400ex blown gear box

[jrich01]

Just got my 400ex 3weeks ago. Tryin to break it in lightly and was riddin today and rear end kept lockin up. Kept ridding and then i couldnt shift out of 1st. then got in to N and thats it 1st and N. so i rode it home in 1st gear and smoke was pourin all over and gear oil all over the place.. and the motor now sounds like its about to blow up. I sure hope they just give me a brand new one or im going to tell them to keep it!!:mad:

that pisses me off.... when i first got my 250 after like 2 months of riden, the crankshaft was all screwed up... but because it was under warenty they fixed it for free

but it took them a month to fix it..... juss gimme anther machine if ur gonna take that long to fix somethin that i coulda done at my house cause there was this lil screw that was clingin against the shaft and it took them a month to figure that out

jrich, keep me posted with what the dealer says caused it...it sure did sound like crap this morning, oil everywhere...of all quads out there, the 400EX would be the last one to pull this (I thought)

They should without a doubt repair or replace the whole quad with no charge.

i said something like that and they were like we will replace motor and whatever else but no new 4wheeler
