Added a 2004 Grizzly 660 couple weeks
ago to join my Grizzly 600 and Kodiak 400. Engine starts right up, strong and no smoke. I have changed out all fluids and no surprises/problems there. Took it out for a shake down ride and came up with the following issues:
1) No skid plates. Bought a used set from Power Sport Nation for $35. Had to drill out and tap several snapped off bolts. Installed this past weekend.
2) Definetly has the front drive shaft wobble due to worn driveshaft ends and worn diff & engine couplings. Purchased today from PartDiscounter (Niche brand). Should be replaced this weekend.
3) Fuel overflow drain dripping fuel. Used a needle & valve seat from extra carb I got thrown in on my Kodiak deal and fixed that issue. No more leak.
4) Fuel tank petcock valve does not shut off/close fuel flow. Need to order and replace.
5) Rear brake master cylinder seems to be leaking brake fluid. Need to investigate.
6) One of the tires has a tube installed. Leave it? Or break it down and see where the tire leaks. Not sure on this one.
7) One of the rear end mounting brackets is cracked at the frame. I installed a stiffening bracket I fabbed up. It uses bolts only, no welding required. I think it’s as good as the ones I have seen for sale. Maybe not quite as stiff??? It will have to do until I get the bracket rewelded. See attached pictures.
