Default 2007 to 2008 WOW

I thought there was going to be huge changes in the atvs for 2008...they added mainly wet disc brakes and a new hitch and a grizzly 700 without EPS and one with EPS

I have a Grizzly 450 2007 and was about ready to upgrade to 2008 until i relized there was mainly just new brakes...are wet brakes better than normal disc brakes

Ya wet brakes you dont have to worry about mud wearing out the pads prematurely and they are quieter than rear disks. AS far as trading your new 07 for a 08 i would not. you might even be able to swap in the wet disk system

As far as the Grizzly 450... just the wet brakes / 2" receiver hitch

BTW Power123456789, your Grizz 450 is too pretty looking[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]... Do you wheel that thing ?? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I have already lost my rear skid plate, cracked a fender (actually a donkey friend cracked it), beat up my footwells and torn a CV boot... Granted, I do not ride down fireroads, but some pretty technical trails...

I just bought the Yamaha skids for it they didn't have the front one in stock so I am going to make my own. (I have access to a "Brake" to bend it up)

with only a $600 difference between the 700 with EPS and the one w/out... How many people do they really expect to buy it??

Pick up some puck board and make yer skids out of it. Approx. US$40 for a 4x8 sheet.
