Default Bigger Tires on my 360 Prairie?

I currently ride with 25" gator's. I love the way they get me around but I was considering going larger. I have read some other postings about changing the clutch package if you go bigger? Can I go to 26" tires without hurting anything and having to change my clutch. Or, if I do have to change the clutch how big can I go without hurting anything else?

I have read that if you go any bigger than 26" tires you will want to get a clutch kit. Not sure how true this is for the Prairie 360 though. You might want to do a search of the Kawi forum, might find the answer you are looking for. Hope this helps

if you go to 26's
depending on the type of tire
at most you would just have to put a black secondary in
which isnt that hard
just need to make a tool
i have 27's on my bike with wheel spacers and no lift
the rub a lil when i hit a hard bump in a turn
but not that big a deal

I have been doing a little research on the clutch issue and the information I seem to be getting back from distributers and riders alike is that the clutch package complete (approx $75.00) actually adds life to your overall clutch and belt life because the drive drums have more tention on them. This in turn cannot allow the belt to slip and haze as much and cause the drums to ware out as fast as the stock springs allow it to.

I believe that I will replace the entire clutch package verses the secondary black spring only. I see more benifit for a few dollars more. I have also been told that the performance will increase tremendosly on take off's and adds benifits for getting thru the mud.

A good dealer will not try to sell you anything larger than a 27" tire even with the clutch kit and lift installed. They claim it's still too much for the 360 to handle.

Hope this helps I'll let you know how it works for me later, after installation and testing.
