I'm so happy I found this resource. My son got a Big Bear 400 for next to free and it needs a LOT of work. Motor runs great but the diffs are shot and the suspension needs rebuilt.

I am also looking for a service manual for 2005 Big Bear 400

Is yours the AIR COOLED model, like mine? It has a small oil cooler, and cylinder/heads are finned, no water jackets.
That manual seems to be missing...been searchiung for year.
I was unaware they offered a water-cooled, belt drive BigBear  that year.

At wits end trying to find the  service manual for 2004-06 Bruin 350 4x4 service manual

Have looked thru the downloads here and unable to find it

I downloaded the big 1GB 2005 file but the Bruin 350 manual was not in there

When you click on the link for the YFM350 manual it opens the 400FAR

Any help appreciated

I am also looking for the YFM35FAVH, 2006 Bruin 350 Auto 4X4 service manual.  Looked just about everywhere.  

I've downloaded the 2005 Yamaha Service Line Manual and the 2003 Yamaha YFM 350 FWAN Service Manual, close on some things but not quite there.

Also, Thanks oxidized_black for all the work you are doing here, looks like it must keep you pretty busy.  I really like the way you have it setup with selecting the Yamaha model for the manual you need, very slick.

Thanks again for all the work

Has anyone used repairloader.com for the purchase/download of manuals.  I have this link http://www.repairloader.com/manual.php/61fb36 to this site, they say they have the manual for "Yamaha 04-07 BRUIN 350 4X4 service manual PDF Download And Owners Manual ATV Workshop Shop Repair Manual" but there are no pictures of what is being purchased, looks like i'd be purchasing the manual on a hope & a prayer, not sure I have that much faith.

Thanks

The manual that oxidized_black posted "2003 Yamaha YFM 350 FWAN service manual" has the correct wiring diagram for my 2006 Bruin 350 Auto 4X4.  Took me a little while to figure it out.  The electrical diagram is on the very last page of this manual page 119.

Also, I want to give-off about how bad Yamaha support is.  I remember a time when you always received a wiring diagram with your owners manual; no more, I guess 1 more piece of paper is to much for Yamaha.  I have been all over Yamaha's support website looking for a service manual or at least just a electrical diagram for my 2006 Bruin, nothing.  I have looked off & on for 2 days on the internet and have been unable to find anything.  If it wasn't for dedicated and selfless people like oxidized_black a lot of Yamaha customers would really be SOL.  How hard can it be to support owners who previously purchased a $7,500 machine from you; an electrical diagram would be less than a kilobyte of data space on one of your servers.  And why are you (Yamaha) unable to sell a digital copies of the service manuals for older manuals, how hard could it be, with just half a thought for your past customers, how hard can it be.  Terrible support.  I am in the market for a new ATV, my existing ATV will be passed down.  With this piss poor Yamaha support and customer loyalty I will be purchasing my new ATV elsewhere.

it'd be nice but stealerships make a big fat wad of cash fixing things so its not likely to happen. should be glad they havent done the john deere method where they dont allow anyone to work on their stuff at all.

This is a great forum,  I have one of the original (1999) 600 Grizzly's it is currently getting a new top end rebuild,  did many miles and day's on this ATV, only complaints are the solid rear axle, very fun bike.  Decided last fall to upgrade and purchased a 2019 700 Griz SE,  I'm so excited to get on the trails this summer with the new ride.  Nice to meet you all!

Looking for possible stator failure testing references for my 1992 Big Bear 350 4x4 that suddenly developed NO SPARK symptoms. Have installed new spark plug and new coil. Hoping to ID the problem before spending big on new CDI as last resort. 

Any help appreciated.

Hey all,

I am looking for the service manual for a 2008 Yamaha Big Bear 400 here is some additional info.

2008 Yamaha YFM400FWN 4WD

Possible 2nd model # YFM40FBX

vin 5Y4AH29YX8A0020xx

I have searched high and low in the web and can not find the 2007-2012 service manual. I need to figure out how to clean/fix or replace my neutral switch assembly as generally the neutral light doesn’t come on when it is in neutral. To get it to come on I have to wiggle the foot shifter and hold it in just the right spot. Any help would be great.

thanks

Scott

      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
