When you compare it to the kfx700 in your sig it should be slow. Its an ignorant comparison.

The p360 is a good machine with good power for its class. Ride it along side other 350 class utility quads and it performs very well, especially with the diff lock.

I have a 360 for my daughter. When I ride it I think it’s a dog. What surprises me is she does a very good job of keeping up when we trail ride. She’s just as fast if not faster then some of the guy’s we ride with, and they are on bigger machines.

open mouth--insert foot

Although I have livened mine up a little bit(mostly due to black spring and flywheel key) I have always kept up with the group when trail riding--ALWAYS--just get a little blown away sometime when street riding to and from the trailhead.--Never at a loss for low end either, although I aint pulling wheelies---I think I just like to cry on this forum to get some solace for not buying something bigger--my original intention was to buy a used polaris 500 the day i bought my 360---I wonder ??????????????????

slow compared to what? I love this argument with the 360, never seams to die. Since kawi makes the 650's & 700's I guess it's suppose to keep up with them, damn worthless 360 what was kawi thinking when they designed it, dont they know it's suppose to keep up with there bigger machines [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

Fact is the 360 is not the fastes of the 400 class, but certainly is not the slowest. I find it to be in the middle of the road. Infact i can stay with my buddie's 450 foreman, do you ever hear anyone complain the 450 foreman is slow? I dont.. If you bought a 360 then expect 360cc power, plain & simple

Well said Uinthas--But if I dont cry here---nobody else will listen---
Question for you---I went to dealer to pick up my main jet--I ordered a 153 after I thought you told me stock was a 156? The jet the dealer gave me is marked 152.5----My main which has a smaller hole than the dealer supplied jet is not marked with a jet size---cant remember exact marking on it and cant look right now cause I am at work being productive---but I think it was marked with a K-9 or something to that nature. I did not install the new main because the hole was definitely bigger. I am presently planning on taking dial a jet off and doing a little experimenting with the jets---Can you confirm stock 360 main jet size? And why are you using a 150 Main??

Yeah I love this one too. We have a p700 and a p360 and my wife has no problems keeping up as most of the time as speed is limited by the terrain we ride. Sure on the open parts I can smoke the 360 and it is fun but in the tough stuff they are equal speed wise and its the riders skill that matters.

Stock is #155, I have been using #150 because of the elevations I'm riding (4500 - 11,000) Just last night I was dinking around with it & am trying to find out if I'm to lean, threw a brand new plug in, took it up the street, shut it off & took the plug out, looked kind of yellowish, so I dunno.. Kawi recomends a #145 for my elevation, but I think that is way to lean. One of the local dealer says that even at my elevation it runs best with the stock #155 but my plug is always black with it.. You might wana tinker with jetting, I just think you being in PA that going leaner might not be good, I definetly dont see any power gains except when I'm above 8000ft, I dont loose the power that I did with the stock set up..

I'm considering putting in a pink primary spring & see if that helps the 360 at all, you messed around with springs much?? I have tried the red primary & hate it, but the pink's engagement is close to stock, & might pull a bid stronger through the powerband, dont know all the talk on the pink has been on the V or the 650, 700 so looks like someone needs to give it a shot on the 360.. I might order one up

I'm putting a red primary and secondary in our 360 tonight since that is what EPI recommends. The pink has my intrest as well since it should engage around the stock rpm but should wind the machine up quicker.
