Ok Guys...
I have had a new experience this weekend. While riding the rear axles both slipped away from the differential housing. The left side came almost all the way off and the right side moved as well but not as much. I had about 426 pounds on the bike and we were riding across a garden row type terrain with dead logs and stumps as well. I was only traveling at about 4mph under very little power when I felt a slight jolt in the frame of the bike. Never having anything like this happen before, I just ignored it. Two seconds after when I had to power over the next log, only one rear wheel spun. Getting off the bike and walking around the rear to my horror I see the axles slid out and oil leaking out of the left side of the differential!!!! The left one was crooked and way out. I had no idea what to do, so I rolled the bike a little in neutral and tried to reset them with my hands. To my surprise after some severe coaxing they both locked back in place with a very positive sounding click. The oil stopped leaking and they have stayed in the bike... I am seriously perplexed. Any of ya'll ever had this happen??
