Stripping the quad down to replace wheel bearings, which all four are shot, and I came to this. The left rear axle is stuck in the hub. It looks like the spline teeth are not seated properly, and this may be my problem. Another problem may be my wheel bearing may be holding the axle, possible? Would it be wise to press the axle out of the hub, or am I asking for trouble?

I’m real close to pulling the trigger on a ’16 Grizzly SE. Looks amazing, but I can’t help but worry about the paint.

How badly is this thing going to get beat up. Am I going to regret it and wish I had just gotten an EPS model with the regular dyed plastics?

After today’s ride ending with a flat tire, I am going to address my steering stem problem. I am able to grab the bars and lift the whole stem, even tie rods, and lift, maybe a quarter inch. The nut at the bottom of the stem is tight, as I checked that first. Possibly bad bushing that is near the middle of the stem? I never looked at that but I am unsure if that bushing holds the bars from moving up and down, as what my problem is. Thanks guys and gals!

Hello everyone, I recently bought a 2011 Grizzly 700 efieps and it has green plastics. Green is not my favorite and camo plastics really catch my eye. I was wondering if anyone new where to get camo plastics and how much they were. I also heard someone talking about getting their quad plastics camo dipped.

A friend was riding my Grizzly and hit a stump. He rolled the quad at least 1 full roll and ended on it’s side (another 1/4 roll). Handlebars were pushed down into the plastic at the gas tank. I loosened the bars and put them back upright. The front right tire seemed to toe-in a little (he hit with the right tire). Once I got it home and took it out on pavement, I noticed 2 things not right!

1) I could turn all the way to the left no problem. But right you could only turn about half of normal. Full turn left, half turn right. *(fixed with new lower A-arm)

2) Also, while driving straight down the road, the handlebars are turned slightly to the left.

I noticed the lower A-arm was tweaked a little. Ordered a new one and got it installed this past weekend. It now steers normal again. Much easier to move and turns 100% in both directions. Almost back to normal!

BUT, the handlebars are still turned to the left. I have tried looking the best I can and don’t see a bend in the steering column. I’m thinking maybe the coupling between the power steering and steering stem slipped a little. But I also thought they were splined which shouldn’t allow it to spin at all. Tie rods seem to be perfectly straight and no weird play or movements in anything as far as I can tell.

What am I missing? What to check!

Has anyone ever heard of the coupling slipping on the splines?

I don’t have room in the garage (AKA storage room for crap I don’t need) to work on it so I’m going to have to continue work in my driveway. And it raining and cold so hoping to keep it quick and simple!

Thanks for any advice guys!

One of my riding buddies just purchased a 2012 550. he decided to change all the fluids. He removed a bolt about 3" long with a 14mm head on the left side, thinking that was the fill plug. when he was unable to get the grease in, he called me. I showed him the fill plug on the opposite side. My question is ,does this bolt hold anything inside? I cannot find this bolt on any of my illustrations and am concerned that it may retain something. Has anyone have first hand knowledge or a better illustration on this?

Curious- will the 2010 grizzly 550 skid plates fit the 2013?

I have a line on a brand new set for 50.00 and mine are of cracked.

Thanks!

This is for 2016 grizzly’s and if you own one you know what I am talking about, and that is how the front wheel flips up any and every thing on the back finder starting around the foot board and splattering right on up the rear fender. ( This is the back fender after I made them and took it for a ride, nice and clean:)

So today I decided to make some mud flaps. I was at one of my favorite stores today ( Harbor Freight ) and seen these diamond plate looking rubber mats, they are 17 1/4" L x 4" W. $2.99 a mat.

I then made some brackets out of some 1" coated flat stock I had. I did paint the brackets black after this post, they were just easier to see unpainted.

then cut rubber mat to 9 1/2" L x 4" the flaps hang down 4 1/2" from the bottom of the foot board. This is what I ended up with.

We had a little rain last night and after I put them on I took across a field and some puddles and down the road over 60 MPH. and they just hung there like I was sitting still, they worked very well and kept the fender clean. I am sure when you get in mud up to the foot boards nothing going to work well but for just riding around you sure don’t get all that crap on your rear fender any more. PS. I just know someone is going to say the first time they go out riding they will rip them right off the fender, I don’t think so they are very flexible and forgiving, I just don’t see that happening. Try it before you knock it. Thanks for looking.
