Replacing one of the front lower boots on a '11 700 grizz and not sure where to source the part. This is my first service job on this bike or on an atv period. I'd like to get at least OEM, but if there's something better that's not too much more I'd probably go for that. What's the best place to source this part w/ the best price? So far I've found...

And last, I've watched a couple youtube vids on doing the boot swap and seems fairly simply. To change out the lower boot you have to remove the whole axle (jerk it out), take the top boot off, dismantle the top side, then replace the bottom boot from the opposite side. But when they go to put the axle back in I haven't seen anyone mention regreasing the splines of the axle before reinserting? Surely this is just something they've left out. What type of grease should be used here?

Also, any tips on doing this job much appreciated!

 

For smaller orders less than $100.00 I have had good luck with amazon (I have a prime account.) Otherwise motosport or Rocky Mountain get most of my business. While you are at it, I would order a service manual as it will address the grease issue, torque specs etc. Worth the $ and I own at least a Clymer for every atv I have.

 

You can also check cheapcycleparts.com and cyclepartswarehouse.com for Yamaha parts. I don't know where to get a factory service manual put that would probably be the best kind to have.
