Yamaha UTV/ATV & Side by Side Balance Shaft - Available at buywitchdoctors.com

Product Specifications: Genuine OEM Yamaha Balance Weight Metal, Part # 2S3-11413-30-00.

Keep your machine running like new with a genuine Yamaha Balance Shaft paired with premium maintenance parts from buywitchdoctors.com. The balance shaft is a weighted shaft inside the engine that spins in time with the crankshaft to cancel out the natural vibration created by the pistons and rods, keeping the engine smooth and reducing stress on mounts, hardware, and your hands and feet. A healthy balance shaft helps the engine run quietly and evenly across the rev range, which protects nearby components from fatigue. Riders most often replace a balance shaft after increased engine vibration or a buzzing feel through the handlebars, floorboards, or seat, a rattling, whining, or ticking noise from the engine case, worn or damaged bearings or gear teeth, metal particles in the oil, a shaft that was damaged during an engine failure, or any time the engine is opened for a bottom-end rebuild.

Why Choose Genuine OEM Yamaha Parts?

Choosing original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts ensures your vehicle maintains its factory-standard performance, reliability, and fuel efficiency. Genuine parts eliminate the guesswork of aftermarket alternatives, offering a seamless integration with your engine's configuration.

  • Exact-Fit Design: Matched to Yamaha's original bolt patterns, sealing surfaces, and dimensions for a leak-resistant fit.
  • Factory-Spec Quality: Built to the same standards as the parts installed on your machine at the factory.
  • Peace of Mind: Skip the trial and error of universal or aftermarket parts that may not seal or align correctly.

Premium Materials & Precision Engineering

Crafted to strict factory tolerances, these components utilize high-grade alloys and chemical-resistant seals. This specialized engineering withstands harsh off-road vibrations, extreme temperatures, and modern fuel additives, preventing premature wear and leaks. The balance shaft is made from hardened, fatigue-resistant steel with precisely machined, balanced weights, ground bearing journals, and accurately cut gear teeth, so it spins true and in correct timing with the crankshaft, cancels vibration effectively, and resists wear under high speed and constant load.

Comprehensive Model Fitment (2015-Current)

Other Popular Parts & Secondary Accessories

  • Crankcase & Components: The crankcase houses the balance shaft in its own bearing bores and keeps it aligned with the crank. Inspect the bores, mating surfaces, and bolt holes for wear or damage whenever the engine is split so the new shaft seats and spins true.
  • Crankshafts: The crankshaft drives the balance shaft, and the two must stay correctly timed to cancel vibration. If you replace a balance shaft after bottom-end damage, inspect the crank for scoring or bends at the same time.
  • Connecting Rods & Components: The connecting rods link the pistons to the crank, and the forces they create are what the balance shaft is there to offset. Check the rods, bearings, and related parts for wear whenever the engine is apart so the whole bottom end works together.
  • Engine Gaskets & Oil Seals: Engine gaskets and oil seals keep oil in and contaminants out around the case and covers. Replace them whenever the engine is opened for balance shaft service so your rebuild starts leak-free.
  • Grease & Lubes: Fresh assembly grease and lubricants protect bearings, gears, and sealing surfaces during reassembly and first startup. Use the products your Yamaha service manual specifies so your new shaft starts out properly protected.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: How do I know when my Yamaha balance shaft needs to be replaced, and how do I confirm the right one for my machine?
A: Watch for new or increased engine vibration, a buzzing feel through the controls or floorboards, whining, rattling, or ticking from the case, metal particles in the oil, or damaged gear teeth and bearing journals found during a teardown. Before replacing the shaft, check the oil condition, engine mounts, and the crankshaft and bearings, since other problems can cause similar vibration. Because balance shafts vary by model, model year, and engine, and not every engine uses one, confirm the correct part, timing marks, and assembly procedure using your Yamaha service manual or factory schematic, or contact us with your model and VIN and we will help you match it.

Q: How do mud, water, sand, and heat affect a balance shaft on the trail?
A: The balance shaft lives inside the engine, so harsh conditions affect it indirectly. Water or dust getting past the intake or breather can contaminate the oil, and heat or low oil can starve the bearings and cause rapid wear. Keep your air filter and breather lines clean and sealed, change oil on schedule, and after deep water crossings check for milky oil or new vibration. Follow your Yamaha service manual for correct service intervals and water-crossing guidance.
