My dealer told me it would be 4 weeks before they could even schedule me to look at my broken front and rear axle to see if warranty would cover it. Then he went on to say that the rear axle has no known date for availability. Ended up saying screw it and ordered 4 Rhino 2.0 since they had them in stock. Hoping to get them installed this week.

How did you break your axles?

should have winched instead of hammering too hard to get up a severely rutted steep muddy hill in diff lock

WolvymanX4, did Super ATV end up warrantying the axles or giving you a refund?
I know he posted he would stand behind them.

Still haven't dove into any of that. I've had lots going on lately. I really need to get started on that though.

PremierPOWER I hope you you have better luck than I did. let us know.

Don't you worry buddy. He knows I'll take care of him.

I got an in stock alert for the RMAX4 rear axle this morning. Didn't click on it and don't know if they're still available but they were. lol

Well it looks like I’m joining the knocking club. Sounds like it’s the rear passenger side. Ordered a rhino axle that won’t be here till next week though. Has anyone actually have an axle blow apart that was making the knocking noise? Just scared it’s hurting something in the rear end since no one seems to find a problem with the axle except for the noise.

Bummer man. Keep us posted on how things work out.

My rmax4 stock rears are knocking badly. Im on the high end with pre load but within spec. I might try and go to the low limit and see if it changes any.

Finally had time to tear into my axle noise. Might not be the axle at all. Major play in the control arm bushings. Definitely a clunk . Not sure what could cause play in them since they are solid sleeves. Any ideas ?

 

[Caper2020]

So to give an update on the rear clunk it ended up being the axle. Changed it with a rhino 2.0 and the noise is gone. I plan on taking the old axle to a drive line shop and get them to tear it apart to see why it’s clunking. Can’t see anything wrong with it myself. The control arm bushings were also very loose and needed a lot of grease. Apparently they weren’t getting enough grease through the grease fittings when I greased them,

 

[cody191]

So i finally got around to lowering my preload to see if it changed anything with the clunk. It was at the max. I went to the middle of the range and it’s still making the clunk sound. So I guess I’m in the bad axle club with less than 1000 miles.

Question for those who’ve fixed this already. It clunks on right turns but not left. I’m assuming it’s the passenger rear axle that’s faulty. What do you think? Don’t want to pull the wrong side for no reason.

Based on my past with a different machine I’d agree with that, however it should be easy to confirm if you just have someone drive it in a tight circle slowly while you walk along side and listen.

 

[Xflight]

Has anyone ever had the clunking sound and then one fail? I have a friend that has clunking from about a week after purchase [ 1 year ago ] and now has over 1400 miles on the machine with it still clunking and nothing has come about it.

So a few weeks ago on the RMAX FB group there was a guy with an RMAX4 that had just installed Rhino 2.0 axles and was having a CV knocking on his rear passenger side. One other person also chimed in with a video of their Rhino 2.0 doing the same thing. I had chimed in on that post saying that I had just installed them without any knocking issues. I would put a link to that video but it was a FB upload not a Youtube so I couldn't figure a way to do it. But three rides after my installation I am now having the same issue on my drivers side rear axle. I already changed the passenger side twice because the first one I put in had a hole in the inner boot right out of the box. SuperATV was awesome and warrantied it right away but now this on the drivers side. I am tired of changing axles and not being able to ride. I haven't contacted them on this one yet due to my work schedule lately but here is a video of me going down my street. You can hear it distinctly though. I'm not sure if they had received a bad batch or what but so far I am not impressed with these axles.

I took my 22 RMAX4 into the dealer for knocking stock cv joints after about 1300 miles of riding. Initially they tried ordering Yamaha axles but found they were on an infinite backorder. They asked me if I'd be ok with them ordering the Rhino axles instead so a agreed. Upon installing the new Rhino axles they had the same knocking experience as in your video and returned the axles to SuperATV.
Luckily my dealer tried a new set of factory axles off one of their managers machines and no more noise. I'm now waiting almost three months for Yamaha to find some stock axles so I can actually ride my machine again very frustrating.

Did they re-install the OEM clicking axles?
That’s what I would do, I then I’d be riding the whole time I’m waiting on replacements.

 

[Caper2020]

The clunking noise came back in mine after one ride. It only clunks the first km or so and then goes away till the next ride. I decided to just drive it till something breaks or it gets way worse. Funny how it disappears as it warms up and also if I have weight in the back, which makes it seem the angle of the axle is to blame. It's disappointing to say the least.

That's excatly what I would do too. May last a mile or may last 100s miles (more likely) but I wouldn't be waiting 3 months and not at least trying to ride.
