I was thinking about buying a new 2004 yamaha grizzly 660 and i was wondering what the major pros and cons are to this machine. Are all grizzlys automatic or do you have an optionof getting automatic?

 

all automatic

pros:

660cc !!!
selectable 2/4wd
front locker
comfy seat
FAST for a 4x4
looks badass

cons:

dunno.. haven't had any problems yet. prior models had issues, but supposedly, the 04 has all those problems solved.

 

They only come in an automatic for a reason. Manual shifting is quickly becoming a thing of the past.

 

Which is a sad sad state of affairs too.

 

They suck for riding in water. For some reason they still use a belt, and if you get that wet you're not going anywhere soon. And the snorkle for the belt is by the left rear tire which is hard to keep dry. Very poor design if you ask me.

 

Anyone ever tried to shift up a gear while riding fast and hard up a steep grade?

 

my bro had his floating in a lake and it stayed dry as it would on land the only problem he had was getting it to run.. after an hour of messing w/ it everything was fine
