My cousin has a stock 2001 scrambler 500 4x4, and i'm gonna get a new grizz, who will win. I have a feeling that his will, but i was hoping.

 

I'd lay my money on the Grizz for sure. I haven't seen very much of either of these models, but I don't think you've got much to worry about.

 

ill bet on the grizz, he'll be wrenching too much on the polaris!

 

The Grizz has more ground clearance but that is all. The one thing I don't like about that machine is that it will not spin all four faster than 22mph. Wheel spin is the key to getting through mud and that is just not fast enough. When I take my Scrambler mudding I would not be suprised if the wheel speed passed 40mph.

 

My 400EX smokes a 500 Scrambler, yet it's pretty even with my Grizz...sometimes looses to the Grizz. Guarantee in a drag the Grizz wins.

You're correct about the 22mph limit while locked and the need for wheel speed. Fortunately that's an easy bypass on the Grizzly. 1 wire [snip] and no more speed limiter.

That is pretty damn impressive. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

Yeah...the 400EX has a bit more top..the Grizz indicates 67 or so and the 400 walks away from it...barely. If I can get good hook up on the 400 I can take it. My wife is the one riding the Grizzly too. Just pushes the throttle and she's off. The Grizz is an awesome machine.

 

Hey Silver Bear:
To me it seams like you have successfuly bypassed every limiter that yamaha has put on this beast. I you don't mind could you tell me wich ones you did, and shortly how you did it. If not all, please just the one disussed in this post. thanx.

The only limiters I've intentionally bypassed were the reverse and front diff 22mph limiter. The side effect of the only way I know how to bypass the front diff 22 mph limiter, is that the 3 mph diff lock engaging limiter also gets bypassed. So, I've just put an inline switch, and if I need the wheel speed, I'll flip the switch and bypass it. Another thing I've found out by experience is even if you have your reverse limiter bypassed, if you're in diff lock, and say your stuck, and trying to get out in reverse, hit your reverse limiter bypass switch, you will still cut out at 22mph if your front diff is locker, in reverse, if that's not bypassed as well.

To get around all this is pretty simple. There is a white wire coming from the speed sensor on the Grizz and goes into the bottom of the CDI box. You can either cut it, and have it bypassed at all times, or put an inline switch in it, and only bypass it when you need it. That's what I did, because I didn't like the thought of locking in the front while going to fast, and tearing something up. That's not something I normally do, but hey, I know myself well enough that I could do something like that in the heat of the moment. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I haven't posted a how to on my web site w/pics on this issue simply because it eliminates 2 limiters instead of just the one. I'm working on figuring out a way to isolate the speed sensor for the engaging limiter and the overall 22mph limiter. Dunno if I will succeeed, but if I do, I'll post it, if I can't in another month, I'll go ahead and take pictures and do a comprehensive how to, such as I did on the reverse limiter bypass, but with ample warning on loosing the engaging limiter.

Any other questions, just hollar.
