Yamaha Grizzly 660 4wheel drive + reverse = :eyecrazy: :eyecrazy: :bash:


flipped it on the pavement in front of the shop backing it out to go wash it.

Was just backing it out, next thing I knew I was laying on the pavement with the quad on its side. Front wheels must turn faster then the back wheels in four wheel drive.

That shouldnt happen. If the front and rear were geared differently it would break the tcase in a truck. i dont know too much about quads though.

^ smaller front wheels + same gear ratio = faster rotation.


edit:

and the older pickups used to have different gear ratios, that is why you would have to back them up to unlock the front dif and t-case. Some jeeps are this way as well, especially rock crawlers since your front wheels do most of the work. not -huge- differences, but different none-the-less.

Didn't think about the wheel size... the rest all of a low top speed in 4x4
