Surprising quality on a Niche product.

I'm generally against Chinese crap. Niche pistons for instance are known to blow to pieces in a 400ex. However, I picked up a Niche pinion and ring gear for a 300FW and am pleasantly surprised that the ring gear is actually welded. The pinion in it decided to commit suicide so I had to salvage a case half and buy a pinion and ring set. Had new bearings and seals though so recycled those. Lash is really decent too. We'll see if it stays together.

      I’m looking for a top end kit for a Yamaha. I would like to see how well the engine runs before spending $6-$7 hundred on oem. Niche has complete kits from $1-$2 hundred.  Anyone have experience with Niche or similar Chinese companies?

      I bought a 220 for my daughter and after riding for while it cut off and wouldn't start back up. Found the cam and rockers completely destroyed. When I replaced the head and got it running I checked and had no oil pressure. Pulled the side cover and the oil pump was missing the plastic gear. There were no pieces in the anywhere to be found. The side cover didn't look like it had been off in a long time. I wonder how long this thing was run without an oil pump. Put a new pump on it and its been running great.

      Hello,
      Hoping someone can help me out. Just picked up a 2001 Recon for my son, got a good deal on it but the rear-end of the bike came in a box (pieces). I have gone through and inventoried what I have and what I need but I am not sure what size ring gear spacers I should get. I have a new pinion gear installed and a new ring gear to put in it, all of the other bearings and seals are replaced also. So since this should be pretty much like a new differential, I am thinking that "F" is the right size (1.56) based on the manual where it says this is the "standard" size. I am thinking that I need to start somewhere before I worry about measuring backlash.

      Any input or advice would be appreciated.

      Hey guys and gals,
      I recently bought a 1994 yamaha big bear 350 with... surprise surprise.. rear diff problems.
      I have taken the rear diff all apart and the problem is the pinion bearings are both screwed. (Hope Im using the correct terms) Anyways there is a collar that has 4 "divets" in it that ya can beat on with a punch and it should turn. Well Ive beat on that collar and it is not turning. I have lubed, soaked, heated, cooled, you name it, and that collar will NOT budge.
      So as a last ditch effort before I take a die grinder and grind that collar outta there, I thought I would throw a post in here, and maybe someone has some trick or advice they can add that maybe I havent thought of.
      Now the axle, taking it out needed a beating, and I ended up screwing up the threads that hold the hub on, and eventually broke them right off. My plan is to drill about an inch hole in the end of the axle, thread it, thread a grade 8 bolt in there, loctite it in, then throw a bead of weld around the bolt. Im thinking for the little light duty puttering around I do with this quad, that this idea should be enough to repair the axle so the hub stays on, rather then fork out big bucks for a used or new one.
      Thoughts on both repairs would be great!

      I just picked up a new scrambler 850 and I’m looking to see if anyone has information on known issues with the 18-23 models. Just seeing if there is anything I can or should get ahead of or prepare for. It will be used for trail riding at medium to fast paced speeds. Lots of rocks where I ride so things tend to take a bit of a beating. Thanks for any insight!
