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.

FAQ sur l'ajustement
Cette pièce conviendra-t-elle à mon modèle et à mon année spécifiques ?
This starter motor is designed primarily for compatible 2003–2008 Kawasaki Prairie 360 4X4 models in the KVF360A and applicable KVF360C model families.
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.
Dois-je correspondre au numéro de pièce OEM ?

This starter motor replaces:

Your original starter does not need to display every number listed above. At least one compatible OEM or cross-reference number should match your original unit or the vehicle’s parts catalog.

À quels modèles ou situations cette pièce ne convient-elle pas ?
This starter motor is not intended for:
2009 or later Prairie 360 models using OEM 21163-0047
Kawasaki Prairie 300, Prairie 400, Prairie 650, or Prairie 700 models

Que dois-je vérifier avant de commander ?
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
