Would you buy a Grizzly again?
#11
I have a '07 Yamaha Kodiak/Grizzly 450 and it's as capable as any machine in it's class. It has always performed exactly as expected with no problems. The only complaint is the rear diff seals seam to leak after time from crap getting at them.
I would buy another in a heartbeat but I would probably go up in size and then give mine to the wife.

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

Grizzly
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! :^)
