Yamaha Grizzly 700 front differential issue fix! 

It's only a matter of time with a drain plug like that. Such a silly choice by Yamaha

Thank you !

Sucks , but glad you got the new one coming!

I kinda might have over tightened the front fill bolt. do you know if there's a better fill plug for the front diff?

Yep you'll be good to go with that plug no worries don't need to tap or clean out anything because the factory plug only uses those last two threads there's plenty of thread left

Yea its definitely an odd choice for a drain bolt. Mine was striped coming out so there was no way i was getting another oem one.

You're welcome

Thats Larry! 👍🏻👍🏻

Yea i was quite surprised.

I agree 👍🏻

Hey thanks, no rear plug is significantly bigger.

There's no change that I know of to the 2024 grizzly front differential should be exactly the same

No mine just threaded straight in no problems once it gets past the first two threads that are bad and catches the clean threads should be fine.

@@OdysseyOffroad good thanks :)

The fill plug? I've never heard of anybody having an issue with the fill plug but I would just buy another OEM one all you have to do is make those snug. The drain plug is the big issue.

No it was not.

thanks for the reply!@@OdysseyOffroad

You'll be fine till you drop the fluid for the first time and you may even be fine after that mine was unfortunately stripped it was only finger tight when I took it out.

@@OdysseyOffroad thanks getting my new 23 EPS Se Delivered tomorrow

@@JeramyC92 sweet enjoy it! Its a great machine!

No it works perfect and there's a link for it already in the video description..

@@OdysseyOffroad Subscribed as I have two of these 700's. I don't think the rear plug is the same threads. they are larger hex bits. one is a 5mm and one is a 6mm i think.

@@factionfx yeah the rear one is perfectly fine.

Hi leroy! I think it looks better without the front rack and i do all my own service and maintenance 🤙🏻

No there is no magnet on the rear one either.

different sizes.

No

Yeah I already have the gold plug so I'm not going to use it long term. Next time I change the fluid I'll put the gold plug in there but it was good bolt in a pinch and it served its purpose. I think as long as you don't overtorque them you're fine but since I already have the gold plug I'll swap it out next fluid change which probably be soon. I'm going on a big trip so I'd like to change them one more time they're always dirty after the initial change and the break in.

@@OdysseyOffroad Not to tell you what to do, but id go for a while before you change it again... if you've already changed out the original break in oil on the front diff you should be good for quite some time after that... If im not mistaken, i think the manual says something like at 4000 miles till the next one for the front differential... Your chances of stripping it or having problems greatly increase the more you do it... If its not needed I wouldn't worry about it. I think the original oil is like more of a mineral oil to help it all mesh together properly on break in initially so its recommended to change it out soon after the break in miles are over, otherwise diff oil lasts a really long time... after your first change you shouldn't have to worry about it for a good while.

@@brennenlee7715 correct yeah you don't have to do it for a long time but I like to make sure it's clean lol I'm a little bit crazy. that original oil comes out so dirty I did it on my rmax also haha. We'll see I may wait till after my trip and then change them again.

@@OdysseyOffroad I feel where you're coming from and you're spot on about this plug being way too short. Its pretty ridiculous

😂😂

Haha maybe

Check the description of the video there's a link all the info is there. M10 x 1.25

@@OdysseyOffroad thank u

Just a quick ? Is there enough room inside diff for the extra threads?

@@nortonashburn6119 Yes as I explained in the video there's probably almost a full inch of threaded material in the diff that's why it's crazy the bolt they chose to use.

Ok thank u. Picking up new camo grizz tomorow. Cheers

Or nuts.

@@OdysseyOffroad LOL

What exactly are you calling bullshit on then? I'm confused by your statement of calling bullshit.

Thanks for the comment, that's my video style. Dont like it move on 👋🏻

Yes rear gold plug has a magnet also.
