Grizzly 700 EPS leak?
I noticed a small bit of fluid had leaked out of the power steering unit of my 09 Grizzly. I took it in to my mechanic (who had not worked on one till yesterday) and he agreed with me that it was a sealed unit. New units were $1200 to $1800. OUCH! What to do? What will happen when all the fluid is gone?Lusty

I the they were Electrically operated not hydraulic. EPS (Electric power steering).
Does it steer like a normal ATV when the Power Steering quits? At that price I just would not fix it. I could buy a few sets of awsome tires and rims for that. I always though power steering was a exspensive option that would start acting up later one. Between the $1000 to get the option in the first place and the $1200-$1800 to fix it I would just cut my loses and disconnect it. I rode a 700 grizzly without power steering,there not that hard to steer anyways. |
Thanks for replying TLC. You made a lot of sense when you reminded me it was electric. Steers fine because it is still in operation. Now I am wondering what the leak is. Looks like I will have to take panels off and check a bit more. Lusty.
