Vladimir Lenin and his Bolshevik followers split from the Menshevik dominated Russian Social Democratic Workers Party in 1906. In other words, the Bolsheviks did not "split from the Mensheviks." Lenin created the Bolshevik faction within the RSDLP in 1903. Then the remaining members began calling themselves Mensheviks. This was a bad tactical move on the part of the Mensheviks, because "mensheviks" means "minorityites" when in fact those members were in the majority.
