I just did a search for kebc reset for kawasaki prairie and all kinds of info sites came up. Just give it a try & see what you can find

I have the 02 650 prairie the K-ebc is on the right side engine cover. The light could mean the cvt belt needs service. A few question is your quad shifting from 2wd to 4wd ok & 4wd back to 2wd, do you have squealing on take off or when climbing hills & last when going down a hill if you blip the throttle you should feel the kebc working. Their is away to reset it I just don't remember the web site I found it on I will try and find it and post it on here. I think it should be the same as my 650 as far as the reset.

Ox now that I put the new carb on and got it running right the front wheel will come off the ground in 1st,2nd & 3rd now. Thats good for a bike that will be 30 years old I didn't expect it to have the power it has being a 100. I would say to get this bike in very good condition it's going to take around 300.00 to 350.00 bucks. Thats for the missing parts that I can get skid plate, chain adjusters, brake & throttle cable, tires & side covers last is (a repaint frame & tank I think I got that part covered.lol)

Some of you may have read I traded my daughters E-Ton 90 quad for a 83 Honda xr100. I should have done more homework some parts are hard to find. I bought a new Mikuni carb now it runs good & the master link came apart on the chain. I made a parts list but it looks like it is going to grow. I was asked what I would take for my Prairie & I said 2,500 thinking the guy would walk away he said he well get back with me on it this week I should have said 3,000 then I would feel good if he were to buy it.

Is the clutch almost out all the way in 1st before it engages as with the other gears. Like Ox said it may just need an adjustment. Have you felt it not engaging over time or was it all at once?

The one I bought had the helment mount and head strap some flat & curved base mounts. I would like to get the chest harness that would give a good behind the bars view & it would not get hit by tree limbs hanging down.

Handyhiker I got your message thru email but not on the qc fourm for some reason but yes I took the carb completely apart. If I'm right the pilot screw should have a spring on it and if so it is long gone and the adjustment was fully closed I opend it 1 3/4 turns but I'm sure it wont stay without a spring. I was not thinking when I started working on the carb it's 29yrs. old. Today it had sometimes where it idle high then almost die as if it was running out of gas. By the way the plug looked like it had black soot on it. I have looked on ebay for a carb They have new carbs cheap but I'm unsure of the quality.

Had to go get a few parts for the bike so my daughter was checking out the new quads! We looked at the Raptor 250 & 700 then a Polaris 200 she said the 200 would be ok. Then she picked 1 without any adult input. Santa is to poor but the winner was the Polaris 850 with camo body It broke my heart when she said no to the BF750.

I don't know if all Wal-Marts have the GoPro camara. Last night I walked by the camars at our WM and they have the Hero Naked for 129.00 was 199.00. I think the naked doesn't have all the attachments for mounting it but 129. is a good deal.

I bought a new plug & the bike is running but still running rich I can get a new carb for less than a rebuild kit off ebay so if I can't get the carb working right i'll just replace it. Here's a few pics I put the rear fender on after the photo shoot. It was learning day!! Thanks for not disowning as a quad crazy member for posting about a bike.LOL! No kidding I checked on finding a bike fourm to see if I could get a little help & info. on the bike & for some reason people don't respond back I got 1 welcome. I think the QC is the most friendly fourm.

Whats next the cover of Rolling stone.Very cool pic with nice air !

Thanks guys I already cleaned out the tank & carb. I bought a new plug and I will put it in saturday morning if it starts then I will be taking a trip to our local dealer for new grips & brake lever. Then change the oil & air filter. What was left of the air filter fell apart I'm sure some of it had to get into the carb. I plan on getting a carb rebuild kit I think it would be a good investment.

Update now the bike wont start got spark & fuel. I did a VIN search on the bike the friend I got it from knows little to nothing about the bike. The tag on the frame is not in good condition right where it tells the XR--0. XR 0 is all you can see so by the vin it's a XR100 not XR80. Today while I look like a man training for a butt kicking contest and using the kick starter on the bike my daughter ask to ride my quad. I was ready to throw the bike down on the ground and go for a stress release ride myself but like an idiot I kept kicking it never did start didn't even come close.

