Got me a little 85 kLF 185 to putt around on with the kiddos. It's in great shape. I was just going to change the oil and was wondering if there is an oil filter or anything and where to find it to replace/clean it. If anyone has a pdf download of the shop manual, that would be nice.

Also, the front left tire (facing it from the front, not riding) tilts in both vertically and horizontally a little. How do I go about re-aligning that tire up?

Thanks in advance!

Now I've been looking around and most people are saying 1/8 or 1/4 (inch?) toe in is usually recommended. I'm guessing that's the 'pitch' from the rear of the tire to the front, right?

Your ATV has the same crankcase as my klt160. The oil filter is on the bottom next to the oil drain. The drain is the smaller bolt, the filter is the bigger one. Unscrew it and clean the screen out well and reinstall. 10w40 is the recommended oil viscosity from Kawasaki.

Oh ok. On my ATC200s the screen is behind a spring under the drain cap. There isn't some other component that needs cleaning as well? A rotor filter or something? Found a portion of the owner's manual and service online. So only thing it says is oil and screen.

Thanks!

No other filters. Just the screen. My 160 is just a smaller bore to the 185. Cases are the same. I have the manual for mine and the parts interchange. As I installed a 185 cam into my bike, the rear diff is 185. But, the parts in the diff are slightly different I found outn but motor wise, the same.

Yeah the previous owner had a DPR7EA (9?) in there. Calls for D8EA or DR9EA... So I guess I'll use the 8. Also, the air filter was completely rotted. So I'll be swinging by the parts store to get another. Can you just use Bearing Grease to make the seal between the carb and the filter cage?

I would use filter specific sealing grease. You can use bearing grease, but it will degrade the filter to fast. As for the vin, I am not sure where it may be located. I would assume on one of the lower tubes of the frame by the motor but I am guessing.

yes, should be on left / drivers side, possibly by the footrest (flashlight needed as filled with dirt and guck) or right at the neck where the handlebars slide in ...

      Picked up a barn find that someone had already partially disassembled because the “motor locked up” but they never opened the case. Everything was bagged and labeled, and as I’ve mentioned before- I love a challenge ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 
       
       




      After a couple hours of fun with various pullers and hammers I managed to persuade the magneto/flywheel to come off. Hoo boy what a mess. Then I found an actual rats nest in the clutch cover. ಠ_ಠ
