    So I have a bayou 300 4x4 that I bought for cheap while it was not running. I cleaned and rebuilt the carb, fixed some wiring and it fired right up and ran perfect. Rode it around and came back the next day to it not running. I found that the flywheel had somehow sheered the key on the...

    I recently purchased our first ATV for our new farm. Our 1989 Bayou ran perfectly until the choke cable snapped. We ordered a new one online and tried to install it and did not fit the lever housing. Do you guys know where I can purchase a cable that will actually fit along with the lever? If...

    I've been looking to do a top end rebuild for my bayou 250 and all the cylinders go for crazy prices and there are very few for sale. The cheapest on I found was 200 bucks used and it had quite some wear to it. Would a bayou 300 cylinder fit on the 250? Or if you know where I can buy a new...

    Just was given a '92 Bayou 300. Previous owner took care of it very well but it had sat for a couple years. New battery, bled brakes, etc. Fired right up and no issues getting it on the truck. Got it home. Running it around the farm a bit and it kept stalling from 2nd to 3rd. Didn't have time...

    Yo I have an old Kawasaki 300 that has decided it doesn't want to run. It only produces a spark when the starter motor disengages and sometimes when it engages. Sometimes it produces no spark at all. I have checked all the connections and any ugly bits of wire I can find for shorts but I can't...
  9. Kawasaki Brute Force/Prairie/Bayou
    I think I found out why my kill switch and electric start button dont work.. I unhooked the battery from ground and touched the brown wire (supplying power to the light switch, kill switch & electric start) and the negative cable at the battery (but not connected to the battery for testing...

    HOW TO: Check Your Starter Circuit Relay! I had to figure some things out by myself, because I wasn't getting much help with any of my electrical problems, I finally found out that I had a bad Starter Relay (solenoid), but in the process of discovering that, I thought up a way of testing the...

    I got a used 1995 Kawasaki Bayou 300 and it is having some problems, first thing is it didn't start at all, had the original Carb with it, but with parts missing, someone put a mikuni carb on it and is smaller than the original carb.

    To start I've been a fan of the forum for reference when I'm doing work on my four wheeler, first time writing something though. I have a 1987 Bayou KLF 300 that I've been having some battery recharging issues with. Used a test light and figured out it wasn't a short so I hooked up a voltage...

    I have a 96 Bayou 300 KLF and it has sat for several years without running because we got some new polaris quads. :) Well when i put gas in it it leaks eventually out of the airbox for some reason! Took the seat off and turns out gas is running down from the carb into the airfilter then into the...

    I just bought a 95 bayou 300 the other day and the previous owner told me that the rear bearings need to be replaced, well I didnt think to inspect it but when going to work on the atv... you can take the right rear axle right out without loosening a bolt. Any ideas of what could cause this...
