I have a 2004 Grizzly YFM 660 F that I use to plow the driveway and I use it to do yard work. For me it's a work horse. The cooling fan quit working last year. I didn't have time to mess with it so I sent it to a Yamaha dealer and this is where it all went south. The OEM fan was over $400 and the Moose fan was around $250 plus labor and sales tax. So I chose to have the Moose fan installed. That's where the trouble began. The first snow fall I worked this old girl not knowing that the Moose cooling fan draws more power than the OEM fan and its tripping the cooling fan automatic reset fuse. Yes, I have done my homework and I have diagnosed the circuit. The only problem I have is...I can't find the fuse. I have read that it's on the left side of the airbox. I have looked at the electrical 1 diagram and it's no help. My question is do I need to remove the airbox or do I need to remove the rear plastics?  I have been hunting for a repair manual but I haven't found one. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Update: because of the drawing listed above I was able to locate the circuit breaker. It is under the 4 wheel drive relays and the fuse box. The breaker is in the same cluster of wires as the tail light which is the 3 bullet connectors just before the wires enter the cover under under the rear rack. Unhook them and pull up on the wire easy don't go tearing at it. The circuit breaker is the bag at the end of the 5 wire cluster you just pulled up on. I removed the 4 wheel drive relays (they just slide up and are held in by a rubber cradle i had to wiggle them a little) to give me a better view and more room. The Moose Racing cooling fan draws more power than the Yamaha OEM fan. So I purchased a Marine grade 10 amp type 1 automatic reset circuit breaker, 15 feet of 16 guage wire ( I chose not to color coordinate but do be careful, the breaker will have a side that goes to the battery. It was the red wire on my machine.) I used bullet connectors but flat blade would work too. I chose to relocate the breaker. I put it in the compartment behind the battery where my tool kit was. I drilled 2 holes to bolt the circuit breaker to the side furthest away from the exhaust and one hole slightly larger to run the wire through. I put dielectric grease on the wire before I crimped them and then on the bullet connectors when I plugged them in. I also used heat shrink to seal the bullet connectors. At the breaker I was only able to use the grease but it does have a cover to keep out moisture. Finally, I siliconed the wire holes where I drilled through the plastics.  (I had to remove the rear rack and cover to chase the wire. For me it was the best option.) 

Again, Thank You for posting the diagram.

      Howdy ya'll. I am working ona 2000 Yamaha Breeze 125. It was in rought shape when I received it and I am working through issues as they pop up. The quad had been sitting for years. I was able to get her running again, but I need your help with the following issue:
      I don't trust the transmission yet and I don't want to make problems any worse. So, I haven't pushed things hard at all. Low rpms, less than 5mph in reverse.

      Nuetral: Runs as expected
      Reverse: She seems to be driving fine at slow speeds. Going into reverse at idle is fine, coming out of reverse back into neutral won't work (the shifter is just stuck). As soon as I turn off the quad, I am able to shift around without any issue.
      Forward: It slips. It seems to only transfer power to the wheels on a smooth surface and going slightly downhill. When shifting into forward at idle, there is a clacking sounds during the transition. Shifting back to nuetral works just fine.

      Other Notable Symptoms: There was old oil in the vbelt and when I was tuning the carb, it starting blowing out of the CVT cooling vent at the front of the quad. Made quite a mess. There is positive crankcase pressure due to piston blowby, that I have not decided whether or not I am going to fix (customer budget dependant).  Since the oil was old, much darker than the new oil that is in the crankcase, I am thinking it seeped past a bad seal while it was sitting for years. The oil that was in it when I first got it had gas in it.

      Thoughts: I am thinking maybe there is an issue with the clutch. I worry about the old oil intermingling with the dry centrifugal clutch. I was thinking my next step would be to take the cover off of the clutch and inspect it.

      Let me know what you all think. Any advice and ideas is greatly appreciated. This is only the 3rd quad I have worked on and I have a lot to learn.

      Hi guys, I have a 2004 big bear 400. Last winter while plowing the driveway, I heard a loud pop from the left side of the engine. It continued to run as I looked for leaky fluid, but then died shortly after backing it up and won’t start now. The oil light comes on when I try to start it, no noise or anything else. 
      No blown fuses that I can find.

      Hey guys and gals. I've been working on my friends 2007 big bear IRS. Unfortunately after 3 different people got their hands on it and only made things worse every time.  After months of finding just crazy problems everywhere. I'm finally at the point we're its almost 100% !!! But I'm getting a short somewhere between the 4xW switch I believe. I managed to by searching the internet like a  fiend, got my hands on an official Yamaha wire harness for the year and make. But I don't have the numbered component list and to be honest. After hours of going through and making everything so it's  easy to reference. If anyone has a picture of the referenced components. I would be forever in your debt. I've spent hours marking up the blown up diagram so it will be easy, for any possible future repairs. Please and thank you. Here's a picture of what i have so far.  Unsealed it in plastic so oil and crap won't spill or get smudged. This damn things worth it's weight in gold.              Thanks Jeff                2007 Yamaha big bear 400 IRS.       YFM40FBW

      Just some friendly advice on new tires. Check with your ATV dealer. 
      There are so many aftermarket sites, Revco, Royal Distributing, Partzilla, and on and on. Even with their “ big sales”, my local Canam dealer’s REGULAR price beat the tire prices of the 3rd party sellers! People often assume the Dealership will cost them more, but I found this not to be true!
