I was given 2 Kawasaki Bayou's, model KLF 185 A. I need to order parts, but I can't find what year they are. Is there a place on the quad I can find it?

 

Find the VIN number. Its the 10th digit. ABCDEFGHJKLMNPRSTVWXY is the yr where A is 1980. There is no IOQUZ. 2001 is 1. 2009 will be 9. No clue what 2010 will be.

 

Randy,

I really appreciate your help in finding the year. Thanks for taking the time to help me. Can you recommend an online supplier for quality parts at a decent price?

My in-laws bought the quads new around '85-'87. They havent been rode hard at all, and they look in excellent shape. The only problem is, they have been sitting for the last 10 to 15 years. I want to get them going and just putt-around with my boys.

If I run into a snag, do you mind if I send you an email if I need to ask you a question? If you're busy, I completley understand.

By the way, I love the modification with the plow. I thought I was the only one crazy enough to do stuff like that!

Best regards,

Bill

and ebay are good places for parts.

I'll send you a pm with my email. The plow is the least of some of my redneck engineering projects.... You should see the backhoe I'm building now. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
