How reliable is kawasaki. Im talking in the long run. Is it any where nere as reliable like honda for say. Also what are the top speeds for the 300, 360, and 400 prairies. THanks

 

I think 24000 on a 98 KVF400 is pretty good[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] as for top speed the 99 and newer are faster but I could hold 90km/hr with mine and it was modded. The 300 is the the same bike but slower. the 360 should stand up quite well. the 400 and 300 are now replaced with the 360.

 

99km/hr is 61.5mph.

My stock 400 did 55. It does not go that fast now with bigger tires. The P300 and P400 have a reputation for being more reliable than Hondas, according to some people. But they are full time 4x4 and that can stink sometimes.

Kawasaki in general is as reliable as a honda. The engines and gearboxes are second to none.

A belt drive quad requires more maintenance. But it is easy maintenance. Belted quads drive much nicer. For these two reasons I prefer belt driven quads. Belts never leave you stranded, unless you drive them into the ground. But if you adjust them tight, and never drive them loose they are as reliable as anything else.

 

my 300 does about 40-42 due to the bigger tires, have got over 3000 miles on mine and going strong, had to replace belt once. i wouldnt own anything but a kawasaki.

 

Nyroc, good to see you posting again. Your information has been a great deal of help to me and I am sure all of us who own Kawasaki ATVs'.

 

If I was Kawi I would have left the 400 on the floor. It is still on my list of best.... I guess that's why they stopped making em LOL I'm interested on the new Kawi 500 I hear comming.
