Engine
* Newly designed, liquid-cooled, 633cc, SOHC, 4-valve V-twin engine churns out massive torque.
* Offsetting the cylinders by 90° results in perfect primary balance for low vibration levels and comfortable riding.
* Dual CVKR-D32 downdraft carburetors deliver smooth throttle response and efficient fuel consumption.
* Kawasaki Engine Brake Control uses a speed sensor to maximize the engine’s slowing power when descending hills.
* The Prairie 650 comes equipped with both an electric starter and a recoil starter.
* The air box is located high, and between the cylinders, and uses a snorkel air intake to minimize the ingress of water and dirt.
* Selectable two-wheel/four-wheel drive system allows easy switching to suit changing terrain and applications.
* KAPS (Kawasaki Automatic Power-Drive System) is fully automatic with High and Low ranges for trail riding or heavy operation, and reverse.
* Rider-actuated variable front differential control maximizes power to both front wheels. Lever operation allows rider to adjust the amount of torque to suit conditions.
* An air intake passage located high near the handlebars routes cool, dry air to the KAPS transmission.
* Dry weight is 606 pounds–a weight competitive with many current 400cc sport utility ATVs.
* Highly rigid and lightweight aluminum swingarm features a sealed rear braking system using multiple plates sealed in an oil bath–the first ever on an ATV. The monoshock rear suspension features a reservoir-equipped shock for consistent damping characteristics. Designed for infinitely adjustable preload for varying loads and rider weight, it also comes with a dual-rate spring and delivers 7.2 inches of wheel travel.
* Dual-piston front brake calipers are a first for an ATV and deliver powerful, progressive braking.
* The sealed, internal wet rear brake is completely shielded from mud, water and dirt. Its compact design also affords increased ground clearance.
* MacPherson strut front suspension gives seven inches of wheel travel and enhances the wheels’ ground-following ability for a smooth ride.
* High-traction tires are fitted: AT 25 x 8-12 fronts and AT 25 x 10-12 rears.
* The fuel tank is centrally located beneath the rear fenders for a lower center of gravity and includes an in-tank fuel pump.
* The engine can be started in any gear if the brake is applied.
* Convenient front and rear cargo racks can hold 88 pounds up front and 177 pounds on the rear.
* Redesigned floorboards feature adjustable foot pegs for good grip.
* 90 watt halogen multi-reflector headlights throw plenty of light for late nights on the job.
* Multi-purpose, digital instrumentation includes speedometer, odometer, dual tripmeters, clock, hour meter, and fuel gauge.
* Convenient 12V accessory outlets are provided at the front and rear of the ATV.
* Space to fit a winch is available inside the front guard. The sturdy frame can handle a 2,000-lb class winch.
