I recently purchases a 1985 Kawasaki Bayou 185. The the quad is in great shape and runs well but it is stuck in first gear. If i push the shifter all the way down(what would normally be beyond its range of motion) it will stay in neutral, if I lift the shifter up(well beyond its normal range) it will stay and run in first gear. I am fairly mechanical but have never torn in to a transmission. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Drew

      I’m looking for any member that may be familiar with the neutral safety switch on this bike.   
      I picked up a bayou 220 that I found sitting in a shed. Nice looking bike the guy said it would not start one day and put it away and never touched it again.  
      So it turns out the neutral safety switch is bad.  I jumped it out and the bike fired up and runs good.  
      I’m more then capable of the work in changing it but this thing is buried pretty good. I’m curious if anyone has done the switch replacement before? 
      I attached some pics to see.
      picture 1 is the side view you can see the green and red wires going into the cover. 
      Pic 2 shows looking down on the drive shaft coming out of that cover.  That is not a simple cover you just pull off. 
      Im wondering how deep and how much sh** has to come off like the drive shaft etc for this switch  to be replaced. 
      So if any of the QC members have done this switch I’m looking for any input with regard to changing it.  
      Thanks.

      I recently was gifted a 1998 Lakota 300 and it was modified to start only by electric start. ( Removed the pull start) So I put together all the parts he was able to find and I believe it's back together like it's supposed to be but when I start it via electric start, it turns over but I do not hear the sound a proper combustion sound makes. Furthermore, I did all the spark tests and it's showing none whatsoever. 
       I installed a new starter and I believe I installed it correctly. Could I have accidentally thrown the timing off? I lined up the timing marks but the top mark will NOT line up correctly.

      I believe the Kawasaki is either an '03 or '04. Green automatic with shifter on the right side. Rear differential was bad, so I replaced it with another. The 4 wheeler rolled in neutral when I parked it in the shop to work on. Took old diff off and replaced it with another one. The diff I put on, turned before I put it on the bike. Once I put it on the bike, the rear end wouldn't move at all. It's like it's stuck in gear. Bike is still in neutral. I've tried rocking the bike while trying to put it in high, won't budge. Can anyone tell me of something to check or try? I haven't opened up the transmission case yet to see what's going on. What should I be looking for?

      You guys are my last resort. Got a 2000 prairie 300. Brand new battery, neutral switch, aftermarket carb, spark plug, silenoid, key switch. Fuses are good. No neutral green light, will crank if cross the silenoid, but won’t start. No power at the ignition switch or regulator. I’m thinking cdi box or starter relay. Anyone have any suggestions?
