About the Kawasaki KLF300B
Rear drum-brake, wheel-seal and timing-service choices for B-series Bayou models.
Kawasaki’s Bayou 300 records use the KLF300B code for this branch of the utility ATV family. Machines carrying similar Bayou bodywork can belong to different series, so the frame code is more useful for parts selection than appearance.
Build a repair order for your B-model year
The rear brake shoes list 1988–2004 KLF300B, making them a useful starting point for rear drum service. Wheel seals cover 1988–1996, the cam chain 1988–1995 and the fuel-tap gasket 1988–1998. Check the seal locations, chain specification or gasket dimensions for each assembly you are servicing.
Model and application differencesCompare your KLF300B repair options
| Model or repair | What to check |
|---|---|
| Rear drum brake | The featured shoes list 1988–2004. Compare drum position, shoe profile and operating hardware. |
| B versus C wheel kit | The B-model wheel-seal kit is a different listed product from the C-model kit. |
| Earlier engine service | The linked cam chain lists 1988–1995 B models; later brake coverage does not extend it. |
Frame, engine and component markingsKawasaki KLF300B identification
Use the complete frame/model identification and the correct market documentation. Identify a replacement engine, carburetor or front end separately from the frame.
- Record the complete B-series identification and model year.
- Identify the rear brake as a drum assembly and compare the removed shoe shape.
- Compare wheel seals by location and dimensions, and the cam chain by pitch and link count.
A shared model prefix or similar appearance does not establish the model year or parts fitment.
