I have got to say for the record here. I have been on this site for 6 yrs. and it is an awesome wealth of information. The people are very helpful with info and their experiences with the technical stuff, info on best prices for parts/tires etc. Without this information many of us would waste lot of $$$ at the stealerships or with trial and error on our own. If you are new here stick around. You’ll like it !!! These guys make it look easy and show you how to get it done.:getrdone::gcrules:

Max bore
Hi folks, im new to the formum. picked up a 2001 grizzly 600 last week. less than 700 miles on the clock. looks to have been rode a little rough. smokes very bad. thought it would need a new top end. after pullng the cylinder and piston i see the 1.0 stamp on top of the piston. damn already bored. i measured up the piston at 95.88 then the cylinder at 96.0. according to the manuel that is twice the piston to cylinder wall clearance. so something is going to give. get a new cylinder which would allow me to go back to standard bore with a new piston or buy new piston and bore to 2.0. has anyone gone that far on their cylinder bore? i presume its ok or there wouldnt be any offerings for pistons for 97.0 bore. piston is in good shape and is a yamaha 1.0 piston. i have a few more questions for later

show us some Pix of bad one way bearings
Just wondering, engine breaking went on my 450 but I suspect i fried the wet clutch and not one way. The Yamaha test passed but fibers on clutch are way below spec. Do one ways show visibly that they are shot, or do they wear down in circumference and tolerance that tight ?:gcrules:
Does anyone snorkel?????
I just out on a kit today, and 6hrs later I realized I didn’t do enough research. In my head it’s poorly designed and could be so much better. I won’t say who I bought it from, but please anyone that has snorkel a scrambler 1000 please share some info or private message me and let’s talk, any info be great.

New shoes
After 100 miles and getting a flat on the stock tires I decided to put some new shoes on the machine I got for my dad. 26x9x12, 26x11x12 Outback XTs. I have been running them on my 2014 570 and love them so I figured what the heck. Now it looks and should go like a real four wheeler.
