Does anyone have a digital copy of the service manual they are willing to share I’ve looked all over the place and I can find a free copy. Thanks!!!

The manual I have covers from 1986, and so this supplement is saying that most of the your bike, apart from the things mentioned in this supplement, is the same as the 1986 model service manual. It's worth noting though that this manual is not a genuine yamaha manual.. I think it's a trustworthy manual though..

Thanks you so much for your help. Unfortunately, I don’t believe that is what I need. My atv has a manual clutch and is water cooled. Unlike the one in this manual. I’ve attached a picture of the manual I am after for reference. Thanks again!!

Hmmm.. We have a problem..

Here are the parts listings for that model from Babbits and Partzilla. They both think it's an air cooled engine.

I see the 400 is watercooled..

Can't find any reference anywhere to a 300 bayou being water cooled.. Looked back and forwards several years in the parts lists, and looked at the model development..

I went out to my barn and am not sure why I was thinking it was water cooled. It’s air cooled. I bet it was confusing it with my 400. Thanks!!!

Haha.. I know what it's like. I've got two sons, and I muddle their names !
