CV Axle Bearing Nightmare – What the Diagram Doesn’t Show! (Kawasaki & Suzuki ATV Fix)

The exploded diagram said this would be easy… it lied.

A customer tried replacing his CV axle, but once the shaft was out, the differential bearing was toast.

The diagram made it look simple—but the real machine had a hidden twist that turned this into a full-blown teardown.

In this video, I walk you through the actual fix for a front differential bearing on select Kawasaki Prairie and Suzuki Twin Peaks ATVs.

If you’re working on a KVF650, KVF700, or LT-V700 (2002–2011), this guide will save you time, frustration, and a few choice words.
