Kawasaki Bayou KLF 300 4x4
i paid 700 cash for the atv. Doesn't look like the owner was the water type nor mud just speed. I was wondering about any mods i can do. I have found just about every part on ebay. Was wonder on a few things below.
How to find the real yr. Am thinking 95 with the decals.
Somethings in 3 it comes out of gear "clutch issues"?
High Range and Low range work.
I want to run a aftermarket rim and tire combo.
Would like to add a snorkle just best to make my own?
Exhaust, carb jet?
Any way to gain low end and power and be able to go anywhere it can. any input is helpful.

I have changed the rims and tires out with 12" "i think 12 stock though" with GBC tires. I found a High Low box for cheap guess I will buy it now.
Also I took her on a muddy trail to test out 4 wheel drive. I think I might need a auto clutch? Seem to be over torqueing and not putting power to the wheels.
Found out at one point and time someone had a snorkel kit hooked up. So all my vent lines are ran and also the air box was done they run it up though front.
Oil cooler would be NICE. I also order some nice rims and tires since my old gbc seen better days. I have kenda bear claws on my 250 quad they are awesome. But wanted to try maybe a 27x12-12 all around? Use a Kenda Executioner or Silver Backs. For 700 bucks and she dont smoke and high low works great. Am happy I didnt get stuck one time and I was on a power line trail.
Like a 2" lift on it. Any links would be helpful and tips on to find out what yr.

Sorry I can't help with more. Mine were mainly used on the farm and snowblade. Oil cooler was done because most work with it was in the summer. Oh, two other things I remembered was I put the extra fender skirts on that were offered with the Bayou 400, didn't get much mud on me after that. And they offered a heavy duty springs option that I put on the front (mainly for the snow work) but that doesn't sound like something you'd need. I guess you are finding out how many parts are still available it sounds like. I would think Kawasaki would still have the oil cooler available. You should also check the reverse release cable as sometimes it got hard to get it into reverse when doing a lot of back and forth stuff (mainly when pushing snow). I don't think it's meant to have the same size tires all around but for what you are doing maybe it won't matter. Did you get rims and tires from GBC? I like the looks of their tires (prices seem good too) and have their Dirt Devil tread on my front now.

I never half do something when I do it so I will hunt parts and learn. With the model its pretty common just happen I found someone parting one. He blew the motor up the high low gear box looks great no chips in the gears. So for 50 bucks I will pay it and store it.
Rims are aftermarket 12" Motosport hope they will be in before my bday. I have gbc gators on can am rims. Someone had them and didnt want them here a picture of those.
New rims, and tires new paint job, snorkle kit, exhaust upgrade, recarb the jet, maybe bore the motor over some and check on this 1"/2" tran shim and 2" lift kit. Will spend more on goodies for it than I paid but got to pay to play.
