kawasaki bayou 300

[mud runner]

one of my buddies has 2 bayou 300s he wants out of the way he said one of them doesent run and the other needs a valve jod he said i could have them FOR FREE and i was wondering if it would be worth my time to fix them up

 

[JonS]

hell for free go and get them. fix 'em or part 'em out. you'll be in the black either way. i hear they are good quads though when taken care of.

Are they 4x2 bayou's? If so, they have crappy drum brakes and single plane front suspension. AWESOME beater quads but not worth a ton of cash or terribly useful.

If they're 4x4's however, they have the same brakes as the prairie 700's (dual piston caliper front brakes that will practically do an endo), full time 4wd, a high/low output box on top of the 5 speed gearbox, and a practically bulletproof air/oil cooled 300cc kawasaki engine. The 4x4's are really tanks with seats on top....

We own a 1991 Kawaksaki Bayou 4x4. Fun quad to ride!! I would get it!!

 

[mud runner]

well if every thing goes well and we get the truck back from the mechanic i think were gonna get it this weekend

They're great for creek and trail rides. They've got decent power (for a 300cc air/oil cooled 4 stroke) and a good gearbox under them. The front brakes are basically the same as the blaster front drum brakes, any mud or water and you'll be pulling them apart to regrease and adjust.

 

[mud runner]

well i dont even have front brakes on my blaster

My buddy has one and that thing lives on the rev limiter through mudholes....takes it everywhere....its very impressive what he puts it through and the places it can go!!! I say go for it and beat the piss outta it....

I had one a long time ago. I believe it was shaft driven. I too put that bike through hell for a couple years and then sold it. Still ran like a champ. The only thing I ever did was change the oil!

 

[mud runner]

soon as my dads truck gets back from the shop or get my moms tahoe when shes not useing it were gonna go and get them

 

[Wifesblaster]

Yeah man! I wouldn't turn that down!!

 

[mud runner]

i was not going to turn down a free atv

 

[Wifesblaster]
