Hello all!

I bought a Bayou 220 last weekend that is supposed to be a 2000 model. However I bought it with a bill of sale and a partial VIN number. I have searched this forum and many others over the last week and have come to the conclusion the VIN should be stamped on the lower left frame tube either behind the front left wheel or approx 6" in front of the left foot peg. I have literaly spent probably 5 hours looking for this number and it is no where to be found. I am convinced this quad left the factory without being stamped. I have sanded the factory finish off several places looking for it only to find nothing but bare metal. I hate to sand anymore, because of ruining the finish because it is in good shape.

Could someone please take a pic of their quad in the general location I should be looking at and post it. I am not asking anyone to show their VIN, but just the general area I should be looking in. I don't see how I could have missed it, but anything is possible.

I must locate the full VIN so I can register it and get insurance on it. If anyone would be so kind I would be grateful.

Thanks,
Bill

220 should have the Frame number stamped in the Frame below the Front Diff i think on the Left side.
Look under where the Drive shaft leaves the diff housing, It should be in this area.

Tried to check year from the Engine number but i can't get Kawasaki to match a machine from the numbers you posted..??

No front diff, it is two wheel drive. That engine number I posted is what is exactly on the top right side of the motor. I have a bad feeling about this thing. Only good out of it is it starts, runs, and drives perfect. I just need to find some numbers so I can register as required by law in my state.

I can not make sense of the engine number either.

OK just checked what a 220 2000 Model should display..

Model:
KLF220-A13
2000

VIN:
JKBLFBAL_YB 760901 TO 783300 {22399}

ENGINE:
LF220AE 500001 TO 999999 {499998}

The range in both Vin & Engine is the amount of possible manufactured units in that Model..

Now the above info would suggest yours is a KLF220-A13 2000 Model.

LF220AE652616

But my concern is that i can't find that Engine number matching a specific Machine on Kawasaki's system..

This is my first ever quad and now you can see why I am so confused trying to make sense of it all. Still worries me as to why no VIN is present. It is not like it was sanded off either, it appears as if it was never there. Just like if it left the factory without being stamped.
