Your cam cover story is the very reason I ought to have shares in Loctite. I bathe fasteners in it. Yes, I learned the hard way too.

Good news on the synthetic gear oil. Did you use 75W90? I'm using it in my daughter's quad, and it hasn't missed a beat. When you first reported the vent tube and seal issue, my guess was that it was over-filled from the factory.

I think I've examined a quad just like yours next to a Yamaha Bruin; they were virtually identical. The Bruin had two headlights instead of four, and the Bruin had some sensor on the left side engine case that wasn't drilled and tapped on the MIC unit (low oil pressure shut off maybe?). Everything else, including the winch mount, suspension and hardware was all the same.
