I have not yet bought a Grizz but hope to soon, and I was courious as to what the top speed is-on flat land. Thanks in advance for any replies.

 

Reno,

All that i can tell you is that i am still breaking in my Griz but i have opened her up a lil...hit 60 according to the speedo... not sure how acurate that is...and i still had some throttle left.

I will post an update on the pro's/con's of what i see on this machine as the spring passes into summer and i can get more time in the saddle! :-)

good luck and ride safe!
Jonathan

 

I have had my Grizzly up to 73mph.

That was in 2-WD, on flat, frozen sand, half of a tank of gas, nothing on the racks, only the driver (me @ 6' tall, 220lbs laying low in the saddle). The temps were in the mid-30's & I was just about at sea level.

It took less than 8 seconds to get to 65 mph, and maybe another 10-12 seconds to get to 73mph. I didn't sustain that speed for more than a few seconds. If I had left the throttle pegged it may have climbed another mph or so. I don't know. I do know that by doing so you compromise your factory warrenty.

That was plenty fast enough for me. I am going to put 27" Titans on it this month (just in time for 'break-up' here in South Central Alaska [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] ). I wanted to see what it could do. I know I will loose the 'sportability' of the machine with the aggressive tires.

 

with the stock tires on it, I got mine up to 68 on the speedo, and the gps read 65. i kinow it would have gone faster, but i ran out of room. it didn't take too long to get there, it was bout a 150 to 200 yard road. with my new tires, 26 in titan 589, i would guess it would go faster, but take longer to get there.

i've done 65mph according to the speedometer on a frozen 11 mile lake! could have gone faster but did not go further than 3/4 throttle. My own preferance! This thing revs!

 

I'm not sure what ya'll have done to your Grizz's, but I don't see how that could be just stock. I topped out at 67 goin just barely downhill. Although this was on a dirt road, I still don't see it reaching 73 considering that this was about four days after I broke it in, it was spotless, it was a cool day, and as far as wieght goes, I'm pushin 150lbs. Now I'm not tryin to bash anyone or call ya'll liers, I just dont see how it is possible especially considering the difference in rider wieghts. But either ya'll have done somethin to your grizz's or maybe there is something wrong with mine, but I just don't see it happening.

 

4x4mudslinger the elevation you are at matters on the speed. Sea level will go faster than someone up in the mountain area.

 

I didn't realize those grizzleys went that fast. thats haulin especially on a 600lb + machine.

 

Sorry but I say BS to 73. I don't care what elevation it is.

 

had mine at 63 before the 27" tires it now does 61mph rev limiter kicks in at 64mph on all 02 grizzlies, if. i repeat if anyone is going faster than 64mph than there rev limiters arent working. 70 plus mph i think not.
