Right on! Yes that would work as long as the hex head was protected and couldn't get knocked off. Wait until you hear the story about the Front diff oil change on the Can Am...let's just say it's now part Honda! Thanks for checking out the video.
Wow! The old oil really looked pretty good! Mine has been coming out quite dirty. By the way, my favorite part is your oil drain pan!! That must be a Cubbee thing!
Did all the maintenance in the spring, should be good now for the summer riding season. Giveaways are always a nice thing to do to thank your viewers but be sure to check out the UA-cam "official" rules as there are certain things you aren't supposed to do. Not saying everyone follows them ;) We found that as far as increasing subs, you would only get the new ones for the giveaway and then they wouldn't all stick around. Always did them more as a way to say "Thanks". Hope that helps and Good Luck!
Thanks Gunny! Hoping to keep them running so no break downs when we're out in the bush...long walk home LOL Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video!
Thanks! Drain pan works really good..."design" helps to pour used oil into a larger storage container. Low profile design helps to get under the ATV too LOL
been enjoying your latest how to videos, they will be perfect when it's time to tackle mine, and on that subject, how often should you perform these tasks in your last few videos? just when the parts wear out or should you replace on a kilometre schedule?
Glad to hear you are enjoying the maintenance videos and hopefully they will come in handy at some point. We change the oils when the manual recommends and try to keep to it at all times. As far as bearings, brake pads...we keep an eye on them and only replace when they are worn out. Some wear out quicker than others depending on the part and what conditions you ride in. Hope that helps!
Great vid cubbeez man I just recently subscribed about a week ago and I'm lovening your channel man. I have a 250 ex Honda have some decent tires and I was wondering if u knew where I could get some good oil recommendations I need new oil because I just recently rebuilt my bike and all I need is oil and then I can get back to boggin
Thanks very much for checking out our videos and glad you are enjoying them. We have been using Rotella T Synthetic and never had any issues. Another good brand is Ipone which we are just starting to try. Thanks again for watching.
I was surprised to see that the drain plugs were not magnetic as they help prevent gear wear, if they come out looking like Hedgehogs then you have a serious wear problem.
Was this the first diff oil change since the atv was bought new? I ended changing mine in my 2012 grizzly at like 1500 miles, lol, guess it wasn't as prudent as I though. I flushed the rad too
Hey Canesser! We try and change them every year in the spring. The anti-seize stuff is like a "graphite/silver compound" that also comes in a "high heat" (copper colour.) You could use the blue Loc-tite though...that would work! Thanks very much for stopping by and checking out the video.
blue loctite is the total opposite of anti-seize. loctite is a thread locker designed to glue the bolt in making it hard to remove. anti-seize semi-lubricates and prevents corrosion and debris from getting in the threads, allowing for easy removal. another thing, your torque setting are incorrect now that the treads have anti-seise on them. you never apply lube to a fastener that requires a percise torque.
I have a question, I have a Yamaha Bruin 350 and last year the winch got wet and broke, got a new one and it's been through some water nothing bad and already it's not pulling in it'll only come out and sometimes in, anything I should do to maintain it? Any way to keep it dry or dry it myself? Thanks
Hmmm, depends if it is the winch or the switch. I hear some winch's are more waterproof than others. Hard to tell, could just be the switch. Try spraying contact cleaner on it and keep moving the switch back and forth. The switch on the Kodiak does that once in awhile..just wasn't making a good contact. Hope that helps and good luck!
+cubbeezx thank you!! I think it's the switch honestly, I know very little about bikes I just love riding, I really don't wanna buy another winch haha I'll see how that goes and possibly an update. Btw very excited for a new video I've been watching for years y'all are the reason I wanted a bike so bad lol
just bought a 2008 yamaha grizzly 700 super excited pick it up saturday
I like these 'service videos' complete with torque specs. Good job !
Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video Reg. Hopefully they will help somebody out one day!
Just did the Brute Force! Some people change that allen bolt for a hex head, as the allen tends to strip out eventually! Nice video Cubbee!
Right on! Yes that would work as long as the hex head was protected and couldn't get knocked off. Wait until you hear the story about the Front diff oil change on the Can Am...let's just say it's now part Honda! Thanks for checking out the video.
Thanks for providing a great video on how to do this.
Glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for showing on how to. This will come in handy later on. Keep up the great work you & CK do!
Thanks very much for watching and glad you enjoyed the video!
Sweet, this is what I needed. :) I couldn't find a good video on how to. Thanks again man! I'll do mine this weekend.
Thanks for watching, and good luck when you do yours! Let us know how it goes.
Wow! The old oil really looked pretty good! Mine has been coming out quite dirty. By the way, my favorite part is your oil drain pan!! That must be a Cubbee thing!
LOL yes, learned the oil drain pan trick many years ago...works great! Thanks very much for watching.
Awesome video cubbeezx ! Mine has been in maintenance too and i didnt know they change the oil in the drive lines too . Thank you !
Thanks for checking out the video and glad you enjoyed the video.
Great vid like the maintenance vids keep up the great work.
Glad to hear you enjoy the videos Andrew, thanks for watching.
Yamaha is so simple on fluid changes. Gear oil and motor oil, done. I had four types of fluid in my rzr.
Really...4 kinds..WOW! The Grizzly was so much easier than the Can Am...I was cursing those design engineers. Thanks for watching.
Good Job! Rooting for 50K subs for you. With these DIY videos you will be on your way!
Thanks very much! Appreciate you stopping by and commenting.

Great video! As always. I am going to steel your drain pan idea! Very clever. Lol

Glad you stopped by!

Yes, definitely didn't have magnetic plugs. Thanks very much for checking out the video.

We try and change the diff oil at least once a year..sometimes two depending on how its going!
+cubbeezx oh, wow, thank you, I may need to start doing it more often than every two years!
How often do you do your diffs Cubbee? Are you talking about the blue Loc-tite product when you say anti-seize?
Use the same exact in-lb torque wrench lol.

They sure come in handy when "wrenching!"
