Does anybody know what the 2008 atv lineup is going to be?

 

No but know that u said that I really want to know too.... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Lots of expectation for EFI on the YFZ, some expectation for EFI on the Grizz 450. Rhino is expected to get the 700R's motor with EFI and even possibly a displacement bump but that's less likely.

But news usually doesn't break until mid-summer after the dealer shows.

 

we some spys to give us some info

 

what are they going to change on the grizzly 450 for 2008

 

maybe fuel injected

im thiniking you can take this to the bank. by june 2, 3 of the 5 450s will have EFI: Suzuki, Kawasaki, and the new can am ds450. yamaha and honda need this so their competitors wont have any sales advantage. EFI is going to keep poping up on atvs which is long overdue, especially on the sport side. its something when more utes have EFI than sport bikes.

also, i think they will also introduce a new youth model atv as the CPSC wants to see on the market (they were approached by the CPSC to build a 'youth-tranistional' model; its on the CPSC website, but be prepared to search) and hopefully they will fill the blaster slot with something to compete with the 250ex and z250. so im predicting at least 2 new models and efi. wishing the banshee would return (to the dismay of the naysayers about it returning with a 4stroke engine; if OEMS followed that rule, corvettes, mustangs, and trucks would still have underpowered turd engines in them with no advancements anywhere..yes thats great huh guys? if so, go out and buy one and then test drive a new one) but probably wont....

 

Is EFI going to be a big deal...would it be worth uprgrading to a 2008 to have EFI...i know it can't do to well when it comes to water.

 

I'd like to see them fix the EFI problems in the Grizzly and perhaps increase the displacement. Some extra protection for the power steering box would be a good idea also from a couple of things I've heard.

An updated Rhino would be nice too if they can get the EFI issues fixed. The whole cold weather debacle and stalling and having to diddle around with mixture settings to get it to run right and not die is simply not acceptable especially with an EFI machine.

 

I asked my dealer what was in store for 2008 when the Grizzly was in for service and he said that there was a new Rhino with the 700 FI engine and power steering coming. He said the 660 would stop being pushed in June with the new model coming out. That was all he spoke of, I am sure there is more.
