Hi , I have a 4x4 problem...2004 sp 500 ho. I broke the right front yoke, got a new universal joint and yoke, installed it and still dont have any pull on that wheel!!! Talked to dealer and took it all apart again cleaned everything and found the armature plate bent a little... straightned it and reinstalled all parts... and same result ..machine only pulls on three wheels... any Ideas.
My dealer is not close enough to visit, have to ship the machine...Thanks Rodney..

 

is the half shaft turning at all. if it is and the wheel isnt engaging then you may need at check out your hubs.

 

Yes the shaft is turning... trouble is in the Hub...but I dont know what it is..or how to fix it!!!

 

If your armature plate was bent you will need to replace it. The tolerance is only 0.0015" so I see no way of straightening it.

 

Thanks, that is the info i needed... Now I'll order one on Monday and might have it by Thursday,#$%%%$%$# another week without riding, that will make 3 weeks.

 

Three weeks only? I haven't ridden since NYD.

 

Can anyone tell me if i will cause more damage if i ride my quad with a damaged armature plate??(while I wait for the new one!!!)

 

Probably not, it just means your 2WD won't work.
