You could always add an auxiliary gauge, if you can tee into the plumbing.

went out for a test ride yesterday to find that my wet clutch is poo poo and that my rad (I think) is leaking from the pressure of the new water pump....new wet clutch and one way bearing ordered but going to try a rad additive to see if I can seal the rad for now till I can save up for new rad and relocation kit

When you get a new rad, it will be a good time for new hoses and a thermostat. Everything will be top notch and reliable then.

midlifekrisiz · 05-06-2015, 08:05 AM

turns out it wasn't the rad but the rad cap that failed .... new one on order
also my new wet clutch and one way bearing were ordered and showed up yesterday afternoon.....2 days from ordering off ebay

Weldangrind · 05-06-2015, 11:15 AM

That's quick! When does surgery begin?

sorry I haven't been on here posting much ...been busy with life and such.

I have added the following since last post;

new thermostat, new water pump, cleaned and re-greased the rollers, changed 2 axles, new brakes, rad relocate kit, snorkels and a rear seat.

I will upload pics tomorrow.

just need to find the time to upload them......working a stupid shift from 1030 am to 830 pm -_-

will get them in here soon

midlifekrisiz · 09-30-2016, 11:31 AM

so here is what the rollers looked like when i first took it all apart......wayyyyy too much grease in there

take the plate out and this is what i found

not alot of room to run the snorkels in here

ended up cutting out allot of plastic and have to relocate my winch control but it is what it is

all installed rad re-locate and snorkels

had to trim one of the tabs off the rad cap so that i can turn it -_-

thats it for now ...i am sure i have some more pics around here somewhere.

Does Yamaha recommend the rollers be greased? I know that on my Honda Elite they were suppose to be dry. The ones in the buggy are dry too.

yes but very very little .....there is a set of rollers you can get for them that do not require grease but in stock set up you apply a very thing skim of grease .......definetly not what the PO had done here (guy was an idiot)
there was so much grease and dirt in there that the rollers couldn't even move.

I bet it felt like a new quad after cleaning all that grease out.
