Lakota Sport 300 Review | First Impressions.

[@racerx9223]

This ATV was Kawasaki's answer to the Yamaha warrior ATV, the predecessor of the Lakota was as he said, "the Mojave 250" which was first entered to compete with the YFM200 blaster and 350 warrior.

[@high5guys701]

I have yet to ride a warrior 350, their production run was so long and I've heard the engine on them is also extremely simple and reliable. Though alot of people say they are top heavy and slow by today's standards and the suspension and handling aren't great. I don't really care I like riding ATVs and I'd like to take one for a spin. On a side note, I really like the styling of some these older ATVs.

@@high5guys701 yeah it's awesome to actually understand the evolutions of the different manufacturers, understanding the lineage and whatnot, it's so expansive. Especially if you get into all the different models that never made it here, or their versions of the same thing. Anything with a motor is fun and I can hardly wait to see what electrical bikes will be able to do!

How tall are you. Can a guy thats 6"1. Ride comfortable on the lakota?

[@racerx9223]

@@mikekjar7608 yes you can, I'm 6 foot 7, depending on how you sit on the bike you can be comfortable on almost any sized ATV. The handlebars will be close to your knees when you turn sharply but you can always get bar risers or handlebars with a higher bend to give more room.

[@high5guys701]

@@mikekjar7608 I'm 6ft and I fit fine these older ATVs with small cc engines tend to be geared towards adults more than the new ones. That being said, if it was my personal ATV I'd probably get a taller set of handlebars.

Great review, have you done the follow-up yet?

[@racerx9223]

Time to upgrade to a lithium battery and shave off 7-9lbs compared to that brick! I'd suggest Western power sports, I was super happy that it came with different sized adhesive backed foam to help keep it from moving because they are so much smaller!😁

How fast it go

[@gtanocap3290]

To his looks just like my 2006 Kawasaki Mojave’

[@ryanwilson7266]

Where is the vin number at on this

[@hgj2019]

Serial number on mine is stamped into the side of the bottom left frame rail, up near the front.

[@rocalegi9840]

I have a Lakota 300 also but as soon as I put in gear it moves so it i hit the brakes to come to a completely stop it stall. Does anyone know why? It start right up but it does it every time I stop

[@2wheelfamily493]

Sounds like the clutch adjuster needs to be adjusted. Definitely sounds like your clutch is out of adjustment

[@DieseltheWhiteTailedBuck]

I have a 2000 and I was wonder, how do I wheelie it?

[@bunythebeastgamer6920]

Foot brake. Load the clutch and pull back on the bars when you launch it.

[@DieseltheWhiteTailedBuck]

@@bunythebeastgamer6920 ah sweet, thank you!

[@anthonyk]

So does this have a clutch im looking to either get one of these or a mojave 250 this looks like a simpler mojave

[@high5guys701]

No clutch just shift with your foot and your good.

[@Marioart-td9tl]

hi. can you tell me how much gear oil you use in a 4 hour drive. mine uses about 100 ml. and I think that's a lot

[@high5guys701]

It's actually not my ATV. It was borrowed from my friend for the review. Either way, having owned quite a few different quads. I'd say you have a leak that needs addressing.

[@mikeez5455]

You didn't give any important info, like 4x4, reverse, hi/low?

[@high5guys701]

5 speed manual with auto clutch and reverse and chain driven (RWD) 0:47

[@alexMartinez-mo9vj]

It’s only 2 wheel drive I have 2 of these there absolutely great quads they do just fine keeping up with bigger quads even on the trails the only problem is the rear shock is out on one of mine too so just upgrade that and totally great quad

[@isaacabernathy8819]

Will the plastics on that fit on my Mojave 250

[@high5guys701]

Yes they will

[@josuea.4721]

Saludos de mexico

[@josipsantini5955]

How many HP or kW

[@high5guys701]

21 HP

[@IN-ze6pk]

It’s ok for wheeling? Or not?

[@high5guys701]

It's not the best for riding wheelies but it can be done

[@montanamanbuilds8153]

It only for looking at!
