Since I have tried to call kymco for the last week and a half with no returned call I decided to tear it down myself.  I found that the clip on the end of the axle was gone.  This allows the axle to push off the gear for the lock.  I got paranoid and thought maybe it broke and fell inside the diff so I tore the diff out and broke it open.  I did not find the clip so this tells me the dealer did not put it on the axle when they did the previous work. 

They would not help me since they dropped the kymco line... Wanyesburg Yamaha in Pa.

Just wanted to share incase someone has a problem like this in the future.   

Can anyone tell me which side is which for the front axles.  One has a blue sticker and the other has a red.  I read on a prowler from if the axles are reversed then the lock won’t work. 

I don't have any experience with removing the engine from a 700, but I know on my RZR when I removed the tranny it was easier to remove the front tiff to gain room to slide the driveshafts out. Not sure if that'll help.

Thanks man, we need to get some bumpers and a roof on that rig. I'm also a rep for Pacific Eagle UTV enclosures so let me know when you're ready for a windshield for your UXV450i and I can get you a better deal on them.

Here is a link to the windshields and enclosures.

Hopefully soon.  I also have a 3 month old at home.  Lol.  Really like the looks of your half front bumper.  Probably go with that. 

I have also thought about a skid.   I was the one they build from Kymco for 600. That's a little steep.   I'm going to check on the cost of aluminum and see about making my own.  I may look into a sheet of uhmw as well.

Where does the front bumper bolt to the frame?

Honestly I don't know if drilling a couple small holes in the frame will hurt integrity.  It's pretty beefy for the weight of the Kymco.  I think I will drill a couple to make sure water is out.  I take my 2 year old down to a creek to play multiple times a week. The road down has 2 creek crossings. 

Hi. 

   I just went through this same decision.  After speaking with the dealer, I went with the base.  I got a super winch online for $99 and really didn't care about wheels or paint to scratch up.  The roof your going to pay for regardless.  If you look on Kymco's website, under the picture it actually says its not standard so the dealer adds on the price.  Conceiving since its pictured, I know.   It's geared really well and won't power out.  It'll spin.
