so ...who in this forum has a 98 grizzly or an older equivalent model ,that has been to hell and back yet still runs like the day u brought it home from the dealer...these are the types of people i think i can learn a thing or 2 from. i want this machine to last as long as it ca. Although u wont be able to tell by the way i'll be riding it.2006 grizzly already have 1000 km (600 miles) theres so many places to ride around near my cottage i put those clicks(miles) on in only 3 weeks 50 hours engine time. i figure i'll probably do about 6000 miles on it this summer. the cops in cottage country r pretty cool with 4 wheelers even though officially u cant drive them on the roads people take there rhinos rangers and regulars ole 4 wheelers to the local general store or to an outdide terrace for drinks even to the local bar in the winter...they arrive on ski doos in the winter so anyways is it bad to drive my grizzly at highway speeds for long periods ( i dont mean like for 50 or 100 miles but for like a trip to town ...the road is about 10 miles its pretty empty most of the time and i can get the grizzly up to about 102..103.107 once when i was on a slight downgradethats about 65 miles i know im rambling and i gave up on puntuation awhile back but if ur still with me bsically i just wannna know
1.how often and what parts of the machine should i be paying the most attention to on a regular basis as far as cleaning is concerned .
2.does riding my machine on the roads do any damage to drivetrain ??? is it strictly designed to drive on loose surfaces???
(im aware that i'll be burning through rubber faster)
3. after how many miles or kilometeres do these machine show a noticible loss in performance engine and such...
i know that last question has a great deal of variables but what im asking is ...basically when do people who care about that sort of thing say "okay time to get a new machine"???



thank u very much for reading the post and please feel free to post a little off topic if u have any good nasty spring mud pictures. i heard of someone who sucked the tires off the rims around this time of year when he was winching himself out is that even possible or is it b-s apprently the suction pulled the tires right off the rims
