Power steering on grizzly 700, Worth it or not
I'm assuming it works similar to a car, it assists steering so if something failed you would still have the ability to steer? Its not like you would have to take it to the shop immediately, right? Perhaps if it broke you could remove the mechanisms and just have a 4 wheeler with out power steering.

If you ride standing up much--and you should in the rough stuff--then it's very valuable for control and resistance to kickback. What would one kickback do to you if it pitched you over the front? When my wife was riding and hit a rock in her Polaris several years ago, the twist caused by the rock threw her bike to the side, up a bank, and rolled over on her. It could have been worse, but she did have a crushed wrist.
I guess I consider it not only a convenience, but a safety feature.

That is correct...

I tried a 700 EPS and really liked the EPS option. It wasn't overly light but made the slow speed stuff much easier, especially with the front diff locked.
Since my 450 is lighter it seems less necessary. Also no power steering helps build up the guns so you look more buff at the beach.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
