Great video with solid advice. Thank you!

Got a 350 rancher dirt cheap runs amazing they said it has a bad rear end seems to run awesome and great till i turn the wheels backwards a little fast it makes a awful crunch sounds

Hey huge thanks man. The only one thing I wanted to ask is I’m about to do maintenance on it and when I put the oil in I guess I feel it right up to that cap and I don’t even know where the front one is ha ha ha but I know it needs to be done.

Awesome video

Maybe you can help me. Im working on my 2009 suzuki king quad 400 4x4. Was going to do the back brakes but they still look new. I thought it was the brakes. Last yr right before I put it up for the winter I started to heae this....tink tink tink...from the back. So not the brakes. My axle on the right rear moves around. I can take it in hand an push it in almost a full inch. Ive never seen that. But it still spins like it should etc. Any thing will help. Not maybe videos for 09 400s lol

I'm stuck trying to figure out how to take axle off as I snapped rear axle can you upload that?

Step one of diagnosis: realising that's not a differential. It's a final drive. The only differential on that ATV and most ATVs, is on the front.

Great advice! We have a 2001 Big Bear 400 Professional. It has less than 2000km on it. We mainly use it to haul logs and wood and whatnot. Last year, we installed tracks on it to be able to use it in the snow. Lately it started having issues when reversing. When we press the rear break and engage the lever in reverse, it takes time before completely engaging. Once it does, it will make some kind of knocking sound when reversing and sporadically it will very briefly slip. It won't ever do it going forward, on in reverse. It this a common problem? What do you think we should look for first?

tracks are very harsh on the drivetrain. this sounds mostly transmission related, hopefully you figured it out by now!

Do you know if you can change the rear axle seal (side where fill plug is) while the axle is still on? or does the whole axle need pulled? I was thinking I can get away with installing it while together but asking

I want to know also. Did you get it done without taking the axle out?

So I just got a 1999 Yamaha Kodiak. Similar setup. I have changed the differential seals on both sides. Now I'm still noticing leaking fluid after riding for a bit out of the left side free floating axle. Any ideas after I have checked the bearings and the seal is new so I can't understand where that fluid is coming from.

We Try Motorsports : @ 1:10 thats a seal not a bearing .torched it too hot solidified the grease here. @ 1:31 they torched it to hot to remove the bearings , you can see the smoked aluminum coloring . can you guys see that ?

Hello I've got a 1989 Big Bear 350 that I purchased off a neighbour it runs well it drives well but there is a Creek in the rear end I'm not sure what the problem is do you have any idea

Where does the hose on it go to? On mine kts cut and I'm trying to find where it goes

I have an all time 4x4 Honda 450 and the front wheels are the only thing pulling could this be the reason?

What size battery do you use i need one for my kodiak?

Hi there ! I have a yamaha grizzly 660 from 2005. The rear diferential stays blocked, and i can't schifted off. What should i do? Thanks !!

How can I put new bearing in my rear diff? Do you have a video

Question: I have a 2005 magnum 330 4x4. Low torque and won’t go over 20-25 mph in high gear. While up on jacks, I can see the rear axle is wobbling like it’s bent or has bad bearings. Clutch cover is off, clutches seem to be shifting properly and no belt slippage. Drive shaft seems to be putting out good rpm, but the wheels turn slowly in comparison. No obvious grinding or clicking from the rear diff, but I’m thinking that’s where the problem lies. Thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

After reading the question a few times, seems like you worded it in a way where you were looking at this being the explanation... However, the bent axle is unlikely mission of a broken differential. Would be the indication of a bad rack and pinion or differential would be noise in the rear or obvious leaks. However if there's no noise it's unlikely. if you're absolutely convinced it's the rear, take the fill screw out and put a pinhole camera down there and see what it looks like. there's absolutely no way to tell what's wrong with your machine unless you dig into it unfortunately. Regardless, if the axle is bent you need to do work on the rear one way or the other take it apart and see what it looks like. Good luck!

What is the part number on the whole diff

Hey there I just got parts for mine and the rear axle splines are off set more compared to my other its 1998 big bear 4x4 .. any ideas??? Please help

@WeTryMotorsports

Well first of all, is your machine modified at all? It's pretty rare but it does happen. Second, make sure you get the right year pinion and spline. I do know that the 80s and early 90s do not fit the mid and late 90s. If you bought the innards new, you can always return for ones that fit. Without seeing it's really tough to tell otherwise. Good luck!

Hi, just wondering if you would be able to help me out, I’ve got a 2012 Yamaha Grizzly it done round 8000miles and it’s in pretty good condition. But it’s got an overheating problem it tends to over heat just after 10 minutes of riding, it starts back out again after 5 minutes. Do you have any idea what can cause this. It doesn’t have a fan it just got a oil cooler on the front.
