Great machine i love em'. They are the funnest utility machine you will ever ride. I personally think that they have they best 4wd system with the pull in diff, but either way, great machine. I have a 700 that is great all problems ahve been 100% my fault. P.S. "dont use a preasure warsher extremely often." But you shoiuld love the prairie, i know i do. Have a good one, and if you have any other questions about it, let me know.

Nothing major to watch out for. However, know how the CVT system works and do not abuse it - basically meaning that do not give too much gas trying to spin the wheels when you are stuck hard. The belt will burn out or shred in pieces. It's not just Kawi belt. Any CVT belt can break if abused like that. Think of CVT belt as a weakest link, like a fuse, in the drivetrain. I've seen some guys needing a new belt in less than 100 miles, and other guys with 3000+ miles on a same orginal belt.
As with most other toys or machines, if you treat them well, then they will treat you well back.

Nice ATV, I had one. The big problem was the cheap plastics ie. that thin black trim. It breaks real easy and isn't cheap to replace. It just breaks all the time. I bought a BF, a lot better!
