How to perform a complete oil and filter change on a Kawasaki Bayou KLF-220A or KLF-250 - A complete how-to guide for the oil change DIYer. This covers 1988 - 2003 models but provides general techniques which may help a newbie do it yourselfer perform an oil change successfully. This is a super easy step by step procedure; it is not difficult at all. The video gives you step by step instructions to make it easy and do the job right. In the video, I provide oil drain plug bolt torque specs specifications and recommended torque specs for the oil filter cover or cap. A couple of tricks, tips and techniques are in there as well that might save you some trouble and make your UTV ATV last longer and provide years of service. Who wants an ATV with a smoking engine anyway? Change that oil every 90 days of service! You do not need to find a local ATV mechanic shop or motorcycle shop to change your oil! What are the torque specs? How to change the engine oil in my ATV. What is the recommended oil, WT or oil or weight of engine oil for cold, cool, warm, or hot temperatures; Its all in there! Where is the oil drain plug? Where is the Oil filter located or found? How to change the oil and not make a mess for just a few bucks. How often should I change the oil in my ATV UTV? What is the part number for the oil filter? What is the K&N part number? KN-123. What size is the oil drain bolt? Bayou oil drain plug gasket. Where can I buy an oil filter online on the internet or web for my ATV UTV? Aluminum crankcase. How to increase longevity or make my ATV UTV last longer. What is the are the service intervals for my ATV Kawasaki Bayou 220? What you need is a drain pan, funnel, 2.11 QTs oil, KN-123 filter, rag, ratchet, extension, 8mm socket and 17mm socket. How much oil does a Bayou 220 engine take? How much does it cost to change my own oil? How much can I save if I change my own oil? How hard is it to change my own oil? Should I be using Synthetic Oil in my ATV? Does synthetic oil last longer? Possibly depending on conditions. Is synthetic oil worth the extra cost? Not in my opinion since I'm still going to use the same drain intervals. How does air temperature affect what type of oil I need to put in my ATV engine? Here are your motor oil choices for various temperatures: Above 10 degrees F - 10w30.10w40,10w50 SH or SJ. Above 30 degrees F - 20w40 or 20w50 SH or SJ. Below 30 degrees F - 5W30 SH or SJ. Please Recycle your used oil!

+Micheal Curry That can be tricky. Even harder to explain without pictures! Ill try to post one next time I'm in the carb. I do remember there is a keyway on the choke slide that makes it difficult to line up in the carb. Depress the throttle fully when trying to screw the chock cable to the top of the carb. They really could have made that design easier to work on!

Hi ! I just did the oil change on a 1991 Bayou 300 that I inherited... When I got the oil filter out, there was no metal shaft in the oil filter ??? When I looked on Ronnie's parts you can actually see the shaft in the parts diagram... a friend gave me a dead Bayou 300 frame and there was the motor still in there... I took the metal shaft from the oil filter that was in the dead quad... Should I continue running the Bayou without the metal shaft or should I put the metal shaft back in ? What is the metal shaft's purpose in the quad ? Thankx !

Sorry, probably too late, but YES!! (assuming it is the same length and fits nicely) A lot of guys throw them away with the filter and just stick the new filter in without the tube. Not good at all. I have seen many Kawasaki (mostly KLRs) without this tube, and it usually means the filter is just bathing in the oil as it flows around it and through the middle. Not filtering anything.

The oil isn't getting filtered without it. It likely got thrown away at some point so you need to order a replacement shaft. Here is a link to the parts breakdown: www.partzilla.com/catalog/kawasaki/atv/2005/bayou-250-klf250-a3/oil-pump-oil-filter
