What "Headpressure" said!

I have the same machine and LOVE IT! Very capable machine for sure! Not the fastest - but I didn't buy it for speed. I bought it for its mid-size and well price! haha..

When it comes to ever replace it, I will get a 550 or 700 grizz, Unless of course Yamaha replaces the current 450 with a new machine of the same size ...

Only had 2 problems with 1,400 hard miles (hard = rocky terrain). 1st being rear diff seal leaking - replaced under warranty. 2nd being rear of engine drive shaft leaked oil - went into the Dealership 3 times - but they fixed it all under warranty and that was at 950 miles - been dry since.

It is in pieces right now as I am doing my pre-season clean / tighten / adjust / lube/ inspect work.

I am seriously considering doing the Dual rear Brake setup! As I'd like a little more braking in the Back.

I am going to add a 2" RoxSpeedFx Anti-Vibe Riser this season as I had that Riser on my sled this winter and it ROXED! Took a good amount of the Vibes out of the handlebars

Alot of my neighbors have grizzly's. 450, 700 and a 98 350. All are unstoppable. They don't seem to maintain them much and I have never heard them having a problem. The smaller one's seem too have the least problems of them all.

 

Yup, bought a 600 Grizzly when they came out. now have a 660, both have over 5k miles. very little trouble other than stuff that was "inflicted"

 

Decided a couple months ago on getting a Grizzly 450. Priced new ones, and decided to look used.
Found a like new 170 mile 450 in camo. PERFECT! "Exactly" what I was looking for, and saved a bunch of $$$ compared to buying new.

Liked it so much in the VERY short time I've had it, that I just grabbed an 09 450 in camo with 45 miles on it last week! Got a CRAZY goos deal on it too! (Bought both off of private owners)

Now I got one for me & my son! :^)

Love my Grizzlys! :^)

 

If you have the patience you can find good deals out there that is for sure! I bout both my quads new but will say this sometimes it's not what you know but who!

 

I ask God for more Patients, and told him I wanted it NOW!!!

where did you find your "deals"?

 

I just bought my grizzly 700 a little over a week ago and I love it! Handles great and rides amazingly smooth. I am also very impressed with the power steering and how much it improves handling. I would definitely buy another one.
