Default Grizzly 2004 IRS?

I was just wondering if the Grizzly feals top heavy at all? I love my p650 but I looking for a machine with IRS for my wife and I am considering the grizzly. However I am worried that it will have the top heavy feal to it similar to that of the polaris. I personally hate polaris because of the ride. I feal uneasy on it when I am side hilling. Does the Grizzly feal a little too soft on side hills? Thanks for the info.

any irs quad wwill feel differant from a solid axle quad. the griz feels top heavy next to the prarie. you can tighten up the suspencion and that helps the leaning feeling you get from an irs quad. the griz is also narrow. i got itp rims wwith an offset to them, and it widened me 4 + inchs. all in all though, once your used to it, you beging to realize that in off camber situations, the irs is quite stable. i can go off camber easier than my friend on his prarie becouse i tighten up the springs, but he is scared to do it on my quad, couse he used to the solid axle.

mich660grizz,

Thanks for the reply. Could I get spacers for the stock rims to widen out the tires?
