Riding on sunday i got into the deepest thickest mud ive ever gotten into with the xmr. Ive never knoticed only having one tire spin in the front. Usually always slings posi, but when i was in the real thick stuff it would only spin one at a time. I also got into some very off camber situations causing one of the front tires to come off the ground, when ive gotton into those situations b4 ive been able to get out because both front tires would spin. But yesterday only the tire in the air would turn. I kno the front diff arnt 100% locked but its almost always spinn both tires. Also when the tire in the air would spin and the other not, i would hear a "rubbing" sound, no grinding, poping, clicking sounds were heard. Is that a normal sound from the front diff? Whats in the front diff, what really is a viscolok? In lighter mud the bike would sling all 4 tires no prob,
Front diff.... Noise

Hello, easter europe here
, but I have the same problem, I did not get it is the visco lock doing the sound ? Sound is bad but can it ruin something else if I ride on ?I had the front left tire not spinning on mine as well recently. I had it stuck in muskeg as high as the tires. I thought I had broken something but couldn't find anything broken. I was with a dozen can am owners and they all said that it's normal on the front diff when you get stuck bad. I have been through a few good mud pits since and it's still working
Yea, ive learned its not a true locking diff like can am makes it seam to be. My friends new can am. Does seam to lock better then mine does but mine still works fine for what i do. What i have noticed is that on a diff with less miles it will still let one tire spin in the right situation but fosent have the sound that mine makes. Ut my bike is also 2 yeArs old now
Eather way it still works, IMHO when it truely does fail send it out and have a halo locker put in, thats what ill be doing atleast. But untill then.....:aniwheeler6:

Guys there is an internal thrust washer inside the differential, that have 4 locking teeth that lock into the internal gear when the differential is clicking that is the internal washer when the differential is grinding or whining that is the clutch pack.

It's never good, not saying it won't last a little while longer but when it starts making noise it's on its way out how far out ? no one knows. But it's not right

They changed out the whole diff because of a part number change and mine was the previous, obsolete number.

Now just need to pull the intermittent shaft and put the speedy sleeve on the wear ring.

Why not just cut off the wear ring and replace it? They're cheapy cheap.

Do not hit yourself, if you had purchased the extra warranty then the problem would have arisen only after the extra warrenty has ended
