So far the wifes Yamoto has not had any bearing issues. I have checked the front wheel bearings and the carrier bearings and they are in good shape. For now I am going to keep an eye on them and see how long they last.

The problem I noticed with mine is the bolts are not centered and the carb sits on there crooked. Basically, when you put the air cleaner assembly back on you have to pull the carb assembly to the left and this broke the rubber housing. Mine is cracked near the bolt hole so it's very hard to get to with electrical tape.
Also, one of the engine mounts broke right near the berf bar. I had a problem with this bolt working loose so I put something else in their to strengthen it and I just noticed it broke off the casting and at the frame. I assume just from the torque of the motor. It's not ridden very hard.

When I was referring to electrical tape sealing the split in the rubber, I meant you have to take off the gas tank, then the carb, then remove the air intake assembly...then tape the piece. There is NO way you can put electrical tape over the crack without disassemblying the ATV. This really stinks but that's the only way. I have taken mine apart several times.

Hi All
I am in need of some help again. The front sprocket is loose, and I can't figure out how to tighten it. Any help could be great.

I have begun the installation of shocks on the wifes Yamoto. I am installing warrior front shocks and a Blaster rear shock. I will let you know how it turns out.

Yamoto 150cc Review
My son has a 2004 Yamato 150cc. The bumper sits too low and catches on the trails. The first time he rode, he got the wind knocked out of him when he went over a rut. The second, the bumper caught another rut and he flipped his four wheeler. Luckily, he didn't break anything. Do you know if Yamato has a site to report this poor design?
Also, when you got your Yamato, did the front wheels turn in? My son's front wheels don't sit straight. I'm not sure if there's a special way to put on the tires or whether this is another poor design from Yamato? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
