New to the group, and to the ATV world of ownership in general. I've owned a 610 Mule for a couple of years, and just picked up an 01 Kawasaki Bayou 300 4X4. I have 37 acres of woods which a lot of it the Mule is too wide for, so that's why I got the Bayou. I've been turning wrenches for nearly 50 years, but I'm needing a learning curve on the quad. What I have learned so far is that working space is tight, be ready for dirt falling in your face, parts are expensive, and plastics are a bitch if you don't know the tricks! Are their tricks to plastics??? :-)

 

Welcome to the forums.

Every different brand I had, each had it's own secret handshake when taking the plastic off. Once you finally do it, at least you're ready for the next time.

Had a new and different model Kawasaki. They liked to use clips on some of the plastic. 50/50 chance of those breaking just trying to pop them out.

 

Welcome.

 

Luckily I didn't have to take it apart again. Running like a top!!
