Strong fuel odor.

The last couple of rides I have noticed a very strong raw fuel odor on my 2014 700. It is most noticeable on rough terrain or on inclines. I don’t notice it when it’s just sitting still and running. I don’t see any fuel leaks anywhere without pulling the plastics off. If I open the fuel cap door and smell in that area it’s very noticeable. My son n law was riding behind me and could smell fuel he did not know if it was his 09 700 or coming from mine. Is this just normal venting? I’m not sure where the tank vents or if it vents from the cap. Anyone else notice this on their Grizz? Any suggestions as to what to check would be appreciated. Like I said just sitting there and running or not there is no smell. Thanks

07 grizzly 700 power commander 5

Need a guru on grizzly. Got a 07 grizzly 700 eps guy said it has a big bore kit and has slip on exhaust on it. Also has the power commander 5 on it and it runs like crap some times. Don’t know how too tell if it has the big bore kit on it or not but can I just unhook the power commander and go stock? Feels like it’s flooding it out. Don’t want too mess something up but think stock might be best don’t know how too check it all…

Shifter issues with low gear – 2013 grizzly 550

My first post to grizzly central. I have a 2013 grizzly 550 eps with about 250 miles in it and we recently used it to haul gravel and top soil around the yard with a small utility trailer. Since the loads were a bit heavy we were always using low gear but found it difficult at times for the machine to lock into gear. The low gear light is indicated but you either have to rock the machine or feather the throttle before it catches. Working on level ground and travelling across primarily flat terrain. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
