Kawasaki
Prairie 360 4x4 Dependable All-terrain
Performer
An all-around contender in the mid-sized
category, the 2011 Kawasaki Prairie®
360 4x4 ATV helps you handle business
and fun. Whether you’re hauling
firewood or exploring the wilderness,
this capable ATV is a solid choice. Its
dependable air-cooled four-stroke single
cylinder engine, Kawasaki Automatic Powerdrive
System with engine brake control, and
variable locking front differential control
combine to deliver the power and stability
users seek in a practical off-road machine.

The
362cc engine provides the power
for the Prairie to get up to speed
& to get you out of any sticky
situations by powering the 4x4 system
with front diff lock |
This reasonably priced ATV features a 362cc engine with a continuously variable
transmission with high, low and reverse
gears. Its reliable shaft drive requires
minimal maintenance. Suspension duties are
ably handled by the MacPherson strut front
suspension and a preload adjustable rear
shock.
If additional traction is needed, the
rider can send power to all four wheels
at the flip of a switch. A limited-slip
front differential helps keep steering
light and precise, even in four-wheel
drive. In extreme conditions, the rider
can use Kawasaki’s Variable Front
Differential Control lever to send power
to both front wheels. Once maximum traction
is no longer needed, the rider simply
releases the lever — a simple and
effective system.

The
rear sealed brake will have you
spending less time working on the
machine & more time hitting
the trails or doing chores around
the home |
Stopping power on the Prairie 360 4x4 is provided by a combination of dual front
disc brakes and Kawasaki’s sealed,
oil-bathed, multi-disc rear brake system.
Further speed control is provided by the
Kawasaki Engine Brake Control, which uses
engine compression and CVT belt pressure
to help slow the ATV under certain conditions.
The MacPherson strut front suspension
and a single-shock aluminum swingarm rear
suspension give the Prairie 360 4x4 a
supple ride with 6.7 and 7.1 inches of
travel front and rear, respectively. A
large, comfortable saddle and full-sized
floorboards with adjustable footpegs further
maximize rider comfort.

The
front & rear racks of the Prairie
360 can hold a combines weight of
242lbs |
Its steel front and rear cargo racks
can carry a combined weight of 242 pounds.
Other conveniences include powerful dual
halogen headlights, and a hitch bracket
that is standard, permitting the rider
to tow 1,100 pounds — the highest
towing capacity in its class. Owners can
expand the versatility of their Prairie
ATV via the extensive line of Authentic
Kawasaki Accessories, available through
Kawasaki dealers.
As with all off-highway vehicle recreation,
Kawasaki encourages ATV riders to ride
responsibly and to respect the environment.
