So would it be OK to crank it up and load it. I have to take it to the dealer anyway for that recall notice about the upper front suspension arm pivot.

 

Hmmmm, after my brute smoked I didn't start it up. It will probably start and not hurt anything but I'm not 100% sure, best to push it up the ramps by hand. Or find a ditch and make it easier on yourself. If you push it up the ramps get a friend to help and push by turning the rear tires and get someone to pull on the front rack in the bed of the truck. This will make it very easy to load.

 

if you want to put that video on my site until yours is up, I could probably accomodate it.

 

I got my old host back up, they made a mistake. Never reset my usage from last month, lol. My new host is up and running, its about 10x faster, lol. Going to transfer my site over this or next week.

 

I HAD THE SAME TROUBLE WITH MINE HAD IT IN SOME WATER ABOUT 10 IN TIRES TROW IT RIGHT AT THE AIR INTAKE DROWNEDED OUT THE NEXT WEEK WHOLE RIDING I BLEW UP 3 MONTHS TO FIX COMP REBUILD OVER 4000 IN PARTS THE MECHANIC AT KAWASAKI SAID BAD CRANK BEARINGS

 

THEY REBUILT IT WRONG THERE IS NO WAY YOU BEET HIM I HAVE BOTH MACHINES THE ONLY WAY IS IF HE HAS A PLUG WIRE OFF

 

... I always did have more faith in the Prairies

 

When my friend had his engine rebuilt thery got the timing off by one tooth and he lost all his power, he took it back and they fixed it up. He went on a weekend ride and broke down again (blew a belt), he so upset he traded for brand ne 650 Rincon.

Man. my BF has had the same problems with the stupid air intake at the rear and the airbox filling with water. The 1st time I took the bike out I had been going through water thatw as about 2 feet deep, when I cam up on a hill and decenedd down it, my airbox filled with water, consequently filling my carbs and engine with water and filling my crankcase with water because the carnkcase breather tube goes up and into the airbox...where all the water ended up. terrible design! I actually prfeer almost everfything on my wife's 2004 Prairie 700 and wish I had not bought the BF

 

My dealer just finished my BF. I had the same problem, they had it for about 3 weeks. They said that Kawasaki did cover it. I ask them if they put a snorkel on it and he said they haven't came out with one yet for the BF. I wasn't in that much water either but if you turn your wheel it will shoot water right up to the intake no protection. I'm not sure what all they had to do haven't picked it up yet just called them.
