its new
Lil' Brother, the Prairie 360. The Prairie 360 is an early release
2003 model which should be showing up in your dealer showrooms as
we speak. Kawasaki wanted to incorporate many of the normal "big
bore" features in a mid-class 4x4 with a mid-size price. The
Prairie 360 carries a MSRP of $5,499 which is $1,500 less than the
big V-Twin 650.
Big
Bore Features
The transmission
and running gear on the Prairie 360 are very similar to the 650. It
uses the Kawasaki Automatic Power Drive System (KAPS) with a Hi-Lo
and reverse gear selector that is located next to the fuel tank.
The Prairie 360 also gets the Kawaskai Engine Brake Control (KEBC),
which uses engine compression to slow the ATV down on steep decents
or technical maneuvers. The unique KEBC adds no weight to the drive
or driven converters so it does not affect engine spool-up. Unlike
some engine brakes found on competing models, the KEBC only works
below 5 MPH where it is really needed. The Kawasaki CVT also
features a unique "learn" function. Everytime the Prairie 360 is
shut off, the CVT automatically adjusts itself for belt
wear.
