new YUASA battery

alright…going to try my best not to shotgun the questions…but I’ve had a run.

Long and the short is I had to install a new YUASA dry-ship battery this weekend. Unfortunately I didn’t have the luxury of fully charging the battery prior to install…nor did I have time to vent the gases. So I have the following questions:

-I’ve got it on a smart charger now (low amp)…should I be bracing for the mushroom cloud?

Since I’ve got your attention – I’m going to go for a second question lol…. do the following numbers seem right?

The voltage at the battery not running is 13.2V

The voltage at idle with no load is 14.3V

The voltage running the winch (no load on winch) is 13.3V

Thanks Grizz Forum!!!

Bike on or off

When you boost a atv with another atv do you boost it with the atv on or off? I had a person say you should do it with the atv off so you would not stress the alternator. Another said to leave it off to protect the ecu system. I was taught to have your vehicle running. Are the newer vehicles more prone to boosting then the older ones?

Light bar size.

Hey guys all the light bars are over kill for me but I’m checking them out any way lol. I like the 6 inch bars( spot flood combo driving pattern)but I don’t want to feel like I’m I’m driving in a tunnel does the 10 inch through a little more light to the sides or is just more concentrated light. I’m sure they both have more than enough distance. To be honest I’m pretty happy with stock lights if I had twice what the stock lights give me in a similiar patter I would be happy.

back up light

has any one tried to put a back up light on a 2015 700, I want it to come one when I shift into reverse. I had one on a 98 big bear, that I got power from the lights on the dash, but I don’t think it works the same on the digital dash
if any one can help that would be great

Headlight options

I was out riding the grizz today and went through a tunnel and noticed that the front headlights arent very bright even with high beams on. They are just the stock bulbs. Any recommended replacement bulbs that any of you have tried? I am more interested in plug and play. Want to avoid mods if possible.

starting – engage brakes super hard?

Is it normal to have to squeeze the living hell out of the brakes to get the Grizz’s started?

Sometimes I have to squeeze the brakes so hard I think I’m going to brake something to get her started… Just does not feel like the engineers intended it to.

If it is not normal, is it either a brake issue (bleed) or a starter solenoid, or maybe a CDI issue?

I might swell fix this while it’s up on jacks & getting other issues fixed.

thx for any help.
