Nice purchase! Those machines have a good reputation for reliability.

[@jordangaribay9608]

Yea they are really reliable

[@Deerrus]

I’m blown away by your work and craftsmanship. I wish I had your talents!

[@jordangaribay9608]

Thank You very much!

I had a 2005 Yamaha Big Bear as a spare ride, that machine was bullet proof....I would love to come across a deal like this 350.

[@gabrielarsenault4175]

Nice i bought a 94 for 400$ like 6 years ago realy clean and still going strong

[@jordangaribay9608]

Nice and yea these quads are super reliable

I bought a 1997 BIg Bear 350. It needs some work - so I am going to just do what I can. I've got a new battery (a trickle charger and fast connect - auto shut off), 2 new headlights. New material to cover seat. Oil, oil filter, air filter. Gonna clean up front and back rack and paint. and just go from there. Glad to see this. I think mine had a lot more riding done on it - than this one. But looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Thanks much! clean the whole body - get some shine back. Looks good. good job.

[@jordangaribay9608]

Appreciate it! Glad to help

You did a good job cleaning it up too 👍🏻

[@jordangaribay9608]

Thanks!

I rebuilt a 2004 Big Bear, and just finished a 86 Moto 4 for my daughter-very good value for used ATV’s, and parts are both cheap and available!

[@jordangaribay9608]

Nice!

Im working on a project big bear 400, where do you source your parts from? im having a rough time finding what i need

[@jordangaribay9608]

@@AquatechnicLive go on Ebay pull find everything on there

[@michaelshubr4084]

@@AquatechnicLive Ebay had most everything I needed to include upper cylinder head and piston, and lower crankcase / transmission. Some parts were Yamaha, and some Chinese knock offs, but my Big Bear and my daughter’s 86 Moto 4 are 100% working order! Would like to find a 90’s Moto 4 350 Big Bear-the early ones had a much heavier frame, and front end with grease zerts on everything.

[@travharrell1713]

Does anybody know where the serial number for the rear diff is on the 1998 big bear 350 4wd? I have ordered the All Balls Racing rear diff seal and bearing kit from Partzilla and it has the wrong bearing. I sent it back and they sent another and it still has the wrong bearing. I talked to someone at All Balls Racing and he says that it is the right bearing. He thinks that the previous owner replaced the rear diff with one from different model. I don't think so because when I bought it, it was only 5-6years old so I don't think it was. I am trying to get in touch with the guy I bought it from but that was 18 years ago. I found on the Yamaha website what the serial number is for the rear diff but not where the serial number is. I can't see, I am going to try to clean it up some more and see if I can find it but any help would be appreciated.

[@jordangaribay9608]

I don’t sorry, I sold it a while back

[@graafinhetbos]

The tyres are in the wrong direction i think 🤔 i have a timberwolf 250 ,love the old yamaha qoads !

[@jordangaribay9608]

Yea they probably were, I took them off to paint them. I guess i put them on wrong haha.

[@jordangaribay9608]

You can get a used one in good condition on eBay but they are pricey.

Witam to jest śmieszne że macie tak tanie quady 700 dolarów amerykańskich to na złotówki 2700 a u nas chodzą takie po 6, 7 tysięcy i więcej

Very nice

[@project4stroke876]

do people not now how to clean a damn carb?!?!?!?!? OEM is the best way to go for one of these machines....

[@jordangaribay9608]

It already had a Chinese one on, I know how to clean them. But buying a whole new carb was cheaper then rebuilding the one it had on and less work. And oem is the best.

[@gamepower69.]
