So i just got a new 04 grizzly and the first day out the temp light went and when i was ridding then used the breaks i heard a RATTLING noise! I thought it was nothing so i brought it back to the dealer and the mechanic took it for a test ride and said that it could be the transfer gear and he would have to take the bike and the engin apart. so long story short they found nothing wrong with the bike had to have the gaskets overnighted so i could get it back within a reasonable time and i called yamaha customer support and basically they told me that its just part of the bike some make a rattle and some don't. They didn't offer me anything asfar as a free oil change or a Y.E.S. contract at a discount or anything. I am very dissapointed with yammi and now i feel like my bike is a lemon. I'm FRICK'EN PISSED!
does anyone else have this problem?????

 

if your talking about the noise when you hit the back breaks,its normal .mine and everyones i no does it.
one buddy has 2300 miles on his, has done it since day 1 .basicly its drive line slap.
i bought a new kodiak last year , it had broke 9 ,YES 9 times in 252 miles and 4 months .I can tell you all about
how the dealers dont give a ----.the last straw was when the 500.00 head had to be replaced.thats when they
kept it and i brought a new grizzly home . now 340 miles later i havent broke down yet. so even with the rattly back
breaks ,if you give a chance youll love it ,But if it keeps having probblems get rid of it ,ill under stand.
PS. i ride with 8 other grizzlys, some of wich have been thrashed pretty good.the only common problem
we have is head light bulbs. good luck

 

My Kodiak used to rattle if you locked the breaks up. Two of my buddies Grizzlies do the same thing. My brand new Vinson does the same thing. I think it has something to do with the EBS trying to work while you are using the brakes.


Don't worry about it. It's fine.

 

my grizz does the same thing , mech at dealer says if you hit the brakes going at higher speeds the clutch is trying to catch up and its just the weights moving.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
