Hello!

[Richard Western]

Hi folks,

New member here and new to the world of quad bikes. I have recently picked up 2 machines as projects to tinker with, a Kawasaki KLF300C 4x4 and a KLF300B 2WD.

I am sure I will learn a lot for the forum 🙂

Thanks!

Welcome to Quadcrazy! Those are some nice bikes you picked up.  What kind of shape are they in ? Post some pics, and any help or questions please ask away.  

You will love and enjoy this forum.  We have a lot of knowledgeable members here.

Thank you for the welcome!

Both bikes are on the rough side, the 4x4 had been sat outside for a very long time, lots of surface rust and flaking powder coat, dry rotted tyres etc but it really hasn't been hacked about. 

I cleaned and rebuilt the carb, went through all electrical connections and cleaned them, put a new fuel petcock on the tank, new oil and filter, new spark plug chucked a battery on it and it fired right up. I need to go through the brakes next.

I haven't spent much time on the 4x2 as I have only had it a couple of days. It is missing a few key parts like the fuel tank, gear selection pedal, cam cover etc.

I will try and post some pics in the next few days.

Thanks again!

Hi guys,

Here are the bikes as I received them, sorry it took a while to post back with the photos.

Wow they are in some rough shape!  You may be better off combining both and making one solid bike.   The green on is that a 300? I had the 400 in that model and it was a beast.  

[Richard Western]

Yes, they have certainly been neglected but it makes for a fun project 😁

Correct it is a 300, I hope to have it in riding condition in the near future so wish me luck with that!

Good luck and I’m sure you will have it up and running in no time.  Any questions you might have ask away.  There are a bunch of members here to help you along with the engine, drivetrain as well as making it look good with paint, vinyl etc.

Thank you Frank, much appreciated!
