Hello! Just picked up my new 02 Grizzly a couple of hours ago and parked it in the garage. I'm going to put the Warn winch on tomorrow and take it for a spin. It is green with a 2000# warn winch and 3 year extended warranty. I paid $7550 out the door for it. Considering we pay 4.5% sales tax I guess that isn't too bad [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Just saying hi for the first time.

I would just like to say congrats on your new ride.

You know, the green ones are the fastest!! haha

Congratulations!!!!!!

I too recently purchased an 02 Grizz and am waiting for my first ride. Maybe tomorrow! My kids have ridden it around the yard and according to them, It's awsome! Hope your trouble free and safe riding.

Congrats! And welcome to the Big Bear Club. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] You'll enjoy the heck of your new Grizz, I know that I am amazed everytime I get on my grizzly. It is an impressive quad, and in my most humble & honest opinion, the king of the heap right now.

Wow! Just took it around the farm and it is nice! I'm going to let it warm up outside before I ride again today. I must be getting old because my hands were hurting from it being 36 degrees out hahahaha. I'm 24 btw.

Don't feel bad, I'm 35, and had to succomb to hot grips and thumb warmers. They really do make a difference in the quality of your cold weather riding. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I've been wanting to ask this without offending any grizzly 600 owners, so this thread looks like a good place to hide my question.
Does the 660 sound wound out when riding it? The only 600 I've ridden a couple of different times left me looking for ear plugs. It was loud from the motor and sounded like I was in low, but when I checked I was in high. Does the 660 carry these traits?

The guy who owns the 600 says he likes yamaha, but will never own another grizzly due to the noise. I try to assure him the 660 is a different machine, but being 65 he's kindof set in his ways. BTW he has 5800 miles on his 99 grizzly. With very few repairs.

I know y'all might say the high reving and noise is an automatic thing, but I assure you my prarie and my buddies 500 magnum don't rev out early like that. Thanks in advance.

I've got the 660, and I also had a rancher. I dont think the 660 sounds wound-out at all.I love the grizz, but I want more power. (I just like massive power) I'm going to pipe and jet it, but which one?????

I traded my 2000 600 grizzly in on a 660 and the 660 is way quieter especially at low speeds. The 660 and 600 are totally different machines if he is looking for a new one tell him to go to a dealer to test ride one and he will be impressed.

I have never heard a Grizz 600, but I can tell you that the 660 does not have a "wound out" sound, actually at any speed that I've experienced. Hope that helps you some...

congrats on your new bear and welcome to the big bear club. as you have already found out it's a billy bad a$$ machine bar none. enjoy!!!!!!!

The Grizz doesn't sound any louder to me than my 500 AC did and its not something I've noticed. Must not be loud. I ride a 300 honda too, and any noise difference isn't enough for it ever to have come to mind.

Polaris diesel on the other hand is loud.

Thanks for the responses. Who knows, the belt or tranny on his 600 could be out of deflection.
I do know it was no joy to ride. I'm sure the new 660's are very refined machines and I would like to have one someday.

I had a 600, it did seem to "whine" at high speeds. Not sure why?
I havent noticed it with the 660. In fact i forgot about it until just now.
CONGRATS..The machines are truley AWESOME!

Hey mich real nice pictures. those rims look awesome, are they magnums or some new style?
RIDE ON!!

hey badfordman'
thanks on the pictures remark. as for the wheels, the tires are titan 589/mt, and the rims are i t p cast aluminum rims. i ordered them complete from highlifter. they came in 4 days, allready mounted, for a total of $654.00 shipped. i thought it was a fair price, as well as a great looking setup. as i see, i aint alone on the looking part. the rims only weight 9 lbs too!i am totally loving the new titan tires too. they grip soooo much better than stock. good luck, and ride like your mamas calling!!!
