When my Grizzly reaches 30 mph it starts reving high but will not go any faster. I dont know if it is my belt or what? Has anyone else had this happen to them or know what is causing it?

Did you happen to get it wet? Could be water trapped in there and causing your belt to slip.

Check you manual for the drail plug locations and drain it out. From what I have read there are 2-3 drain plugs.

Or you could stand it up on its back rack and just let it sit a while. Make sure your turn off your gas first through. This also will drain off the water.

If thats what it is causing the problem.

My Grizzly is a 00' with 1100 miles on it. I took the cover off and the belt is very dry. I dont know if you can tell by looking but it looks ok to me.

i have a 99 grizzly with 400 miles on it my brakes were adjusted to tight when i first picked it up . but i would say if there isn't any water in there it's your clutch, carb or transmission it would be interesting to know what you find out

check the buttons in your secondary clutch. sounds like it is not opening and giving you your higher range

I would have to agree with Daks. Sounds like a clutch problem. One or both of the clutches (drive or driven) is not moving as it should.
