Does anyone have any experience the new 04 Prairie 360s?
I'm strongly considering buying one for my wife.

Good Machine---needs carb work to realize full potential--but seems to have plenty of power stock to go anywhere---all things considered--bike will never be fast (top speed on a downhill 48 mph) going up a long hill on blacktop bike slows down to about 30-35 mph but hangs there. Not a race machine but I like mine.

 

Mooseman,

I bought a 360 for my wife and she won't ride it because our 700 seems to be easier for her to drive. She also like having more power then what the 360 can offer. By no means does my wife ever use or need what the 700 offers for power but she preferes the larger machine. So when we go riding I drive the 360 and she follows on the 700.

For the extra cost I would go for a 700 or a Bombardier outlander 330 or 400 with a three warrenty. I can't fix anything if my life depended on it, and I don't like the actuators. One nerver knows if these little beasts are going to act up. No pun intended!

The KVF360 is ok machine but I can only get 72km top speed but I still have a blast beating it up.

Good luck

 

Come and buy a used Praire in Brandon at Transcanada Motorsports. Closer in price and you get the power and a backup machine.

 

The 360 is a great machine but like what has been said it is no power house. Ours has gone everwhere the p700 goes just doesn't have the performance fun factor while doing it. For my wife it is a great machine but she wouldn't mind more power. Now if they made a prairie around a 500cc that would be awesome!

 

Hey Mikerhyne

increase the fun factor---I'm telling you it is all in the carb---shim the needle and drill the slide vacuum hole---I can rooster tail so easy now and pickup was improved alot--"ALL FREE MODS""" DO IT!!

 

Moses.

Is it possiable to buy a larger carb for the 360 rather then your proposed drilling?

 

"Hay" thanks for the info ya'll. I speak american too haha. Anyway the P-700 is out-of-the-question my wife she's totally is freaked out by the power and refuses to drive it on an extended basis. Which is ok as I like the 700! Anyway the 360 seems to fit the bill for her, she tried one at a local dealer and seems sold on it. I should include a caviate claus, NO TRADING QUADS. She will have to keep her P-360 no matter what!
BBertram your right, it will be a good backup too!

OleManMoses at 6000 to 13000 feet geting enough gas is not the problem - its not getting enough air to burn the gas. I have been wathing your posts though - keep up the work!

 

hi Mooseman I ride all the time with a buddy who has the 360. He rides it hard and it has held up reasonably well. THE one thing you should insist on is that they include the three year extended warranty in the deal. I have two buddies who have this quad from the same dealer. One asked for the warranty and got it. The other guy didn't push for the warranty and they did not include it. Mudmonkey72 ( on this forum ) has saved a lot of $ due to his warranty.
