Default Bought a 2004 Kawi Prairie 360 4x4...any tips?

hey everyone
Not very familiar with my new Prairie but seems to be a great little ride. I bought it off an older gentleman that bought it brand new and rode it very little. It still has the original tires on it and prolly 75% tread left on them. Anyways it was sitting for a while and needed a new battery and had to burn the rest of the dead fuel out of it. Also cleaned the air filter I am going to change the oil and differential oil on it also. Anything else that i need to check on it and maybe change out on it before i take off on a trip?

welcome to the forums!

might want to clean the carb, but other than that should be good to go!

Add some Seafoam fuel system cleaner to the gas; this will help clean the carb. Seafoam is available at Wal-Mrt and auto parts dealers.

Check owners manual for differential fluid recommendation. I'm not sure but I think it may require special hydraulic fluid.

The rear gear case requires wet brake compatible gear oil.

One of the best things I bought with my 360 was a shop manual. It will give you the correct answers and eliminate the clutter you find here and other sites. Most of the people that post answers are right on target but the few bad answers can cause a lot of grief.

thanks guys for all your input. I changed the diff oils in the front (reg engine oil) and the rear (special wet brake oil) diff oil, engine oil and filter, cleaned the air filter, and checked all moving parts. I also ordered a new uni filter to put on as well. Thanks for all your input and everything seems to be in running order. Think I may have bought a pretty good machine
