Hi all...

I have a 2003 kawasaki praire 360 4x4

heres what happened... I was letting a friend ride (Stupid stupid me)

He went full speed over an ice patch, slide sideways and right rear tire jammed a tree.

the housing that holds up the single rear shock was damage and fell off the mounts, therefore the drive shaft fell off too..

now the rear brake is all a mess cause the rear diff is just dangling off the shock absorber...

anyway Im wondering how much the dealer would get for this... just a really rough idea... so i can decide weather or not i want to sell my friend the bike or get it to the dealer and make him pay for it..

i just hate fixing something that has been hurt this bad because I have a feeling other parts of the machine were stressed.

Thanks! Ken

 

Hows the frame on it? My old p650 hit a tree around 35 and it got tweaked pretty bad.

 

my brother is just replacing the swingarm, bearings, seals , parts came to like 600$, double the price for a dealer's labor, if the wetbrake is no good or the shock, your looking at a pretty penny, i would say sell.sorry this is for a prairie 650 though, but i think some of the components are the same.

 

Frame looks fine at a glance...

I assume if the housing broke then the frame didnt get much stress (or so i hope)

Well regardless this is annoying and im not going to do it myself so i guess im looking at over 1K

damn... for that i should try to get my friend to buy the bike off me...

well i learned a valuble lesson anyway... dont let friends use my stuff even if they are going to pay for it... its still a hassle!!

Maybe your friend will buy you a replacement 360 and take the wreck to rebuild for himself. Who knows, he may even let you borrow it after he gets it fixed up! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

yeah tencubed thats what i am hoping for... the dealer is not open till thursday so i will contact my friend tonight or tomarrow night and let him think about buying the atv...

actually ill email him...

Hey what extras do u have on your 360?

Nothing outstanding in the way of extra stuff, I modified the lower A-arms to beef them up for using the plow, extended the rear hitch to make the mower trail better, added a winch, rear cargo box, couple of electrical outlets for front and rear mounted sprayers, some fender bags and a home made rack to carry a Hy-lift and fence repair stuff. I put some insulation on the bottom of the fuel tank to prevent vapor lock and shoved a 12 gauge shell over the throttle as an extender. My quad is used mostly for work around the farm but it's also a lot of fun to run around on.

One of the best things I have done is add a two way valve and fittings to allow hooking a boat tank into the fuel system for more range. Simple to do and a good way to carry extra fuel and keep it clean. Another really handy thing is the little Honda eI-2000 generator. It, a sawsall, drill and electric nail gun and I'm a fence fixin machine.

I am going to order a set of heated grips and handlebar mittens as well as a windshield from Cabela's this week. Too dang cold on these old bones when it gets down in the teens.
