My only saving grace is the machine only has less than 300 miles.

You may want to check this unit out.

If it is true to only needing bearings that is cheap and easy. I would tie off with that person to verify exactly the condition and what it needs and maybe better pictures. Maybe you can take yours and this one and make one?

Reading the seller's description makes me to think that there is not much usable parts left for the original poster because the seller ran the gear box without the oil. The spider gears and the stationary shaft are typically toasted in such case. Maybe you can salvage out some of the clutch plates which you don't need.

At this time this is the only one I can find. I have seen beter ones for less. Just depends how fast you want to be up and running. I'll keep my eyes open.

Just curious...when changing the front diff on a BF 750, is it normal to have a slight glitter look on a newer machine. (like first change or two) I just looked at this posting for the first time, and noticed comments regarding front diff lube having metal in it. I remember my first change had slight metalic haze, I asked a couple people at the time and they said it was normal break-in from the plates.
I have used Amsoil 10w40 for the first couple of changes, but it did seem to be underfilled from the factory. Proababy just being paranoid, but any thoughts? Sounds like a bunch of front diff experts on this posting!

No real surprise but Suzuki gunned me down just because of the time factor. I guess I see their point, where do you draw the line. The dealer was not anymore helpful. The independent who is working on it is going to discount as much as he can because he definetly feels it is manufacturers defect.
His feeling is it only has 270 miles and the problem is not lack of lubrication or heat like Suzuki says. It almost cost me $5 a mile to drive this thing.
