Compatible equipment / model
- 1988–2004 Kawasaki Bayou 300 KLF300-B 2x4 models with the matching switch

Product Overview
A Bayou with no key-controlled power, an intermittent shutdown, a key that jams, or a switch that feels loose may have worn internal contacts or mechanical damage. Battery condition, main fuse, grounds, kill switch, neutral circuit, starter controls, and harness continuity should be checked before the key switch is blamed.
The switch opens and closes the keyed electrical circuit through two positions and a two-wire connection. Match the plug, wire colors, mounting thread, bezel, key positions, and original number because similar-looking Kawasaki switches may be wired differently.

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can a bad ignition switch cause an intermittent stall? A: Yes, worn contacts can interrupt keyed power, but kill-switch wiring, grounds, connectors, and ignition components can do the same.
Q: Will this fit a Bayou with more than two wires? A: No. This listing is for the matching two-wire, two-position design.
Q: How do I confirm fitment before ordering? A: Match the original reference number where available, then compare the removed part, dimensions, connections, mounting details, model, serial or production information, and package photos.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket part. Brand names and reference numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
