I bought a 2002 Kawasaki Prairie 360 4x4 from an 80 year old man that bought it new, this bike is SUPER CLEAN and has a winch, and a REALLY COOL Ducks unlimited rear utility pack and it's got a speedometer. There's ABSOLUTELY NO RUST ANYWHERE ON IT. It has 1,500 miles on it and he said he'd take $1,800 for it and I didn't try to haggle with him at all. The bike is SOOO FREAKING NICE, I had no problem giving him what he wanted. He handed me the title and said he only used full synthetic fluids. He was a nice man, he said he would use it for deer hunting on his lease every year since he bought it. He said he paid $6,500.
Hunting atvs are typically the only used atvs I will buy. They just go from point A to B and back. Very fair price and I agree, these atvs are a ton of value!
same situation with my 2003, bought from an old man that only used it for deer hunting in his private property...in mint condition too, always garage...i paid $3200 for mine "gladly".
Just got one of these to do work on. Old couple had it. Its properly mint like near perfect condition but it has sat its entire life for sure i cleaned the carb and its the worst carb ive ever seen had to clean the gas tank too. I think it might still need a need complete carb still doesn’t wanna idle nor rev up and possible head gasket problems… that one runs amazing too!
I have a 2005 model same camo. The only thing I have done to it is 16 years. Replaced batteries (3), 1 spark plug, 4 wheel drive switch ( still worked rubber boot was craked did want water to get into it to short it out) oil changes. My dad alwats told me if you take care of your equipment, it will take of you take. I will own this till the day I die. Somebody already offered me 2000 dollars for it. I told them if it's worth 2000 to you it worth 4000 to me. GREAT KAWASAKI MACHINE...........
I just bought me one today for $120 was sitting for about a year had a crack in the boot of the carb that's why it wouldn't start fpr the previous owner simple fix other than a little bit of cracking in the plastic solid rig think I got a hell of a deal
Does anyone know the top speeds on these because I like how they look and I like the price range but I also want something that is fun to rip around the road and trails
Great overview b/c I’m looking at one right now to possibly buy. It does need new pull cord & cover panel for that side, but the carb sounds like a big issue on this one. Starts & idles (electric) just fine, no smoke. But doesn’t throttle or ramp rpm well. I’d like to share the video of this that I got today and see what you have to say. Called local Kawasaki to see what OEM carb might cost & check availability. It’s not (2003-4 I think) anymore. Carb slide is but almost $200 now. Looks like lots of universal near fit Chinese carbs are available online, I think that’s what’s on it now too. Advice?
@@MichaelHoleman-v2h clean the OEM carb and you will be fine. Main jet is probably clogged. I always stay away from cheap aftermarket carburetors, they typically are not jetted correctly.
my dad just bought probably the cleanest 08 360 ever, it was owned by an old man who bought it new in 08 and it was ridden 2 or 3 times until my dad bought it a few months ago, the bike has been maintained and started even thought the guy wasn't riding it, he preserved it well. but my dad wont let my ride it like a fourwheeler should be ridden, I dont want to swim it but he wont even let me have fun at all. no mud puddles, no donuts, no wheelies, and no romping on it. all I can do is use it as a farm workhorse which is what he bought it for. I cant get him to understand that riding it how its supposed to be ridden isnt the end of the world
@@RaztechPowersports yeah, I cant blame him though because he has had terrible luck with his work horse fourwheelers before because he always bought the cheap unreliable ones so he is just getting used to having a nice durable bike. also does yours have a lot of engine noise when its cold because every 360 I have been on sounds like a diesel when its cold, I think its just a 360 thing
Yes, having a clean air filter is so good. Every time I clean mine on my 2011 I can tell it starts up and runs better and sounds stronger and healthier.
very nice video. going to look at a used 1 tomorrow and you sold me with this video. Well, as long as the bike matches what I was told lol. Since there is a front diff lock is it safe to assume it is more of an AWD than 2W/4WD?
