Default Grizz Accident

Just to let everyone know, I flipped my Grizzly last week after hitting a guard rail with my left tire @ 35 mph (yeah I know that was dumb). It flipped twice, and it kept running. The only fix I need to do is a front end alignment. Very happy with my Grizzly! Oh yeah, I'm okay too, just some bruises!

glad your o.k. not to be a downer, i would check the front frame near the control arms. they are prone to bend or break on rolls or hard hits. not too common to through one out of alignment though.

They are tough, my Bro-in-law was down for Easter long enough to roll my new Grizz for the first time. Bent the racks front and back, but not much other damage. No more letting people ride after that though.

I would imagine you bent some tie rods there too. Don't know what they cost on a Grizz, but I think I paid like $13 for the rod I replaced on my old Arctic Cat.
