I picked my XYZ 1000 up Wednesday and parked it in my shop. Thursday night there was a 3 inch diameter oil stain on the floor under the rear differential, it lined up with the driver side rear A-arm connect to the frame. The skid plate has a opening were the A-arm connects to the frame. The skid plate has oil on it , it feels like motor oil. Its in the area of the rear differential and I would think the differential would have a heavy gear oil in it. I felt around the differential the drain bolt, the fill bolt, the CV seals and the seam where the two housing cases join together. I am not feeling oil on the rear differential. I cleaned the skid plate and floor Thursday night, Friday morning there was the 2 inch diameter stain on the floor in the same place and the skid plate has oil on it.
I tried to use the tilt steering, I pulled back on the lever and I could not move the steering wheel up and down. The tilt steering is jammed in the full down position.
I started checking the metal bolts on the buggy, I found 7 bolts that where hand tight and I still have not checked all the bolts yet.
I checked the plastic screws, I did not try to tighten any of the plastic screws more, I was just checking that the screws had some resistance. I found 4 plastic screws that are striped out.
On the center console between the seats on top there are two white panels. The aft panel was just lying in place not installed into grommets, I pick up the panel and saw the plastic pegs that go into to grommets. I lined up the pegs and grommets and pushed it into place after this the panel was held down. Before the panel just lying on the the console nothing holding it in place.
The doors when closed move up and down about 0.25 inch. I did not have time to see if there is way to adjust this slop out of the door.
I took the buggy to the dealer today. They worked on the tilt steering while I was there and they fixed the jam, the guy was pulling and pushing on it as hard as he could on the steering wheel the whole buggy was shaking side to side a couple of inches. I told them about the oil leak and showed them the oil on skid plate, he said the oil is residue . I told them if I clean everything up the oil is back the next day. I said he would let sit over night and look at it, but he does not think any thing is wrong. So it looking like I will have to most likely tear the back end apart myself to fix it and at this time there are shop manuals . Dealer said the 0.25 inch slop in the door is normal.
These are things you find on something made in China, I shocked to see this on a Yamaha. At this point I feel like I have made a large mistake.
