Extreme Conditions - Auta a dopravní prostředky
had a couple, slow,never changed over 20 years. but they went through hell ,underwater jumps. i feel bad for it some times. still put 1000 miles a year in all Wisconsin weather. this thing will never die!
best atv I ever had since I was a kid, I was really sad when my dad had sold it, had too many great memories on that bayou 250
I have never owned a more reliable machine than my '98 bayou. I still use it sever times a week, and it has never let me down. Very underrated machine.
These are one of the best bikes I have ever had. Has started every time first pull even in 40 below here in south dakota
i have this machine. couldn't ask for a tougher or more reliable piece of equipment. what we do with atv's, comfort is a very small factor. you would have to have been the atv itself to understand what i have put it through . and it still fires right up on cold mornings, and never skips a beat! i think i damaged the driveline clutch pretty bad the other day, though. that would have been operator error if i did. my friends have a lot of different wheelers, and by a landslide mine is the toughest, because of it's outdated simplicity and zero bugs there is nothing you can do to kill it other than run it without oil. i have wreaked it several times, and drove it home each time, exept for the last time, about 3 weeks ago. and the 2 reasons i didn't drive it home were: i wreaked it by accident because it was out of fuel
the tire fell off of the rim
overall this machine would be the best buy if you are asking for longevity and ruggedness under proper mantanance and extreme conditions. in fact, kawasaki failed to continue the bayou 250 because people stopped buying it, because it was so tough!
this bike will last AGES
Thats the good thing about these machines.....nothing really complicated, so there's nothing to go wrong. The same holds true for the older Yamaha yfm 200 us.
Bayou's are probably one of the best ATV's kawasaki has ever made when it comes to sheer reliability...
I had a bayou 300 4X4 , I found the suspension very good for comfort far better than Honda trx 300 ,350 Yamaha and even KQ 300 of the day. Also it was full time 4x4 I got a engineer he made up a collar/gear mechanism on the out put shaft so I could disengage 4X4 that made a big diff as I went on road alot
@MidoEwida I think we have a Timberwolf test. Go to our website and look. All our videos are way better categorized there.
@bobiscool308 you can start both of them in gear by pull starting it but for electric start you need to be in neutral for both
Yes indeed.
I love my bayou I've only had it bout a year now but it's a great quad everything they said in this video is 100% true about the bayou the ups and downs but Its still a great machine
That whole point from 4:25 is purely opinion anyway, there is no way to measure how much a heart soars... Let the kid think his is the best in the world, its only an opinion. Besides, the Kaw is just as good as anything else in the price range.
i like my bayou its a tough little P.O.S.
but the front end is crap the shocks are to small and the single a arms suck (which make it a little more easy to flip it)
ive fliped mine end over end and it landed still running though its cheap and could use some upgradeing it will probably last longer than the ozark or the recon
i am buying a 2000 kawasaki bayou 300 4x4 for $200.00 not bad since it still has great tires on it and the frame is still as black as the day it was built meaning that it hasnt been some mud buggy for someone but i was told that it smokes so the rings needs to be replaced and the engine is already disassembled and i was given the gaskets for it but i have to get some rings for the piston overall i am happy with it
i have a 220 bayou and I cant get the reverse to work. I pull the knob and push down on the shifter but it wont go. do have any thoughts on what it might be?
did you make a review of the suzuki quadrunner 500
@minerwv99 We have plans to test the new Brute Force 300.
would you recommened this atv for beginners?
@ATVTVCOM you should a video on a 2010 bayou
would you recommend this atv for hill climbing
@arcticcatspirit7 That's almost impossible to say because of all the variables - but it will certainly push more than a shovel - or 4 even ;-)
I have an amazing 2000 Kawasaki bayou 300 4x4 the things a beast. I just don't like how there are no gauges or a fan so my motor gets pretty hot when we go on full days
the bayou 300 is supposed to have a fan. mabey your fan is not working? or has been removed or something?
When are you gonna make a video on a Yamaha Bruin 250 2wd Utility
REALLY good bike, I got to borrow one, but I own a Yamaha 250 Beartracker
@josequinto17 In a couple months hopefully
@CrimsonBloodStar Honestly, we haven't seen a new Bayou in many years...
@arcticcatspirit7 Not that well. You really need 4wd. I've heard of folks putting a bunch of weight on the rear rack to give it more traction.....
The difference between your opinion and ours is experience. Not only have we been riding since before you were alive, we have the ability to ride all the machines side by side....
when do you gonna test the new grizzly 300?
you said that it is hard to powerslide because of little power. I have a 91 quadrunner 160 with enough power to powerslide
I have a kawasaki bayou 250 2001 which has been wrecked by someone but it runs like new
so you can start the bayou 220 when its in gear, but you cannot start the 250 when its in gear
4:25 total bullshit i am 14 and i weigh 145 lbs and the bayou has scared me a few times. i can do a wheelie from a stand still in third gear on level ground,sitting on the seat(lots of power) and this thing FLYS! it can make my heart soar! and it is also THE BEST trailbike i have EVER used!!! the honda recon is terrible compared to the bayou in almost every way.
@gennadivich No time soon - sorry.
mine has over 8,000 hours. it was rebuilt by my neighbor at 7500 hours. other than that i have a carb rebuild kit in the mail nothing has been done to it.
I'd really suggest a 4 wheel drive machine.
the bayous are good bikes but the main problems they have are their rearends going out an the wireing problems
@krankedsilver We like 'em plus there's bunch of them where we test in the winter.
the brakes are not crappy. mine has over 8,000 hours with original brakes and it will throw you over the handlebars!
@TeenSK8SaintJohn Riding fast is not necessarily bad - but riding hard is....
You are absolutely right Scott, but he comments on many of the reviews with the same 14 year-old attitude....and it wears me down ;-)
@arcticcatspirit7 Nope. Sorry. We don't have one here to don that with.
The worst part still to date of the bayou is the drum brakes. They are strong when new but get worn out quickly. I have have had other machines but it proves to be reliable other then the crappy brakes. I think kawasaki should have updated the lousy brakes to see if sales improved before replacing it with the brute 300.
How many gears does it have?
5 speed
look -> 'nathan brauns en raptor 250cc'
this quad is a tank my friends lasted a half hour with a cracked head and oil squirting out the top of the motor and he was in mud up to the seat haha.
@HOMICIDESNIPER Typically not.
We never test top speeds as they can vary so much depending on conditions, tires, and road surface.
What's the top speed of the bayou??
We never measure top speed as it can vary so much depending on conditions.
55 mph
Is this atv good for beginners who are into something cheap but reliable aswell?
Yes. A great, reliable machine for beginner riders.
+ATVTV ok thank you. I found some of these for sale. The guy wanted 1000$ for two Kawasaki bayou 220s. Is that a good price?
The value of a used machine will depend on its condition and its use. How much was it ridden? How hard has it been ridden? Has it been crashed? Are there damaged parts on it? Was it maintained properly? All this goes into figuring the value of a used machine.
+ATVTV they look like in fairly well condition. Only problem is that they smoke a lot.
That';s not a good sign. Minimum it means the engine needs work (new rings at least).
you should have talked about the bayou 300. I have a 89 bayou 300 it has disk brakes in the front
I put a fan on mine ,
@CrimsonBloodStar Kawasaki needs to upgrade a lot of things!
No
Check our website - everything there is categorized by year and make.....
Absolutely no idea! Try typing that in a google search.
You might want to double-check your numbers. You lose a little credibility with them. 8000 hours at the least would be 8000 miles and on average for ATV riders it would be more like 80,000! I might believe 800 but...8000 ;-)
