My family all rides Yamaha’s and dad is a cheap old guy that refuses to upgrade his 1998 kodiak… runs like a top until last week when trying to disengage the 4×4 it went about 20 feet forward before it disengaged… anyhow when it does disengage it pops loud… you can feel it beneath you and hear it… kind sound like a ball joint on an old truck when they went and you tried to go around a corner… if anyone knows what im talking about it almost hurts to hear that noise… quad maybe has 2000 miles on it… i gotta get it fixes as he’s now riding my 12 grizzly 700 which leaves me with nothing lol

i should add it’s the on command 4×4 system with no diff lock… also the bike has always had a problem engageing into park… you have to rock the machine to get the park light to come on so that you can start it not sure if these two things are linkined…

dad always ties down his quad in his pick up but not very well… im afraid he leaves it in park which can’t be good on the roads he travels

Could the tranny be done?