Swampcat the reason for the 2 wheeler was my daughter has outgrown the E-Ton 90. With no extra money to spend. I traded for the bike. NADA on the quad was 625.00 the Honda with a little work could sell for more money. My plan is to teach my daughter to ride a bike and if she wants to ride my quad the bike is still big enough for me to ride for now. I plan on tearing it down repaint the frame and gas tank, handle bars, add a new seat cover & make sure it's running good & try and sell it for more than the quad would bring. Then put that towards another quad 250 to 400cc for Jennifer.

I have lost my mind or eye site. The bike is in need it's been awhile since I saw it last. It's not even a SL100 But I traded anyway it's a 1983 XR80 It needs a new seat cover, grips, front brake lever & a good cleaning. They said the last time it was running was December last year so I thought "O" crap & had almost a full tank of gas left in it. Well I got home took it off the trailer second kick it came to life & with my 6 foot 230 something lbs. I test rode it after a brake check and air in the tires. 1st & 2nd pulled the front wheel up and 3rd thru 5th pulls strong. It's not as nice as the quad but I'll get it looking good little at a time.

I hope it works out for me. The E-Ton gets a new home & the vintage Honda SL100 comes home with me. My daughter is pretty hyper about the trade. I feel the Honda will bring more money or at least as much as the quad.

I have super swamper vampires each lug that contacts the ground causes a shake of the bars and their bais ply. Can-am has made a big come back I remember their bikes on the race tracks when I was a kid. The cost is just to high for me to get a new quad. My truck was less then a new BF 750 and it's a 4x4 quad cab with ac/heat & power windows! LOL I just can't see spending that much money on a quad my buddy found a king quad 700 IRS 07 model for 2,800 and backed out the day he was to pick it up. That was a good deal to me the guy is moning out of state and needed to sell it.

Talking about speed my daughter was riding my prairie 650 and her sometimes friend wanted to race with her Honda 250 rincon. My daughter was smart enough not to race. I think God she listen when I said be careful and don't do anything stupid. If the friend wants to know how bad an old 650 is me and her dad can drag'em and she can watch from the sidelines.

It is fun my daughter & a couple of her friends were riding to we all had a good time. By what I have read they were the first big bore v-twin quads. I gave 1,600 for my prairie about a year & 1/2 ago it has plenty of power and climbs like a mountain goat. Soon it will need a new set of tires or at least the back tires replaced. I would like to have fuel injection & power steering. I did ride a friends 2012 BF 750i and I fell in quad love. It was alot smoother riding my friend deals in quads all the time selling & trading he told me I could change my tires and get a smoother ride. It felt like it was easier to turn and it was non p.s. I know a irs quad is going to be smoother over the bumps than my old prairie and at my age and back problems that helps.

It's a small section of woods across from our house it might be 5 to 6 acres worth due to over growth where nobody's been riding in years a good friend told me he used to ride the same trails and where were riding is less than a 1/4 of what they used to be. But it makes a pretty good place without loading them up & hauling the quads. I have a few friends that we plan on getting togather and ride on about 50 acres that one of the guys knows the owner. I have never been to Durhamtown. The closes to me is Highland park and by what I have heard it's more for bikes and they have an onsite KTM shop & sells. That might be why it's more for the 2 wheelers. As far as my quad I pray I don't have anymore trouble I had to replace the frame rebuild the front diff & most recent I got a radiator for it after many months. I had let a neighbor ride it and after he came back I could smell antifreeze. I have heard of Mike.

Dirt wheels has an add for a Redline Revolt if you have not seen or heard of this thing it's pretty cool they have a 72hp model and a turbo model with 100+ hp. single seater & they have a side by side. I checked out the videos after seening the add.

Now that I got the radiator fixed I got to spend sometime riding today. I found a new hill to climb. Now it's time to charge the Gopro and make a new video on the next day of riding. I hope others got to get out and ride this weekend.

This thread made me push my quad a little faster today 62 mph. Then my wife came out the front door & I'll leave it that. No I want I had rather seen blue lights flashing behind me now you know it wasn't good. I hope she don't take my key away.lol

I got my old prairie 650 up to 56 mph I have to backout of the throttle at that point. It starts getting unstable and starts wondering due to the tires I have. I was told it will reach 70 mph by the shop owner where I bought it. I don't have the nerve to try.

We have a mud bog near Waco, Ga that has opened and they have a atv / utv night. I hope to go watch one weekend.
