Just got a grizz and the only problem i can see is that when I am at a dead stop and floor it, it will sputter for 2-3 seconds before taking off. What could be the problem? After 4 mph, the thing takes off like it should! Input will be greatly appreciated

Sounds like a jetting issue. Any mods or is the quad mostly stock? How does it start and idle?

If you havn't changed anything on it and it just started doing it, you could have a clogged fuel filter, dirt in the bowl, got a batch of bad gas, a pinched breather or fuel line.

More information is needed to be able to help you. =]

Take it back to the dealer and tell'em you didn't spend that kind of money for a 3 second delay. It's a jetting issuie/fuel screw needs fine adjustment. They should be able to fix it in a matter of a few minuites.

If it only takes minutes, i would rather save the trip and learn to do it myself. How would i check the jetting / adjust the fuel screw. I gotta learn sometime ; )

The cold starting and engine warm up can be normal... but if it takes a while... then the valves might be sticking a bit... This quad is brand new?

Does it idle fine once its heated up? Im thinkin your idle is a lil low. My banshee was the same way from the stealership.
