Blown CV Boot (FIX)
Ok guys, here is a fix for an issue I was told about. Apparently if you run the RZR XP's (not sure of other RZR's) really hard, the rear inner cv boots will get so hot they will expand like a balloon and blow. The guy I got the RZR from told me this.
The Fix: When replacing the boot, take a small hypodermic needle and place it between the boot and the axle. This will vent the heat and keep your boot intact. Happy Riding |
yep. exact same thing on my quad. thats why it blew in the first place.
really is kind of strange they dont have a vent in the rear end to get around this issue. |
pretty neat trick
|
now I just gotta find a needle.

so, you are poking a hole in the protective boot.......
|
not poking a hole in it, simply place the needle between the axle, and the rubber, where the clamp goes on.
my only issue is how would that work when its under water.... |
Exactly, not sure about water. I don't think it would be bad unless you had it submerged for awhile.
|
Yeah, which for me might happen since I'd probably get stuck lmao
Ah well. I'll get the new boot on this weekend and if it keeps bubbling up after burping it a few times I'll try this trick. |
yeah i think i do too much mudding for that trick
|
You could do it, then wrap tape around it and cover the end if your gonna cross streams or go mudding.
|
not a bad idea.
|
The only thing is, the tape would probably have to be pretty strong. If it's building high pressure, I'd think it just blow the tape off.
|
duct tape and zip ties
|
That fixes anything!