Thanks for watching! If the ATV steers very hard, the front diff might be damaged. A lot of people lock the front diff while the wheels are spinning and blow them up internally. Overall. Excellent Atv
Thanks for the input. I caught the conversation in comments about the slider in the carb wearing. Is that pretty common and what solutions are there other than buying new? Dealer is $187 if they can get it. Unfortunately it also sounds like this machine has already had the OEM carb replaced with aftermarket. Any advice for finding a reasonably priced OEM (eBay not looking good)?
@@MichaelHoleman-v2h have you opened up that carburetor yet? Worth a try. Since you already have an aftermarket carb, it might not hurt to try another one
thankyou... been waiting for a full walk around on this and detailed overview. my grandmaw used to bring cookies over on one of these but she crashed it. i want to buy her one but the nursing home is saying she can’t park it there.
Hey man, thanks for the video. You're 💯 %correct. It's hard finding information on these. I have a 2011 kawasaki prairie 360 4x4. I've been looking for websites/ links of video putting on a winch. Please advise!! TY
My fourwheeler looks exactly like yours just in bad shape but I need help finding the vin number on the bike because I have no idea what year it is and I need to get a lot of parts for it
I have the same bike but an 09, I have no issues with the bike but I was curious if the same noise you get when turning the key on or off happens when you take off or slowing down to a stop? Thanks any info is appreciated.
Just bought one from an older guy who was selling his large 60 acre property and downsizing. He used this ATV to go to the mailbox before he bought his side by side. I paid $1,000 for it.
That transmission only burns belts if you play in thick mud in high range put it in low it won’t burn a belt that’s the way the old Polaris sportsman was like use low range in the mud and you can walk right through it it’s also a great trail bike these were very popular when they were around at the pumpkin run and Easter run in st Augustine these bikes were everywhere and they had big mud tires on them and it had more than enough power to turn them I would buy one of these used and I would even buy a 650 or even a 700 the prairie was a great product of Kawasaki they are easy to find on marketplace because nobody wants carberated atvs anymore but people like me that aren’t going to play in deep water will buy these bikes I will still play in mud and trail ride and even work with them you don’t have to be in deep water to play in the mud but any of the prairie bikes would suit me I do love the sound of a v twin a 650 or 700 prairie would be the best choice for me but a 360 would be good enough too any of the prairies are easy to find and cheap to get used in great condition they are great bikes I would love to own any of them
i just bought one of these in mint condition from an old farmer man locally...love it, but to me it is not very fast for the 360 size engine. I read a bunch of reviews on it that say the same thing...its a great bike just not very fast tho.
The check belt light has been on for a while on my prairie 360, and I’m starting to get worried. The only problem is I don’t know how to fix the belt. Any advise?
Dumb question but im familiar with the standard metal petcock on the carb but what position should the petcock on the 360 be in to be off i believe im flooding the bike!
I got one problem whit it that when I accelerate it doesn't take off right away it takes it a bit but takes off hard you know what may be wrong whit it ?
@@RaztechPowersports i looked & looked.i can not find it anywhere.then i noticed a hole on the right side of the carb .its missing the screw!

I found the problem.its jusr missing the dang screw.thats why i couldnt find the darn thing.hey thanks for the reply.i just ordered. Off amazon
If adjusting the cables doesn’t work Maybe order new cables. I’m about to order the rear cables now My cables are stretched over time and from heavy usage -hauling and stopping a 4x8 trailer, full of firewood out of the bush
@@RaztechPowersports you know what size or something all it gives me are just the bulb it self and i want like the whole light bulb since it looks different from other atvs
Mine did they same thing it grinded and did t gin in gear so I had to force it then boom it took off but after it worked just fine hasn’t done it since
@@pedromendia152 I would pull the clutch cover and do an inspection. Also your gear shifting linkage might be out of adjustment. Idling at a normal speed?

What year is this. I'm looking at an 03. It doesn't have speedo or anything so hard to tell how much use it has had. Cosmetics isn't the best either.
I think this was an 2007 but most of them don’t have the gauge cluster unfortunately
