also, after replacing the boots and lower ball joint, i backed the clutch off a little....that seemed to help. My theory (probably wrong) was that my clutch was still engaging making it hard to get out of that damn reverse...so, i loosened the nut and turned it CC. I might do a little more after i ride it.

2001 Yamaha Kodiak YFM 400 - Choke lever doesn't stay in position

maybe your cable isn't run correctly and putting stress on it? i believe it should be a relaxed cable without any sharp bends or curves (?) -
by the way, i must have set the valves correctly....i just touch the start button and it fires up instantly.

i have a couple of different torque wrenches....one digital...but, i was too lazy to get it out....lol....my bad. i should get into the practice of using them again. But, all done!!
-
well.....not exactly smoothly....lol....i found out i stripped the threads on the lower ball joint on the left side....damn thing would not tighten until i realized why. so, ordered a new one and it'll be on this saturday. these 4 wheelers sure keep you busy.

piece of cake....well, kinda....maybe a messy cake with that black grease....but, they're in! thanks for the help!!

good information guys. then i'm going to say mine is a YFM400FM...since it's 4x4 and manual shift.
-
VIN: 5Y4AH06WXYA008015 So, checking VIN look up sites, one says mine is a YFM400 and another says it's a YFM400FWN
-
is there a sticker or something that tells me which one i have? I believe its a YFM400F
-
what's the difference between YFM400FMC or,YFM400FM, or YFM400FHRC?
-
I just want to clarify that i was doing the timing correct. I wanted to adjust the valves, so, I removed the spark plug, I removed that little black plastic cap on the side, then, i turned the engine counterclockwise until the "T" lined up with the small groove on the threads where that black cap screws in. Then i checked the valve clearances. So, what is the "F" mark for? I hope the "T" was the right mark to use. lol

i'm game....like i said in about two weeks i'll get into it. I'll let you guys know how it went. thanks again!!!!

i'm going to hate this job......but, what's the worse that can happen? LOL

2000 Big Bear 400 4x4 so, what you guys are saying the axles should pull out of the front yoke with maybe a little tugging? The axle is just held in there with that ring clip? My next question is will it go back in ok and how will i know if it went all the way in and locked? I'll be doing that in about 2 weeks. I have to finish yet another remodeling job for the old lady I appreciate all the feed back!!!! I see a pair of them, right and left, on ebay for $98. should i take the risk and buy them? It's the axles with the boots, clips, washer and nuts.
