Bellows instead of vent lines

[coupedehille]

Has anyone replaced their differential vent lines with the bellows used on Can Ams or Arctic Cats? I have ridden around with balloons on the end of my vent lines just to see how much pressure is generated from the diffs getting hot and it's practically none. I'm going to get a couple of these and try them out, I found them for $5 a piece. It's worth a shot and if it works it will save me a lot of fluid changes.

I've never done this, but am curious on the reults.

I moved this into the General ATV Discussions forum as it wasn't tagged with a specific model, and may get more responses here.

I've got 8 of them on the way. 4 for two honda foremans, 2 for a big bear and 2 for a prairie. I'll let you know how they work out after our next ride when we have a chance to test them in the water all day long and see if any water gets in. the can am part number is 705400352, it's called a SOUFFLET BELLOW. I believe the same part number is used on all can ams.

how do you like your king quad? do you have anything negative to say about it?

My Cat came with the bellows as standard. No problems with them at all.

The Vinson comes with bellows from the factory and they seem to work well.

they work great. they fit perfectly on the prairie. a little loose on the big bear and foremans, but a little bit of electrical tape and they were snug. no more water in the diffs!

The new machine I picked up also has the bellows, so Arctic Cat must not think they are an issue.

I inspect mine to see if they are ok, so far no issues.
