1998 kawasaki KLX 300 Questions & Answers
1998 Kawasaki KLX 300 won't start.
You cant check the compression on those bikes due to the compression release on the exhaust cam. 75psi is ok. 64 to 125 psi due to the fluctuation caused by the release mechanism. Please dont say things that aint true. People that need help may tear down a goid engine due to your bad advice.
My '98 kawasaki 300 4x4
Hey Bently,
sorry, there is no way to do anything to the transmission without tearing the engine down,,, DO NOT ride this atv again ,,you WILL cause more damage to the engine/transmission... It could/possibly be in the drive train...either way -
take it to a qualified professional...

open the clucth cover and check if rod is installed
also how was it packed solid/friction/solid/friction
while open check clutch basket for ruff edges where solids plates ride should be smooth
Water is coming out of
this is normal. The heat from the engine is no longer being circulated by the water pump, this causes the pressure to rise. The coolant is expelled into the coolant tank. The coolant is drawn back into the radiator as it cools. If the coolant level is low when checked ( bike cool ) then there may be another problem. Over heating due to stuck thermostat or blown head gasket. Be sure the coolant overflow tank hose is not cracked or leaking.
Why does my atv runs fast idle all the time
Several possibilities, including, throttle not returning to idle position due to bent or damaged cable from throttle to carburettor.This cable may also need lubricating with light (thin) oil. Idle setting on carb may need reducing. Finding the trouble should not cost a lot if you require someone else to dignose. If you have a work book for your vehicle (recomended), just go through the troubleshooting section for that problem. It could be an easy fix yourself at no cost.
Clogged fuel line
replace the fuel line , remove tank and remove fuel tap and clean out ! might be a good idear to strip the carb too ! sounds like the bike not used enough and the fuel gone off ! 6mths and fuel is off and only good for cleaning dirt off parts !! P....
Fouling out new plug
over rich - if it does the same with no filter on try dropping the needle .if it's fine with no filter than try a free flowing one . float hight may be incorrect - double check where the float hight should be measured from. if carb has a diaphram in it make sure its correctly positioned it could be keeping the needle to high up. you could try a lower octane fuel.
I have a 300 kawaski
If it's the one I'm thinking of -it has a vacuum operated shutoff valve on the tank. So your leaky -read stuck- needle and seat only leak when the engine is turning over.
Pull the carb loose and roll over and remove the float bowl. drop the float pin and remove the float and needle. Find the vacuum line to the fuel valve and **** it open to flush out the needle and seat. When the fuel runs clean, put the needle and float back on and open the fuel valve again. If the upside down carbs holds back the fuel- it's fixed and you can put it back together.
Klf 300 starter motor runs
Sounds like the relay contacts are bent or welded closed or the solenoid is stuck. Check the solenoid first by removing the small wire from it and seeing if the starter stops turning. If it does not stop, the contacts in the solenoid are stuck closed.
Sat for 5 years cleaned
make sure u have the right compression and after 5 years of not kicking it a 300 is probably pretty tough to kick. but u should be ok
