Hi all, good to meet you...new to the site.
My dad gave me his 1993 220 Bayou. It hasn't been run in about 4 years. It starts/idles fine, but needs a new clutch (slipping), a battery, some break work, and probably new fluids/filters. Due to my limited 4-wheeler mechanic abilities...I wanted to buy a service manual for the bike.

I saw that the Kawasaki brand manuals are going for 60 bucks and the Clymers are going for about 20-25 bucks. Which manual would you recommend? If not one of these 2, then which one?

Thanks, Ryan

Either one will work for you but as an ex-dealer mechanic I prefer the factory manuals. They have the part numbers in them for the tools you might have to get for certain jobs. Ray.

Ryan,
Nice to have you on here. You will find great help on this site, if you know how to ask. I love my Clymer manual, but have heard the Factory manuals are quite a bit better. ;)
