I would like to hear all the pros and cons of the Praire 700. I'm looking at purchasing a new ATV and would like to hear what's good and what's bad.

 

PROS: 700 ccs of power, 4 wheel drive, digital instroment panel, high and low shifting

CONS: Belt Driven (sux when you play submarine), no differentile lock, no drain plug on belt cover


THis is one awsome machine

 

No diff lock like other ATVs that lock all four wheels and give true 4 wheel drive? Wow. Glad I found that out. That kinda sux. Who was the genius at Kawasaki that made that decision? Such a glaring fault for what sounds like an otherwise great atv.

 

the p700 does have a diff lock, you pull back the yellow lever to lock it.

 

Seen one in action?

 

The new 700 will be one wicked machine. I"ve had my p650 up over the seat in water and have never had any problems. The 700 will be the fastest and most sporty utility out there, while still having good offroad and utility abilities. You will give up a bit of comfort to the IRS machines, but who cares, you'll think of how comfy they are as you blow by them [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] It's proven itself to be a very reliable engine so far, being based on the p650. It does in fact have a diff lock, the yellow lever. In fact probably the best diff locker out there, you can pull it to varying degrees, and it really works. Boy with that thing squeezed dont think about turning!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

LOL....

 

I will tell you the Prairie 700 rocks. This thing can break the tires loose at will, pop wheelies and go more than 65mph. In low range it is a tank the torque is unreal. The locker is easy to use and one of the toughest out there. Can pull 1200 plus pounds or slide around like a sport quad. Never even think about it not having the IRS it is too much fun to slide and do donuts on. I don't think anything else out there rightnow is even close.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

IRS slides & donuts just fine...

 

CONS:

no IRS

ugly
