New Grizzly owner

Hey Guy,

I’m helping a buddy, whose life is like a country song (lost his wife, lost his house, lost his dog, etc), rebuild his 2007 Yamaha Grizzly 700. He lent it to a friend, and they took it places an atv shouldnt go, then rolled it over to boot. Needless to say, we’ve got our work cut out for us!

Looking forward to the wealth of knowledge that is GrizzlyCentral.

Will polaris wheels fit a CAN AM

hey everyone, I have the option to purchase a nice set of tires with alloy wheels, Problem is they are on an early 2000’s polaris sportsman 500 and I just purchased a 2016 Outlander 570. Does anyone know if these would fit? or a website to use to find out the bolt patterns? thanks in advance! Just looking for some tires that are a little more aggressive after getting buried in a mud pit after owning it for a week 🙁 happened with no winch or mud tires..:th_smiliepullhair: winch is getting delivered monday!

Basic snorkeling

It appears as though my Touring is pretty decent overall with the air box up high, but the belt exhaust appears to be the weak link. Am I missing any more potential issues? Suggestions for the belt exhaust?

Not looking to go deep just yet with this one. I’ve had plenty of that from my younger days, but the little guys really enjoy splashing around so I have to at least keep up appearances.

ATV to ATV communication

So we have been using Midland GXT1000 gmrs radios with a Midland headset, but saw something about a Rugged Radios system.

Anyone had experience with the RH-5R or the Rh-5X?

Wondering if it would be worth switching for next year or just to keep what we have.

07 grizzly stator grommet oil leak

I had to replace the stator in my low mileage/run time grizzly a year or so ago,haven’t done much riding since then.(its used for plowing snow and deer hunting,didn’t get much snow last winter) So I didn’t find out about this issue until last weekend when i took the atv to go do property maintenance and put up new deer stands.

I had to replace the stator with what i remember correctly a "rm" stator? It was a aftermarket brand. Anyways I am getting a oil leak where the wires come through the grommet that seal the stator housing. Anyone else have this issue? Whats the proper way of fixing this?

For right now i cleaned it up the best i could with carb cleaner and applied a generous amount of black rtv gasket maker.I understand this is just a bandaid but i have to have the atv operating the 2nd week of November.

I tried doing a search for stator and stator leak but came up with nothing that matches my problem.
