I have a question on what I should do when I go through high water and mud. Is there anything I should grease or oil more often? Or anything I should keep my eye on? I want to keep it in great shape any information would be great.

 

I'm sure there are other things, but from personal experience on my quad, check and see if your bearings are sealed. If they aren't, I would strongly suggest buying sealed ones from Highlifter.com

 

I rode a lot of water and mud. My swingarm probably needed to be regreased at 1200 miles. I had blown out swingarm bearigns at 1500 because I didn't grease them.

Technically, you should change the front and rear diff fluids more often to be safe, or at least look for water.
You should look in the airbox and the engine oil for signs of water.
Another thig is that you should probably remove the front 4x4 actuator and seal it better than the factory did. Some people are having probs with theirs getting water inside.

 

One thing is for sure and that is you dont have to worry about your gas cap leaking water. Isnt that right nyroc. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

How tough is it to locate and seal up the 4x4 actuator?

 

Its pretty easy to locate. Its the little motor that sits on top of your CVT cover in the front. Mine doesnt leak but I guess you could put a little silicone around the edges where it attaches to the cvt cover.

 

The 4x4 actuator is on the right side of the front differential. This one is low enough, and expensive enough, that you really should take a look at it.

The KEBC actuator is on the belt housing. It could possibly use some sealing along with that belt switch. Most do not leak.

The gas tank has a check valve to keep water out. It seems to work for that. You might consider removing it and running the breather up to the handle bars if you mud a lot.

USing tune up grease (dielectric grease) on all the electrical connections is smart too.

 

Is this swing arm bushing arrangement grease able Jh

 

Not really. You have to remove the swingarm to grease the bearings. It isn't very hard. The only thing is that you had to take off the floar boards and that is a little tedius. The rest of it was cake.

 

Thanks man them bearing must go through a lot of pressure and side load . jh
