Happened a week ago and Bardwell Yamaha tore it down to see what all happened.Busted the cases and the usual internal parts that goes along with this problem.I thought it was going to be in the 3600 dollar range but he told me 1700 for parts and labor..
I think that is a good price from what I have heard from other members who had the same problem...
I should have it back in about 2 weeks,so I am going through withdrawl right now...

Yeah it is good to have a dealer that won't take advantage of his customers....

I had the same thing happen, I took my mine to lucedale miss an had head work done,mudbuster cam , raptor springs ,686 piston at 10.5 comp and h -beam rod and the alba middle support plate for 2200.I had to pull and reinstall engine though.Yamaha would not upgrade the rod or bering support for me.

Is this only on the 660's or also happening to the 700's?

Really I thought there was someone on here with an 07 that had a broken middle drive gear. That would be pretty sweet if it really was redone in 07.

I was in four wheel drive hammering across a rocky very soft sandbar when it started to dig.I had my foot on the gas and when the suction from the soft rocky sandy bottom sucked me down it popped.No jumping just popped.
I have over 3500 miles on it and 3 mudnats two Marengo rides and countless foot on the pedal mud rides so I guess I can't cry to much.

THE xtr's are almost as heavy as an Outlaw but with less grip.....
