Engine Shut Down when Switching 4wd

I have a 21’ Rmax4 XTR with 4,000 miles on it and love every minute riding it.

Last weekend I was riding in WV and the machine would shut down whenever I would switch the 4wd. Happen from 2 wheel to 4 wheel and 4 wheel to 2 wheel. It cut off on me going down a hill coasting too. I noticed the yellow “check engine” light would come on after the engine turned off. I would have to turn the key off and crank it up. It would crank like normal.

I’m curious if this has happened to anyone else and if there is a fix I can do myself or take it to the dealership?

Other than terrible rear axles I haven’t had any issues for 4K miles.

Any suggestions or feedback would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hawgghead,

Who is your 3rd party warranty through? Mine is through MCW http://www.mechanicschoicewarranty.com/

I haven’t needed to use mine yet. Dealer told me me my unit did not qualify for the Yamaha YES warranty because it was ordered as a commercial unit from Yamaha.
