I just got my first 4 wheeler ever. I got a 2007 Yamaha Grizzly 700 with power steering. I've only had it for 2 days but I absolutly love it. Its amazing and just so much fun. I bought it used with about 1000miles on it and I think around 115hours. I did not get an owners manual and I am very religous on maintenance. I like to take care of my veichles and do what I can to make sure they are running like new, and stay running like new for as long as possible. So what exactly do I have to do for maintenance on this? How often is the oil suposed to be changed? And what besides the oil needs to be and should be done? And how often should it all be done?
Also what is the best kind of synthetic oil that I can get for this?


thanks alot guys I appreciate the help

 

Every 1600miles or 160 hours change the oil and filter,change the final and diff gear oil,grease the suspension and driveshafts lithium base grease,,adjust the valves,clean the spark arrester,inspect the belt and spark plug.
Every 20 to 40 hours clean the air filter
every 2 years replace the coolant
you have to make sure any synthetic engine oil is compatable with the wet clutch
Yep it is an awesome machine,had mine a year now no promblems!

Ive been out on that thing everyday and Im in love. I couldnt decide weather I wanted a sport quad or this but Im soo happy I got this cause its just awsome. I could never be this happy with a sport quad. 4x4's rock.

 

I like the yamalube either the semisynthetic(7.99 a qt here) or the full synthetic(10.99 I think)
and your local dealer should be able to get you a service manual and a owners manual.

 

how many quarts does a grizzly 700 take? and is there an oil filter?
Also how hard is it to change the oil in this?

 

I put 4000 miles on a yamaha kodiak before I got my grizzly,wow what a difference and the power steering makes an all day ride easy
2.22 ouarts of oil with the filter ,the filter is on the front of the engine,drain plug is accessed thru a hole in the plate under the
engine.

 

The manual says to clean the air filter with solvent, but does not state the correct product. What is suppose to be used?

 

The shop manual says parts cleaning solvent not gasoline
