Hi guys I have a question for you, I have a 2000 MM 700 I have the drive axle out of it (track change) any way look at the pic (link) are both of these axles the updated axle with the machine grove in the end of the speedo side?
And did they make a line change on the 2000 that included the drive axle update and the steering stem update it looks like this sled has them already on it. but it still had the junk yokahama track on it so it makes me think this sled wasnt brought in for the updated parts, it only has 3500 miles on it and is in cherry condition.
P.S the one drive axle is brand new with the right part # on it, also I put a file on both and they seem equally hardened.

Updated drive shaft 2001
Ok I found out how to identify the new updated drive shaft (2001 shaft)
Color of shaft is silver in color NOT the gold color that you see all over on yamaha snowmobiles.
On the speedo end of shaft there is a groove on the outer edge of the shaft (looks like it was put on a lathe and started to turn it down (smaller) only one revolution and you can see the tiny spot where the lathe stopped kinda like when threads start or stop on a bolt)
