Can a damaged starter be removed from a Kawasaki Bayou?
Starter motor failures are a common problem, especially with older Bayous; however, a damaged starter is not a deal buster.

Place a oil drain pan directly below the engine.

What to do if your starter won’t start?
Clean all connections both at the starter and the battery to ensure there is no bad connection.

Hello, I’m new to this forum and am in need of some advice. We own a 94 Bayou 300 and I’m having starting problems. If i use the starter switch when the engine is cold it will turn over nicely but will not start. I appear to be getting a spark to the plug but not sure how strong.
How long does it take to install a motorcycle starter?

Thought of a different approach to removing and re-installing the starter motor, without having to take the engine side cover off every-time due to the little sprocket falling off inside (pain-in-the-neck!). This way I can remove and re-install the motor in about 10 minutes.
