Will the 700 with power steering kick back on your arm when you are on rocky trails the same as with out the power. My wife has a hard time on some of the trails in the mountains even for a short distance and wants a new Yamaha or Honda. Both seem to weight much less than our Polaris 500s which might make a difference also. Any ideas please.

 

no it wont

not even a hit like this will knock it outta your hands.

 

look at that tire

 

no the grizzly will not kick back if you have power steering.

 

Thanks for the reply, looks like the wife gets a new toy.

 

Power Steering is the bomb [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

Uh... YES it will... The power steering will act as a dampener for bump steering... but it can still pop the grips otta yer hands... I've done it... a couple times...

That being said... she will LOVE the power steering...

 

The power steering doesn't dampen impacts as much as the precision steering stabilizer I have on a YFZ, or the GPR steering stabilizer I have on a KTM dirt bike, and it isn't adjustable like they are. If you hit something solid enough, with enough force, it can still jerk the handlebars pretty good (I've done it as well). The electric power steering is much easier to drive though, and it does dampen impacts fairly well compared to an ATV without power steering, especially compared to a Sportsman, which tends to have that problem more than some other ATVs.
