Axle Seal, I dont understand?

Today I took out my wife’s 2006 Kodiak 450 out of storage that has been sitting for 2 years and the right rear axle seal is leaking. I had it replaced under warranty at 400km and now with 6500 km it is leaking again. It was not leaking last year so I don’t understand why it is leaking now after sitting in storage for 2 years. It was not leaking when I parked it and the oil level is correct and the diff is under no pressure since it has not been running, so why is it oil leaking past the seal. Can anyone shed some light to why this is happening. My 700 has never leaked so I don’t think age is a problem

Thanks

09 Big Bear speedo problem

I sure hope someone can help me out here. I recently purchased my first atv. The 09 Big Bear IRS seems to be a great machine and I’ve already been enjoying it.

When I got it the speedometer/odometer wasn’t working and the reverse light blinks after I get it up to speed (if I just putt along it doesn’t come one), so I looked into it and found that this is a common problem. I checked the end that screws into the back of the speedometer and it was loose. I tried reconnecting it but it still didn’t work. At this point I figured it was the cable so I ordered a new cable and installed it but still no speedometer or odometer.

I’m not sure where to go from here. Does anyone have any ideas on what I should check next?

wheel bearing

I have some play in the front wheel of my 1997 Kodiak. It’s not much, but it needs a new bearing. My question is, there is two separate bearings and two oil seals. I would only need these four parts when doing this job, right? Or is there another part(s) I should buy as well…

Thanks

Moto 4 Carb Problem

So we own an older Moto 4 350 and It started dripping gas out of the overflow drain of the carburetor about a year ago. We thought it would be the needle and seat (sorry don`t know the right way to spell it) and we replaced that. After a month or two, it did it again, we did the same thing and replaced it. Worked good for a couple months until it was leaking again and we replaced again. We recently just decided to try to work it in a little bit because it seems really tight and it seems like it might being hung up. Anyone else have an opinion on this?
