Hello all im Marco just bought a 2008 yamaha grizzly 700. now iv already put more then 10hrs on her. the dealership says i need to take her back blah blah blah, but they wanna charge me $200 to do the whole bike. meaning adjust the valves change the oil, the whole nine yards, well i thought about just doing it myself change the oil and whatever it is i need to do, but now see what IF i dont adjust the valves. can anyone give me examples of whats the best oil and oil filter, brake fluid, and coolant fluid for the bike. im more worried about changing the oil, im race ready to go out and buy it all. please help

 

so what am i talking to the wall, is anyone gonna throw their two cents in, i thought this is the place to talk to other people in need of help so for 31 of you people read an nothing. what are you guys scared or what speak up

 

I haven't had much luck on here either. try grizzlyowners.com
I just got back from the shop. I got motor oil, differential oil, filter, spark plug, and air filter for 45 bucks. i would only use Yamaha oil.

 

Do the service yourself. The valves are fine if they arnt making any noise. Change the oil to amsoil and keep an eye on the level. No reason to throw away $200 bones for something you can do yourself.

 

I suggest you do take it in it is really important to get the valves adjusted by the dealer. Also i suggest k&n oil and air filters for your bike they arent expensive but they increase power and all that good stuff.

 

I do all my own work, ajusted the valves on my grizzly 550 a couple weeks ago, No problem.

 

buy an owners manual and do it yourself

 

Do the work yourself if you wanna save a few bucks use Valvoline ATV oil here is a link to a Grizzly 700 service manual. Just download it and go from there!

I guess I will swimming against the stream sort of on this one.

You can easily do all of the fluids and while I have always used Yamalube in my Rhino and Grizzly Amzoil or others will work also.

I would have the valves done at the dealer if you are not comfortable doing them yourself, but I would definitely make sure they are within specs.

I would also check to make sure that this will not cause you warranty problems with your dealer; it shouldn't and if it does you might want to check on getting a different dealer.

Be sure to keep all of your reciepts for your warranty.

I have always gotten quicker responses from Grizzly Central, not that there is anything wrong with this site, but you will get more responses and advice from double posting. I use several.
