Hey, 

Looking for some advice regarding rear diff issue.

I have lost all drive power to the rear wheels from the diff. I have drained the diff oil and have not really found anything to scary apart from the colour of the oil....  Ive jacked the bike up.  Then I took the side cover off the transfer case to confirm drive shaft is all ok. And spins when put in gear etc. Then check the rear diff oil filler where you can see the crown wheel (final gear) that was spinning all ok.

My guess the spline how stripped on something either final drive or the main axle. Main question is how do I tell if the final drive splines are stripped?

Also during the process I managed to bugger the diff oil filler bolt plug thingee! Any ideas where I can get one? I’m in New Zealand if that helps.

cheers

No drain the oil no steel seen. Made a start yesterday pull the shaft out. Hopefully by the weekend I will know more. I’ve tracked down a second hand one. Hopefully that all that is buggered. Any idea on how to flash all the old oil out of the diff. I’m not really wanting to strip it down? Cheers

I had the splines go out on my 450S, I ended up replacing the main drive shaft and the main drive gear.  I could tell it was out by jacking up the back end then putting it in 1st gear and rotating the rear tires, I could spin them with out too much effort.  It wasn't too bad of a repair job.

Sorry for the delay. It’s all fixed now. I purchased a second hand main shaft and replaced it my self. Easy job  apart from the seized castlated nut on the left hand side. Ended up having to grind it off! 

Flashed diff oil several times. All good.

Bikes for sell now since been replaced with Honda foreman 500!

      New Yamaha Timberwolf Rear Shock Found!
      By McG75
      Sorry I suck at these forums so if you see this submitted under update status, my bad. Anyhow this is a new shock for a 96 Yamaha Kodiak 400 4x4 it fits my 96 Yamaha Timberwolf 250 4x4 perfectly. Little narrower are the bottom than the original but everything else is perfect. I extended it to almost a half in from full extension because I’m pushing 350 pounds.  It rides and hold me well. So if any of y'allRace driven shock. have been looking for one and didn’t want to do the research here it is.

      Anyone know how to line up the shifter shaft and the shift cam s

      2005 Bruin 350cc Oil pumping into airbox
      By BruceG
      Hi guys. I have a problem where the quad will start and run well for about 5 minutes and then it dies. On inspection the airbox has oil in it (quite a lot). The oil is pumping through the cylinder head breather hose. This problem first happened suddenly. I have since done the top end including, piston, gaskets, rings and valves. I have also done the carb (not that I thought that this was the problem). The compression seems normal. The only thing that I can think of, is that I did not grind the valves well enough. Anyone experienced this? If so, how did you fix it? Any other thoughts?

      1996 Yamaha Timberwolf 4x4 Rear End Width
      By McG75
      1996 4x4 Timberwolf rearend width. Can someone with some knowledge of these machines answer this question for me please. Are all 4x4 timberwolves this narrow in the rearend? These tires are so close the right one actually rubs the muffler.  Thinking about seeing if there are any spacers out there for it. I need at least an inch more clearance.
