Bought a very used 700, wanted one for working around my place. Well the speedometer doesn't work so no 4x4.I searched here and found the brown white/ wire fix. Did that and the light on the AWD lit up but still no 4wd. Whats next? Also when I took it to be serviced was told that I needed the front diferential rebuilt, had that done along w/ some other stuff cost me $500. Guy at the shop told me the 4wd worked. Just want to get this thing going, should I buy the speedometer.

Thanks

 

How are you determining if the AWD works? The rear wheels need to slip before the fronts will engage. If you jack up the whole ATV, put it in AWD and then give it a little gas, the rear wheels should start spinning first immediately follow by the fronts.

 

I backed down into the lake and had the rear tires spinning. Did this several times w/ the AWD off then on. Never got the front to spin. I'll try jacking it up. What else could be keeping the 4 WD from working?

 

How about some help. If it's not the speedo, what may it be?

Thanks

 

Do you have a voltmeter? If so see if there is voltage runnig to the front gearcase. If there is, it's still in the front gearcase. If there isn't, you have an electrical problem.
I haven't read the thread about the brown white wire fix, but from the posts I've read on this forum so far makes me think it's a probably valid fix. Got a link to that thread?

 

cant remeber is the 02' model prior roller cage front end or is it still the hubs? just wondering if the roller cage broke as well in the front end or if the hubs had the issue.

According to the parts diagram the awd is in the front gearcase and not the hubs.

 

i was too lazy to look. so it must have the new roller set up that alot of broken from abuse. dont know if that would be his problem since his light is now working.

If the gguy at the shop said it was fixed and charged you for it, I would go back to him and see what he did to it.
