I also just got my new 450 grizzly 07 last week. Took it for a soft ride on Saturday, only 40 miles. I did not notice any strange vibration but I was not looking for it and this is my very first ATV, so my experience is zilch I will be riding it this week again and I will certainly look into that and give you some feedback. The other riders were on much bigger ATV's and they were very impressed with all the features on this machine. Particularly the 4x4 lock, low and high transmission and the free winch.
I am going to take it for a ride Friday afternoon and Video Tape (so you can hear the Sound) then you can compare - but I have the sound as described by myself and DesertViper

You are going to post the noise to compare the vibration right.

I guess you don't call yourself crazysteve for nothing!!! I'll be glad to help. I should be getting my DVD camcorder this weekend. I'm not a very cybernetic guy, but if I find a way to post a video clip, I'll do the same from this end so you can compare.

Hey...

Good thing I didn't take DesertVipers Bet.... he was 100% correct... I brought it back to my Dealer... service guy rode it.. told me it sounds like all Kodiaks / Wolverine 450's. He said it will get a bit quiter once everything breaks in..

So I called a few service guys for Yami dealers out of state (just so they wouldn't be p-o'd that I didn't buy it there) and they said that Kodiaks are a little louder than others...

Aside from all that.. I do have the 2 year Factory warranty on it.. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Hey All,

Well I went for another jaunt over the weekend on my Quad..

First things First: I love this Quad!! I was going through stuff that my friend on a Honda Foreman w/26"Mudlites was having trouble in with Ease! They were both surprised how well the Grizzly 450 does! I am quite happy so far with this machine..

Ok.. back to vibration.. I did video tape it today and the vibration is there.. but more and more I ride it... more I accept that is normal.. I will post the Video some how / some way in the next few days so you other Grizzly /Kodiak 450 owners can take a listen

Too new to tell... I only have 10 hours on it.. and about 70 miles... so.. fastest I have taken it is 35.. I heard they don't get much faster than 50... which is ok by me.. I didn't buy a utility 4x4 quad to go fast...
