  1. I will definitely know more once I pick it up, which right now should happen weekend after next if everything goes according to plan.  The coworker that is giving this away is pretty clueless when it comes to machinery so who knows what it really is.  All I know that it no longer wants to starts, which was four years ago... since then it just sat in the garage collecting dust.

  2. Here are my two cents... on my Yahama Raptor 700R, when I bought it it has the twist throttle and I changed it to thumb very quickly.  For me if I opened the throttle it would push me back slightly in the seat which would in turn open the throttle even more... that would amplify the more I opened the throttle but this quad is also a 700cc.

    With thumb in the same situation (pushed back in the seat) it would let up on the throttle, safer for me at least.  At the same token my thumb does get tired quickly and a twist throttle is more comfortable, both have their pluses and minuses.

  3. Thank you, for the price of free I could not say no to this.  I just hope the wiring is salvageable and it won't take too much $$$ to get it going.

    Finding parts for a 99 is getting hard, Rocky Mountain ATV has some things but this will definitely be an adventure.

    Thanks.

  4. Hello all, wanted to sign up for this site as I am sure I will have lots of questions soon. One of my coworkers has given me a free Bayou 220 that does not run, I was told it needs a new wiring harness, however I cannot confirm any of that yet.

    Next weekend I am going to drive up to the place and pick it up and get some hands on but right now trying to find some service manuals so that I can trace and find out what is going on. My plan is if I can get it to run to do a full restoration and use it to putt around the trails around my house.

    I have some experience with small engines, currently have six mini bikes and a buggy with a GY6 motor that I brought back to life and I am hoping I can do that same with this. Really hoping the Bayou has good compression and it's only a electrical problem.

    In the mean time I am going to be reading this forum to learn as much as I can and hopefully find a service manual. I have attached the only pic I have of it so far.

    Thanks!
    Daniel
