I purchased the clutch, wheel bearings, and diff cover on my own and am just having them install everything and doing fluids.
I was quoted roughly $300 for everything. I was like ok cool.
I dropped the quad off at 3:00. I missed a call from 5:00, message says "hey ummmm we close at 5:30 aaaaannnndddd you have to call us back ASAP about your Scrambler!"
I got the message at 5:45, I’m like what in theeeee!? I call, no answer. However I got to talking with the service writer and got his cell for some custom work he does on street bikes and stuff.
I call his cell and he begins telling me not only do I need the wheel bearings but my hub is egg shaped on the left rear, my brand new pads are shot, and I have a major problem with my front differential binding!
I’m like what theeeeee!!!?
He goes on to tell me I’m going to be in the hole about $1600!
I said how can you quote me a price without knowing exactly what is wrong as they hadn’t torn into the diff yet. He’s like well, that’s a rough estimate but it appears as though you broke a tooth on one of the gears in the diff.
Now, I ran Race Driven pads with no expectations other than to see how they would hold up. With bad bearings I wouldn’t have been surprised to hear they were wearing unevenly, but this guys is telling me it wore through the rivets and the inside pads are gone. Oookkk maybe this could have happened.
But to tell me my diff is fucked after I’ve never once had a problem with my awd system is a little weird!
Heading back down first thing Monday to see what’s up.
If this is the case with all these issues, this Scrambler is purely one heck of a piece of crap! I have less than 1000 miles on this quad. Now I do ride the shit out of it, but I’ve ridden the shit out of everything I’ve ever owned, not to be mistaken for abused, but I def ride the hell out of them.
Anyway, I’m done ranting just needed to get that out!
Will keep you posted.
