RECALL:STEERING KNUCKLE PRAIRIES, BRUTES
Hi Guys
I just Did my 2004 700 Prairie , my best friend owns a Kawi dealership , His tech are good but I still like to tinker and my quad has a lot of custom and aftermarket parts . Taking my time it took me about 5 hours ...My quad looks like new and only has 12hrs on it ... one of those knuckle's was ovaled really bad ... the new design has the balljoint in the allumium part of the knuckle and the stud gose into the lower control arm .... A much better design .
For all you guys with skid plates and arm plates ... the new lower arm is different , seems more beefier ... but your aluminum arm plates will need some redrilling .
The dealers are going charge to remove any aftermarket parts if it slows down the techs ...
Kawasaki really left no extra time for these guys to make any money on ... I think there paying 1.75 to do that job ... you have to hussle .
Later guys
