Default Help on new bike

I'm thinking about getting a Grizzly 450 or a Wolverine 450 4X4... Witch one???



I live in Houston and I will be riding on dirt at one park and about 1/2 and 1/2 mud and sand/dirt at another...

I have a friend that has a 700 Raptor who lives in Austin (I would ride with him from time to time) and a friend here in Houston that has a 700 Grizzly(I will be riding with him the most)... My thinking is that this bike can do both... Not great in either dirt or mud but good in both...

Thanks for the reply... It looks like the bike dives down and out when in a corner with any speed... See this around 1:06 and 2:05... I'm 6'0" and 220... You have that with yours???

I weigh 250 and yes mine did dive but I set the front shocks to the next to hardest setting and its perfect now, on the rear I went 2 setting from the hardest and its now perfect and wasnt bad before. Its alot of fun on roads with water bars cut into them, I try to stay out of the mud but it pulls great on hills, Iam amazed how well it climbs, better than my old 250R and warrors did and thats saying alot. If I could now only drop about 40 pounds by spring..

The special edition is a great looking bike, I would start with the full skid plates and the radiator guard to begin with. I can get you part #'s today for the gytr ones.

radiator guard - ABA-3C226-40-00 $80.95
rear diff guards - ABB-4KB34-10-00 $104.95
full skid plate - ABA-3C234-00-00 $155.95
c/v boot guards - ABA-3C234-10-00 $96.95

These are the ones I bought but there are several other ones available now for the skid plates. If you order at the same time as buying the bike, like I did, they might give you a discount
