Moto 4 sub trans questions


Recommended Posts

Was given an old moto 4 350 a while back and got it running but had problems with the sub trans being stiff, so stiff the we have broken the shift lever off of it and was just trying to find info about possible lockouts and any info to free it up and get it working again. It's currently in high and is moving around find but would eventually like reverse back

There will be some sort of interlock to prevent it going into more than one range at a time, and on some models of yamaha that interlock gives trouble.

The resident expert is a guy in here called MarkinAR..  If you message him he will probably be able to talk you through what to check.

@Samual Andrade, Man, it's been forever since I've been into one of those.  The last one I can remember kinda like that was a Big Bear 350 and it had two linkage adjustments on the right side of the motor.  It really sounds like you have some kind of linkage adjustment issue or something like that.  Where was the hi/lo/reverse switch on those?  Top of the tank?

My apologies for slow response times, I'm not on here a whole lot any more, just kind of in and out.

No worries on the response time I'm in no rush and surprised to get a reply at all lol yes the high low is a big shift lever on the left side of the tank, like center console shift in a car. I've seen the linkage points on the motor but don't know how to adjust it and didn't want to just start loosening stuff because it's currently still in high and does run and drive, would be nice to have reverse back though lol

      Hey I have a 1997 big bear 350 4x4
      I replaced the shifter shaft and the shift arm linkage and the rod when I installed them all I was unaware that you had to line the dot on the shifter shaft with the gap on the linkage arm gap put it all back  together and rode it I can't get it to shift in the right gears  I can move the shift cam by hand and goes in different gears but with the shifter shaft in it riding I can't put it in R or N 
      Anyone know how to line up the shifter shaft and the shift cam s

      Hello,
      I was able to repair most of the little problems on my 2006 BRUIN. I still have little things to do...
      I changed the Hazard light Switch because it was not locking when pushed and now it is not working at all. When I connect it (not sure of the wiring -4 wires but a lot of connection possible on this HELLA 3916-01 switch-) the flashing lights button (on the handlebar) is acting like the Hazard light switch.

      I am working on a basket case for a friend.  It is a 98 Big Bear (YFM350FWB).  It came with a parts machine which is a 96, which I am coming to find out is VERY different from his machine.
       
      Anyway, first thing is first.  I checked compression, 150psi.  Valves are set correctly, and the engine is in time.  I cleaned the carb, and there was some junk in the passages.  It is a chinese carb, which I figured from the lack of markings or lettering altogether.
       
      The bike runs.  It idles ok, but breaks up badly under acceleration.  Pulling a new spark plug shows it is running lean.  White strap, with no black whatsoever.  So I have the carb adjusted with the mixture screw out way too much (about 5 turns), and the diaphragm needle lifted to the top slot.  It is still not getting enough fuel (or too much air).  It backfires through the carb, and cannot get above idle without carrying on.  The carb boot is in good shape, so it isn't pulling any air there.  I did test this as well by spraying ether around the boot when running, looking for intake leaks.
       
      Anything big I am missing here?  I am starting to believe that this chinese carb is the issue.  This quad came with the original carb, which I would like to rebuild and use, but the mixture screw is totally stuck, and stripped way down in its recess.  
       
      Thanks for any assistance.

      Soon to begin working on a 2002 (i believe) Bruin 350 i recently got back. Reportedly will shut-off while driving it, and blows a fuse (i have not gotten a battery, and begun diagnosis myself yet).
      Was told if they change fuse and it goes again for a while until it happens again.
      Figured it was worth asking here if anyone has had a similar experience, and determined the cause (worth a shot right?)? TIA.

      Hey all back again with my 1989 moto 4 250.
      After putting a new carb on it it's really sputtery, it has new gas and I'm wondering what to tune on the carb to make it idle better. I've attached a video to describe the issue more. The bike is still work in progress but I think the video gets the point across. Thanks!
