OK, this is my first atv and I'm no engineer but I thought this was strange. Dealer is going over all the features on my new '05 Grizzly with me. He wheels a gas cart into the showroom (it was cold outside). He fills the tank about 4/5ths. Tells me no more than that. When I ride today, understandably, gas guage shows 3 bottom bars black, top bar white.

Now I know the Grizzly isn't the best on gas (saw someone post about 8 mpg - YIKES) but it does have a 5.3 gal tank.

Grizzly owners, 2 questions:
1) Can I fill this tank up (to say, 9/10ths?) and if not, why not? (PLEASE tell me this is NOT about the old "gas boiling" problem or was that Honda?)
2) Approx how many miles can I get on this tank, trail riding, 2 WD hi range only?

Thanks!

 

that makes no sense why couldt you fill it all the way up i would just top it off.

 

cuz they didnt want to spend all the $ in gas , i fill the kodiak up to the top all the time , doesnt hurt them , gas mileage i wouldnt know that sorry

 

I fill mine up to the top everytime, with no problems.

 

i fill mine to the top. when my gas gets low, even with reserve on, it runs bad.... like, boggs when i nail it, then goes.

 

I would have to agree it was just the dealer being cheap. There was talk about the 2000 grizzly 600 having problems, then they fixed it the next year. I always fill my wolverine to the top and never have had a problem.

Thats called polish! You over fill the tank abit to make your plastic look shiny [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Maybe he didn't want to use his shirt to wipe up the spill on the plastics???LOL

 

no the hole in the spout for the gas can does that for me i don't HAVE to try [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] no i mean like ill fill it RIGHT to the edge( not letttign it go out) then run it a min to get it dow na lil( for warmup) (with lid on top just loose) then tighten it
