How many zerks are on the 660? I just read in the Kawasaki forum that the P-650 doesn't have any! I'm not sure whether that is a good thing or not.
I'm kinda torn between the P-650 and the Grizzly.
I'm partial to Yamaha since that is all I have ever owned (except for the Polaris Exporer)and I want the Canadian Blue Grizzly bad since it looks great and is rare in the states, plus the grizzly has more ground clearance. However all the limiters I keep hearing about are kinda detering me.
I can get the P-650 for a cheaper price then the Grizzly but I hear lots of people say they have belt and clutch problems. I know it is faster and more sporty but it just doesn't have the good looks or ground clearance that the Grizzly has IMO.

My 600 is far from gutless and I'm sure the 660 has more power than that so the power should be fine.
I haven't had a chance to ride either machine yet, but I will in time. I don't plan on buying until the first of Septemeber or October so I am just getting word of mouth now.
I appreciate all reply's

 

there is 2 fittings on the rear driveshaft, and 2 on each rear tire, right behind the rims.
the limiters are vary easly bypassable, if need be. cost is about 6 or 7 dollars, and time is as long as 1/2 hour, if your slow. lol.
to me, both quads are ausome, and i would not have been dissapointed with either. i chose the grizzly, couse of its ease of use and irs. the prarie's engine is ausome, but the grizzly aint a slouch either. most will agree, it can stay withing a quad of the prarie. that is not enough power loss to sway me to a solid rear axle and low ground clearance. of corse, i ride trails that use the irs to its fullest!good luck!

Front drive shaft Mich660( has the U-joints with zerks.) The limiters are bypassable, with some jerrymandering. Out of the box, the grizz does mid 60's mph in 2wd, low 60's in 4wd, 22 in locked, and it must be nearly stopped to engage the full locking, 2x4-4x4 switching can by done on the fly to some speed. Lastly reverse is dead slow, I guess they think that bubba is gonna eat dirt if he hammers reverse in 4wd without a limiter.( kind of like a crash dummy doing the wrong exit thing )

edit added: 6 zerks total, but more areas need lube that just that. Wheel bearings are reasonably sealed and shielded. The stearing stem uses a sealed bearing at the bottom, the ball/tie joints are all sealed but can be greased with a needle. I haven't poked into the IRS/IFS frame bushings, I dunno how long they'll hold up, (my hondas are good at 1900 miles though.) The IRS knuckle bushing have four zerks but they're sealed okay, when I push the old grease out it still seems clean after a few mud/water dunkings. The rear brake pivot assembly needs lube too.

A prepakaged review I posted elseware recently, from a slightly different set a questions but what the hey, bandwidth's cheap.
-----------------
I've tipped the 500 mile mark on my grizz, and yes I love it, I feel I can give a review of it now. I have torn three front CV boots in those 500 miles, it seems that do to brake design it's difficult to protect the grizz's CV boots from tears during trail blazing activities(read running down brush and trees intentionally.) The grizz doesn't like to be airborne too much, it's suspension soaks up far too much of a launch and it always seems to short jump, even if taking jumps 5 mph faster and under heavier throttle than smaller quads. It has a few unrefined "clunk" noises. The shifter works properly but coming to a full stop seems best and don't engage with any RPM above idle(it's better than that rotten D--- AC case mounted range shifter though). It seems to have a mixture problem when working hot, hard and slow, I've not rejetted it yet, not sure what needs to be done. It's steering has more than a little feedback on certain terrain hits. The rear disk brake seems weak and gets air in the line easily... Now for the good...It's got power and speed, about 65-67mph OutOfBox( not from an AC wonderometer either. ) If you're worried about wheel torque per se it'll do burnouts on concrete pavement ect. It's ride is superb. It's clearance is good, around a foot similar to the (500I's) it's mud and obstacle happy with a flat belly and good clearance and power. It turns very tight and light in 2wd ( okay zero turning radius after you have a donut started...which can be done on many surfaces.) It has true locking 4x4 when needed, including downhill crawls, either brake works on all four wheels at equal speed for solid control in poor terrain(no worrying about front brake/back brake grabs, unless you want-in other drive modes), besides a standard limited slip 4x4 mode that works to full speed(2wd, to 4wd can be engaged with button on the fly at speed, but for locking all four you need to nearly stop, also done by button). It'll also crawls well, it develops power to pull itself at 30 degrees+ up as slow as 3 mph, (that's something my rancher won't do, it'll climb like hell but you better be ready to have throttle on it in low gear to 10 mph or so.) It's hearty sized fuel tank lasts a while, even if in poor economy. It's Raptor bred motor accepts most all raptor top end/cylinder mods, allowing for much more power, up to about 65 ute HP potential. This thing looks good even if the plastic fit sure ain't honda. The belt? I asked the head maintenence guy at my dealer, so how much is the belt?, he said, "I dunno, never put one in..."

 

small mistake on the drive shaft, it is the front.
elrancho. i agree with you on the thoughts of the griz exept 1. i think the grizzly jumps great!!! he!!, i jump it alot easier than i did on my worrior. for a 4x4 quad, i would like to see another one match me in the air! polaris 500 and 700 crush down, due to weight. the praries front suspencion also lands hard if jumping ove 4 ft high and 20 ft long. i have had mine over 6 ft high, and 30 ft long, without ever being surprised at how it sails. vary reliable in the air, and smoother than most, if not all other 4x4 quads. i wouldn,t hesitate on taking her 40 or 45 ft through the air, if i had a smooth takeoff, and a sloping landing. just my opinion though.

I have indeed seen your flying pictures, I think they're great, I need to play with my suspension a bit more, maybe I can make my bear fly yet, but for now it trakes a big back seat to my Kent Clark Rancher.

 

i put the front suspencion all the way up, and the rear 1 from the top. i found this to be the best setup for my weight, as well as in the deep mud and ruts.
