Product Overview
Restore dependable engine-starting performance with this 12V electric starter motor, designed for compatible 2003–2008 Kawasaki Prairie 360 4X4 ATVs.
Featuring a 9-tooth drive gear, counterclockwise rotation, carbon brushes, and 1.09 Nm rated torque, this starter motor helps provide smooth and consistent engine cranking when the original unit becomes weak, slow, intermittent, or unable to start the engine.
The durable metal housing and wear-resistant internal components are designed for demanding trail, farm, utility, and recreational riding conditions. Its direct-replacement configuration helps simplify installation when the OEM number, drive gear, mounting dimensions, terminal position, and housing shape match the original starter.

Passt dieses Teil zu meinem spezifischen Modell und Baujahr?

Applicable models may include standard 4X4, Advantage Classic, and Hardwoods Green HD versions. Your original starter should use OEM number 21163-1328 and match the listed 12V, 9-tooth configuration and physical dimensions.
Production year alone should not be used as the only fitment reference. Confirm the complete model code and original starter number.

Before ordering, confirm:
ATV make and model
Exact production year
Complete model code, such as KVF360A or KVF360C
2WD or 4X4 configuration
OEM or interchange part number
12V operating voltage
9-tooth drive gear
Counterclockwise rotation using the same viewing convention
185 mm / 7.30 in overall length
63 mm / 2.50 in overall width
63 mm / 2.50 in overall height
