    I bought my big bear new in 01. I have been through the shit with it, great machine!
    been using it to pull logs out of the woods to put on mill. This beast takes a beating and keeps on ticking. I call it my horse goes anywhere!

    Love the old Sears, Steyer Daimler Puch Mo-ped. I had two of them and several of the other bikes with the same basic engine on them, from my early teens to around 20. I have a lot of great memories because of them. 49cc of raw, 2.5 hp. I also got a pretty good mechanical education and practice from working on them, and developed a love for motorcycles from them. Great to see one and thanks for the great, helpful video on the Big Bear.

    Do the differentials also have measure levels on the dipstick? I don't know how to put .37 qt of oil in the differential and .24 in the final, without putting too much in. I'm sure the engine (main oil) has a dipstick I can measure with.

    Question...Did that steel front "bumper plate" (mounted on the front brush guard), come stock on that 2000 model from the factory?
    I have a 2002, (which I bought used), and it didn't come with that set up. Just the smaller, tubular brush guard which is behind it (in silver), in your video. Regardless, whether it was stock, or an aftermarket piece, it's a pretty sweet setup for mounting a winch. Which I intend to do. Maybe it was a factory option from Yamaha? Thanks for any reply. Thumbed up. 👍

    I have a 2002 big bear 400 and I have to say that is probably the best atv I have ever owned. ive had a Honda, broke it. had a Polaris, broke it. but the Yamaha is still running strong. my only complaint is speed. its big green and slow lol, but it pulls like a monster. I don't have any Yamaha dealers near me so I have to order parts online. shipping is kinda high but I feel like the parts are high quality. bottom line, if my big bear blew up today i'd go buy another one just like it.

    @bigbass122 12 років тому

    Great video. But, You have to oil your foam filter. that is what collects the dirt and dust from clogging your paper filter. Take the foam filter off the paper filter,oil lightly and squeeze it till it is fully covered, do not over oil. Then put the foam filter back on the paper filter. When dirty take foam filter off and clean it with gas, do not wring out or twist the foam, squeeze it out. Have fun with your new toy.

      @jfrost77hd  4 роки тому +1

      I haven't messed with these in years but I know some will do that if the parking brake is not all the way disengaged as a safety, try manually disengaging it at the lever itself it could be hanging up. If not that I'd say the main jet in the carburetor is probably clogged.
