My 2000 grizz has 27 inch titan 589, after putting on the tires, I have lost alot of power, maybe its in my head but it doesnt seem to be as powerfull as a 600 should be, it sounds powerful. But if i get stuck where I have excellent traction, I can barely spin the tires, and forget high range. If I punch it in high range, even in the snow, it doesnt spin like it should, only after it hits 10 mph do you really feel the power. The belt is not slipping, it has been well cared for, only 500 miles on it. And my top speed dropped off too. My friend just got a 00 kodiak, I get him on take off, but not by much, he will catch me if there is an incline or level ground. Eventually i will pull away, but 200 cc's difference? I am at a loss. I have brought it to the dealers, and they say its just as powerfull as anything they have. is there anything i can do to make a real differenc? without a new pipe? its loud enough as it is. What do you guys think, any suggestions. It just feels like if I were to pull something heavy and had the traction, it would just bog down....

 

do you have a clutch kit in? they arent very expensive and can help on take off, highlifter sells one for the grizzly for oversized tires

 

Are you on steel wheels or aluminum

I tell you. The Titan 589's are some VERY heavy and Aggressive tires. They will do a good job for what they are built for but you can't expect to have a sporty riding trail ripper machine with those bad boys.

 

GET THE CLUTCH KIT FOR OVERSIZED TIRES FROM HIGHLIFTER.COM AND I WOULD REJET IT AND ADD NEW EXHAUST SUPER TRAP IDS2 IS WHAT I HAVE ON MINE

 

Would'nt the oversize tires change the gear ratio? I am not very familiar with belt drives but I think this is why you have the lost power syndrome. Just my 2 cents worth.

 

I am running factory aluminum rims, Bought steel rims, but were too damn heavy. was like trying to stop a frieght train

 

How hard was it to install the kit? Is it much louder with the pipe on? Did it make a real difference?

 

no not much louder and i can do wheelies now with the clutch kit :-)

 

I've got the 27" Titan 589's on my Griz and GRIZZZZZ is right. If you want your power back you're going to have to dip into your pocket again and at least get the clutch kit for oversized tires and better yet a jet kit and K&N filter and even better yet an IDS2 pipe. The clutch kit isn't terribly difficult to install and neither is the jet kit, filter, or pipe. Yes, the pipe does make it louder, but you have to decide what your priorities are. The pipe is too loud for me when I'm just tooling through the woods, but that's the price I pay for getting my power back. Everything is a tradeoff.
