packardbell15, glad to see that you bite back. This is what Popular Mechanics said.

Kawasaki's Prairie 650 blows every other ATV into the puckerbushes. Why? Because it's quicker, faster, better handling, shorter stopping, more comfortable, more versatile and just plain cleverer. The heart of this 65-mph monster is a 633cc, 90° V-twin, the first V-twin in any ATV. It has every state-of-the-art feature, including single-overhead cams operating four valves per cylinder, liquid cooling, an alloy block with steel liners and a pair of Keihin CVKR 32mm carbs similar to those on Kawasaki's Ninja sportbikes. This lightweight powerhouse produces 42 hp at 6500 rpm, boasts a flat torque curve from 3000 to 8000 rpm and smoothly revs to 8500 rpm. The Prairie 650 weighs 606 pounds, giving a ratio of just 14.4 pounds per horsepower. No other four-wheel-drive ATV even comes close--even if they're foolish enough to try.

Sounds good encore!

How do you like the black and red spring combo by the way?

I believe the 31.4 was from the back tires...not motor.

red & black combo...I love it! If all I did was technical riding, I would only have the black. With the red spring, you need higher rpm to get you moving but when you get comfortable with your bike, you learn how to take off just as easy as stock. I like the red spring for the increased hp at take off. And the black spring for the way it grips the belt. Some will disagree about the red, some say it can be dangerous, for some, it may be, but not me.

sounds interesting.... I still like to wind it up till it won't go any faster, so I might be pushing it with even just the black secondary spring; heard it isn't good to be running high speed with the black (although it is still possible to hit the same speeds as before)
