It doesn’t kick in when you are backing off at speed like some of the other big bores – it kicks in below 5 MPH which is where you really need it on steep declines. The Prairie 650 makes a fun rock crawler and the locking front differential works well when you need that extra traction.
Is the Kawasaki 650 twin an IFS suspension?
No, it does not have an IFS suspension in the rear, but it rides VERY nicely and I prefer it over the independent suspension many of its competitors have. With 43hp at the crank and 38.8ft lbs of torque at 4,000 rpm, the 650 twin gets up and moves! It provides plenty of acceleration to get it moving and seems to have power anytime you need it.
