I was just wondering who out there has the most miles or KM's on there machine and how the durability held up, i see mine as ROCK SOLID. Its a 2000 and i have 2200 km's on it and have had NOT ONE problem, Sorry headlight burnt. Other than that i have put it through some torture tests and it has passed with flying colours, the dam thing even floats and never sucked in water. I seen a guy over the weekend and he has a 2000 TRAXTER with 9000 km's on it. I just wonder if anyone has that kind of mileage yet on there GRIZZLY's. ALl i know is i don't baby mine and its doing a hell of a job in the DURABILITY department.
I know there is LEMONS everywhere but would like to hear some comments.
2000 Green Grizz
2200 km's

i had a 2000 green grizzly it was the biggest piece of garbage i have ever had. the belt slipped with in a mile of water, it overheated several times the drive selector froze a couple times.When i sold it, it had 500kms on it and the front wheel bearings were shot. so i bought a new sportsman best bike i ever had. I'm not bashin your grizzly maybe mine was a dud! Anyways i hope have many more trouble free miles with your Grizzly!!!

I was kinda curios of that myself. I have a 1999 Grizz with 2500Km and have not had any problems yet. I ride mine mainly on logging roads and go thru the occasional mud bog.

I can't really speak to long term durability as I have only owned my Griz for about 4 months. But in that time I've put about 500 miles on mine, and haven't had a single problem. I ride it really hard also! I can leave this brute in hi range all day long in and out of the mud, and it just keeps going without any problem! This quad is a brick! It takes everything that I can dish out, and keeps coming back for more. It was a Damn good purchase!

I have not heard of any serious problems with the newer Grizzs,they really seem to hold there own.They also appear to be fun to ride to,
