I had the bike on the jack changing the gear oil in the rear end and tried starting it while on the jack to turn the tire with the motor. It cranked but when I put it in gear it died. I tried cranking it again without any luck. Now, when the key is tuned on, it will not do anything. No lights, no horn, no fuel pump, fuse on battery is changed and good. Kill switch on proper position, kickstand down, cluck engaged? I have not checked the spark plug?? No electrical power at all? Anyone have suggestions? Thanks
If you're getting no lights then it is either the ignition switch or the battery is not making connection. Check the battery with a multi-meter. Check the fusebox with a multi-meter, any power to any fuses there with key on?

You have to determine whether its just thr brake parts rusted or the bearings in the rear end and axles. Drain the gear oil from the rear end to see if there's any water in it.If it seems ok then put new gear oil back in and try this: Jack both wheels off the ground and put it on jack stands. Try breaking it loose by rapidly changing gears from reverse to drive and stomp on the accelerator. If it breaks loose that way it will be easier to get to the brake parts to see what needs to be replaced.
Check the tire inflation. Also, if you can jack the tire up off the ground, rotate the tire and feel across the top of the tread. If there seems to be any high/low spots or feeling of side-to-side tread movement, you may have a separated belt in the tire. This can cause the "loose" feeling you are getting.
Yes, the oil reservior separates from the wheel assembly.Here is the whole process for removing the rear wheel assembly.In order to remove the rear wheel assembly, you are going to need a motorcycle lifting jack stand or similar device.
1. Stand the bike on the side stand
On the left side of the rear wheel:
2. Remove the two forward facing bolts. 3. Remove the allen head bolt with the wide head. On the right side of the rear wheel:
4. Remove the brake adjuster nut on the end of the actuating lever. 5. Remove the Toque link nut at the bottom of the wheel assembly. 6. Remove the axle nut (castle nut and cotter pin). Move aside the now loose plastic former on the left side of the bike and remove the axle from that side. You will need to hold the castle nut while loosening the axle.
7. Place the motorcycle jack under the swing arm or chassis tubes to stabilize the rear end. Lift the motorcycle until the rear tire is just off the ground. 8. Remove the axle. When you remove the axle, the spacer under the left side cover will probably fall out. 9. Remove the three cap nuts (left side) and use a screwdriver to gently pry the wheel from the splined drive gear and place the wheel assembly on the ground. 10. Pull the wheel assembly rearward.
Reverse the process to replace the wheel.Check the level of the final drive oil and fill as needed with SAE90 hypoid gear oil with a GL-5 rating.While you have everything apart, you should also check the brake pads and wheel bearings for wear and replace if necessary.God Bless and good luck!
I purchased a 2000 Honda Foreman 4x4 and changed all fluids. I put synthetic differential oil in the front and rear differentials.
The problem I am have after about 6 months is the front wheels are not pulling like they use to.
Before I changed the fluids with the front wheels jacked up I could not turn the front wheels but now with very little effort I can turn the front wheels.
Did I make a mistake in using the synthetic oil and if so what is my recourse?
Put rear tire's on jack stand's, remove left rear tire, brake caliper and bracket and slide off brake rotor, then remove rear end cover get a pan for fluid to drain into,there will be a set of gear's through the gear's on the right side of the ring gear there will be a pin about 13/4" in dim. and about 5" long at one of the end's there will be a small bolt that hold's that pin with an 8mm head going through it, remove that bolt,slide pin out, go over to axle push in (do not turn axle) go back under truck remove horse shoes clip at end of axle, then side axle out, install new axle and refill with gear oil some take a anti-slip additive.Goodluck
