I've lready asked a lot of my questions about them in the rhino section under rhino questions, but i couldn't find it(probly just over looked it). anyway, i've heard that the grizzly 700 with wheelie easily in low range, but if i'm going up a steep hill will i have to watch it to make sure that it doesn't flip? when i get mine, is there anything that i should grease, seal, check, or modify?
thanks in advance (i have i few more questions, but i don't remember them right off hand)

 

i don't have a grizzly, but quads in general can only be ran as good as the rider can ride. Usually utility quads handle moderate inclines nicely b/c their front end is heavy due to the 4wd. You're talking about wheeling, and when someone does that they are probably trying to do it, not really doing it by accident, but i don't have experience with the 700 grizzly's. Sorry i coudln't help ya anymore. hahahaha btw read the manuals, you're not supposed to go up anything more then like 25 or 35 degrees, =)

 

my driveway is steeper than 40 degrees. lol. i saw dirttrax television and they had one. if you put it in low, oush down on the handlebars, and give it some throttle, it's suppose to be easy to wheelie.

 

looks like you have to trailer it up your driveway then hondacrusher

 

lmao, i take my current quads up it, our riding lawnmower can make it up if i'm lucky.

 

look i'm just quoting the warning labels...then again they say that you can't do wheelies or ride passangers, and i dunno bout you guys, but i def. wanna ride my passangers, mwahahha

 

When they say wheelie easily... they mean you don't have to pull "that hard" to get it to come up... It's not like my yfz where you just give it a lil gas and it stands on it's azz...

If you're experienced in hill climbing, then crawling up hills in low isn't a problem. You just need to factor in slip points and off-camber locations.


(ask the same question over at grizzlycentral.com)

 

i'm registered on grizzly central, and i will ask here in a while. thanks both of ya

 

I think the Grizzly climbs about as good as any big bore utility ATV. The front end doesn't come up as easily as a Prairie 700 I owned previously, but you can get the front end in the air if you try. On flat ground, you really have to try to get the Grizzly to wheelie. It is nothing at all like my dirt bike, or like a sport quad that will bring the front end straight up in every gear just with a twist of the throttle. On the Grizzly I have to be standing up, hit the front brakes to compress the front suspension, then as the suspension rebounds I punch the throttle wide open, and simultaniously transfer my weight back and sit down on the very back of the seat at the same time. In my opinion that is NOT doing a wheelie. All that is is weight transfer. Riding along in fifth gear on the bike, rolling on the throttle, and having the front end reach for the sky when that open class two stroke hits the power band, ... now thats a wheelie.

I wouldn't let wheelies from a Grizzly 700 worry you at all. Its not a problem.
