Hello! I guess let me start by making it known that I am a total newbie to the Utility ATV world! I am coming from a Yamaha Raptor 700R and recently purchased a 16 Grizzly SE. I am looking to change the stock tires and I know the front tires and rear tires are different sizes. I am looking at a set of Interco Swamplites in either 28" or the 29.5". I would like some opinions on which size would probably be the best… IF the 29.5" would even fit??… Also, how do you choose the difference in the front tires and rear when going up in size? You wouldn’t want to order 4 tires that are the same size would you??… All answers are greatly appreciated!! I mainly ride hard pack trails and the occasional mud hole and creek crossing. Thank you again for any input!!

Vent Line (??) Question
I have a 2016 Grizzly 700 SE model. I went on a long ride with some buddies yesterday and got home last night and was checking everything over and noticed a small rubber tube (resembles vent/drain line) hanging out of the bottom right fender. It looks like it might have been held with a clip or zip tie and just broken loose. I traced it back and it comes out of the tube that connects the air intake to the top of the engine (it appears to be in the middle)…Does anyone know if this is just a vent line or something that can just be zip tied back up or is it important and needs to be reconnected some where?? I have tried to attach a picture but for some reason cannot seem to get it to attach.
I appreciate any responses or help I can get with this to help put my mind at ease! I have looked at every diagram I can find and have not been able to find the answer.
2016 Grizzly SE
Hello all! I am new to the community, and I would appreciate any help I can get on this topic! I have been riding sport quads all my life and just recently made the switch to Utility’s by purchasing the new Grizzly!
I bought the bike the past Friday and am loading it on the trailer and at the dealer and begin to hear a little rattle…I get the sales guy to come check it out and we take it back to the shop and pull the plastics off and it turns out to be the heat shield needed tightening….so at this point I decide I’m going to thoroughly check out the bike when I get it home.
I get it in the garage with a flash light and look over every aspect of the bike and notice that 3 bolts are missing in spread out over the front and back finder connecting the inside fenders to the bottom skid plates! I immediately begin to panic and think "what have I bought, this is some bike that someone threw together trying to punch the clock and get out of work early on a Friday". I then start to feel the exhaust and notice that there is a fair amount of play in the actual muffler and the pipe coming out of the back of the muffler….I can move them from left to right….I checked the header where it goes into the engine and there doesn’t seem to be any movement.
Ultimately what I am getting at is, Is the exhaust movement on the new grizzly normal, and the back and forth play there intentionally? ….also Ive sense replaced the screws that were missing…would this worry you? I couldn’t find where anything else is missing so I’m hoping it was just a small fluke and I haven’t gotten a for lack of better words "lemon"….ANY insight or response would be beyond greatly appreciated!
PS…sorry for writing a book!
