Am Officially Eating Crow
I'm officially eating crow these days boys. Gave the Yamaha camp a hard time previously, including Dodge57Hemi about the Grizzly. The wife wanted an ATV with power steering and I found a decent deal on an 09 Grizz 700 w/EPS and pulled the trigger! With a little more ride time on one now I have indeed found there is certainly more of a lighter/nimble feel to it compared to my 08 Sportsman 800, and the PS is amazing! The Polaris has an edge on power and ride quality, but the Grizz is no slouch and is a treat to drive, I'll likley drive it just as much as the Polaris. I'll also never buy another ATV without PS, my next move will be to upgrade my 800 to an 850 with PS, or possibly another Grizz?? Yes it's that good, and has enough power to keep me satisfied.

Cody, I've noticed a bit of a throttle/power lag down low but once it hits it revs and midrange it takes off with authority. Has anyone used a clutch kit to remedy this? My Po Po 800 has better low end punch but when comparing roll on acceleration, they are quite close and the Po Po takes a while to get ahead!

That is exactly how mine acted and it ran so well otherwise I dismissed it. After about 300 miles, and my miles are pretty hard ones, that lag is gone and it wheelies when I have adequate traction. I haven't ridden the XP or the 800 but if they run better than what I have they are beasts. I have ridden with guys that have them and so far I haven't been impressed, but that could have easily been their skill level too. Not saying that I am all that, but I have noticed that few ride with the "spirit" that I do. Maybe I don't get out enough? Anyways, keep us posted and see if yours breaks in like mine did.
