2008 Kawasaki Prairie 360 4X4

2008 MODEL

Big-bore capabilities meet all-terrain performance characteristics

The Prairie® 360 4x4 increases the versatility and fun factor of the baseline Prairie 360 platform with an advanced four-wheel-drive system. This combination gives farmers, ranchers and recreational users a practical ATV that’s ready to get dirty, haul heavy loads, and explore challenging terrain.

Moving the Prairie 360 4x4 ATV along is the steadfast 362cc air-cooled, single cylinder, four-stroke engine combined with Kawasaki’s continuously variable transmission (CVT). With high and low forward gears plus reverse, the CVT enables the engine to operate in its optimal rpm range, providing the rider maximum torque regardless of speed or riding conditions.

The Prairie 360 4x4 ATV utilizes dependable shaft drive and gives the rider the added benefit of selectable four-wheel drive operation. At the flip of a switch, the Prairie 360 4x4 rider can engage all four wheels for added traction in adverse riding conditions. The Prairie 360 4x4 utilizes a limited-slip front differential, so steering remains light and precise. When maximum traction is needed, the rider can utilize Kawasaki’s Variable Front Differential Control by pulling a lever on the left handlebar to send power to both front wheels. When maximum traction is no longer needed, the rider simply releases the lever—a simple and effective system.

Stopping power for the Prairie 360 4x4 is provided by dual front disc brakes and Kawasaki’s sealed, oil-bathed, multi-disc rear brake system.

For added stopping power, the Prairie 360 4x4 features the Kawasaki Engine Brake Control, which uses engine compression to help slow the ATV under certain conditions.

The Prairie 360 rides on supple MacPherson strut front suspension with 6.7 inches of travel, while rear suspension duties are handled by a sporty, single-shock aluminum swingarm with 7.1 inches of travel. It also features a large, comfortable saddle and full-sized floor boards with adjustable footpegs for maximum comfort.

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 is standard, permitting the rider to tow 1,100 pounds—the highest towing capacity in its class.

Authentic Kawasaki Accessories are available through Kawasaki dealers.

As with all off-highway vehicle recreation, Kawasaki encourages ATV riders to ride responsibly and to respect the environment. Kawasaki will pay first-time buyers of a new Kawasaki ATV $100 for completing an ATV rider safety course conducted by the ATV Safety Institute (ASI). Interested consumers can call ASI toll-free at 800-887-2887.
