I paid $6468.95 with the winch, but I had to drive about 280 miles to get that price.

 

I have had my grizzly for 2 weeks now and it is awesome. I have around 250 miles on it already. When I bought the machine I was a little impressed by the way you could get the front off the ground. But with more miles on it now it does wheelies so easly. I can even hold them for a couple of seconds, it seems the more miles you get the better it gets.

 

I'm looking at buying a new quad in spring. The Grizzly is definitely up there for choice along with the Kawwy and Ruby. I'm looking for a good quality ride though, so that pretty well leaves out the Ruby. I am concerned in hearing that the Grizz seems to have an aversion to mud and water, that's what it should be made for. I have a Honda 300 4x4 and have no problems with it under all conditions. Keep posting your Grizz info. I really don't care how fast it goes, it's not a sport quad, but it has to tow, cross logs, water and muskeg. As far as the Polaris 400 goes, it's not even in the same class. Thanks for the info, let's have some Grizz, Kawwy and Ruby comparisons.

I am worried too, I have ordered a new Grizz but with all this water talk I wonder if the 450S Foreman would be a better choice because where I Ride is wet and muddy and my old 450S never hesitated a bit.
Damn you Yamaha
PS why dont they make any of these big boys manual Shift auto clutch

 

Some people said that it sputters because water hits the spark plug. So they used dielectric grease to stop the water from hitting it. I dont know if this is true but it makes sense. I havent had to go threw much water yet so I havent thought about trying it.

 

Make sure you check all the "Grizz" posts on here... allot of people are saying that with some dielectric grease and a little silicone in the right spots, they CAN'T get the belt slip now.

I don't know, but this is just what I have heard/read.

 

Here's my pics of our new Grizz with Douglas wheels and Spidertrax rear tires. I think a pair of 10" Spidertrax in the front is next.
This widens it up and softens the ride, powerslides in 2wd just fine now, used to rail up on two wheels. Track went from 43.5" to 49" rear, 46+"front, just with the Douglas wheels and Spidertrax, no spacers.660 Grizzly WIDETRACKThis is what a Grizzly should be. Stock wheels are ridiculously inset, and stock tires are skinny bologna balloony crap.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

Fourlix I was just wandering because Im thinkin about gettin some bigger tires for my Grizzly. Does the weight of the bigger tire affect the speed or performance of the machine, and what sizes do you think i should get for front and back tires thanks.

 

I'm considering the Griz too, but am also seriously worried about all this water problem stuff. There seems to be some confusion about where the problem lies. Some owners say they got the belt wet, some say they fixed the sputtering with di-electric grease on the plug. This is obviously 2 different problems. The grease on the plug looks like a good easy fix for the electrical problem, but what about the belt? Has anyone found a fix for that? Does it look like a snorkel could be added? Or maybe there's some venting that needs rerouting?
This is a serious concern for me for where I ride, so I appreciate all the input. Please keep me posted as you get more miles on.
Thanks.

 

bought my new grizzly for $6369.95 with new warn winch included in that drive out price in birmingham AL as far as the water i have had mine up to the racks and not one skip or sputter yet. The di-electric grease on the plug works and also if the transmission does get wet it is a simple fix, the new grizzly has a drain plug on the transmission that does not even require any tools and also copied the design from the kodiak on the airbox (no tools required). Not much easier than that.
