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

I think you would visibly see if there was gear damage. Are there any metal shavings in the oil? Check out this topic:

Have you done a spline inspection? Check out this video:

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!

      91 quadrunner lt4wd shifting issue
      By Joeguy
      After i did my rebuild it seems to not want to shift well. I think the cable is alright, and when it does shift its nice and solid. I have to basically use my hand to shift and i have to pull or push it very far, like max travel, to get it to shift. I also tried adjusting the clutch set screw. Any ideas where to go next, or maybe i should just grab a new cable to try.

      NSFW / Looking for fun ideas for our 2nd Quad Runners event at our nudist campground
      By mehim
      Hi everyone and thanks for reading. 
      My husband and me are getting ready to host the 2nd Quad Runners event at our nudist campground. The first one (last year) went pretty well with about 20 quads attending and have to say, it was a smaller group, but they made up for their size with the large interest in partying and there was plenty of nudity as the Saturday night went on. 
      We have decided to host another one this summer, but we are looking for some fun (but safe) riding events. Our grounds are almost all flat and remember we are a nudist campground so many of us are bare as* naked so "slow ride" events would be the best. 
      Give us your thoughts and ideas and feel free to ask us anything you would like, and we will answer right here in the thread. 
      Thanks for your help and ride safe. 
      BTW, let us know what "anything goes" means for this thread section.

      Looking for Quadrunner Flywheel Starter Clutch Gear race diameter
      By logray
      Hi all, 

      I am wondering if any of you have a Clutch Starter gear from a 1988 era quadrunner 250 sitting around that you could get me a precise measurement of the outer diameter of the race the sprag engages onto, for me? I need to machine a damaged race down and install a hardened sleeve and need that measurement (it's on a different gear than the OEM one, so I can't buy and use a OEM gear).

      Fuel issue
      By Dsluder
      I am having an issue with a hs500. I bought it broken and have been trying to get it running. It seems to be starving for fuel. If I put my hand over the intake it will crank but will not run for very long because I'm not able to get the correct airflow with my hand. The things I have done so far are. Replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, mass airflow sensor, idle air adjuster, fuel injector, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the ecu, and still the same issue. I notice the injector does not spray when removed from the head. I dont know if that is common. 
       
      I am out of ideas on what to do next. I have removed the fuel line from the injector and it is getting plenty of fuel. If anyone has an idea on what could possibly be the issue I would be happy to try anything at this point.
