Does anyone know if they have improved the problems Yamaha had with the 03' Grizzly axles? I have an 05' and a friend with an 03' that he has axle problems with. Just want to know what to expect

 

I have an 05 with 26" mide lites and have had it in some high traction spots and used full throttle and haven't broke one yet.....lets keep our fingers crossed[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Yep, 03 was the year of bad axles. Better in 02, bad for 03, reverted back for 04. Basically a cost cutting exercise that didnt pan out.

 

I was choked when I went on my first ride on my "03 and broke both front axles. I admit I was riding it aggressively but not abuse by any means. The second one went when I was on my way back out and need the 4x4. I understand that was bound to happen. Expensive to go heavy duty but I think worth the cost.
