2007 Yamaha Wolverine 450 4x4 Ring and Pinion

[Curtis Hicks]

Ring and pin stripped out along with rear axle ... gonna cost me about 2gs to have it fixed at the shop with all new parts ...wondering if anyone knows of any other bike that would match up or if I could replace whole thing from driveshaft back or from motor back ? ...very broke when it comes to putting money into this bike  just want it to ride again lol ....any help out here ?

That sounds pretty steep to fix. I would take it home and find a used read diff on ebay or elsewhere

Might want to gut it and see what is really broken if you haven't already.  Pretty unusual to strip the gears AND the axle, it's normally one or the other.  Had a Honda 420 apart recently that I just knew the ring and pinion was blown on.  Busted it open and it turned out to just be one bearing blew up that let the ring gear move to the side a 1/4 inch which wasn't enough to mesh with the pinion.

OEM Yamaha ring and pinon is only $200 or so, you can probably pick up an aftermarket for a hundo.
