Yamaha Help with Gorilla axles?

[tnez10]

I just purchased a 2007 rhino that has a 6.5 long travel setup and Gorilla Axles on the rear. After about 10 mins of driving the rear passenger side axle popped out. Is this a common problem? If so how do I prevent this in the future?

Do you have limiter straps or any other form of travel limiters?

it should not pop out, but this is not uncommon with gorillas.

BTW which 6.5 Kit do you have?

We have had our share of Gorilla axles come in our service center lately with the same issues.

Is there a fix? or should I scrap the Gorillas for something else. I'm eventually going to do an R1 swap but don't want to deal with this popping out issue in the meantime.
