Product Overview

Restore dependable engine-starting performance with this 12V electric starter motor, designed for compatible 2003–2008 Kawasaki Prairie 360 4X4 ATVs.

Its direct-replacement configuration helps simplify installation when the OEM number, drive gear, mounting dimensions, terminal position, and housing shape match the original starter.
