Just curious if anyone protects their frame from rust. I treat my vehicles with fluid film every fall, figured I would do the same with the atvs. I use the spray cans and the wand extension hose they sell for the cans.with the atvs I just spray the inside of the frames with extension wand. Spray it in and you can see the vapors come out of all drake holes, works really good.

Ive seen the complaints people have made against the rear storage not being water or dust proof, and never really put much thought into it. It does have a drain plug and figured I could put it to some use one day, one way or another.

So I got my winch installed the other week and figured I would buy a few items. This kit came with everything I needed, including a nice bag. It fit really nicely in the rear storage area.

I get back from my 1+ hr ride and I see the storage compartment open and the accessory kit is gone. What a joke. I lock it and pull it to see how this could of happened and it opened up way too easily.

Just a heads up for anyone with a 16. We need to find a way to keep these closed!!

Great story! I won an atv in a raffle. It was a 2015 Can Am Outlander L450. So I had to go over to the powersports dealer to pick up my prize, sign some papers and pay the sales tax. I already had the idea in my head to trade it in for something I really wanted. So when I got over there, I asked them about it and they were more then happy to help me with that. I wanted a Grizzly 700. They showed me a leftover 2014 Grizzly 700 w/o power steering, a 2015 700 w/ p.steering, and a 2016 700 w/ p.steering.
We ran some numbers and I decided I wanted the 2015!! They used the Can Am as a downpayment and I paid the remaining balance.
Here it is. So far, I added a new Warn winch, swapped my Bighorn 2.0s onto it from the older Grizzly, and bought a new 2up seat.

I also just picked up a snow plow to add to my older green one. It has had a winch and plow midplate since the day I bought it 4 years ago. But I never had a plow with it…now I do!

Hi,

I’m new here, but looks like a good place to get some knowledge.

Just wondering, has the grizz 450 engine been used in any manual atv??

I’ve changed the clutch weights so engine runs at lower rpm, and was wondering if the engine needs to be set up differently (valves, carb, spark plug).

Thanks all

Hey guys my grizz is not happy going through water holes,starts to sputter and run crappy, now sometimes I do get a fuel smell when we stop on a trail but no leaks found. But it’s wet arround the injector and all the dirt has colleted arround it indication of its weaping. Now is it possible the water is being forced in there?

just did a brake job did front and back pads .. the fronts feel good and the bakes feel soft … there is no brake fluid leaks just back brakes feel weaker then they were before I put new pads on … any ideas ?

I am strongly considering ITP Terracross tires.
I did hear today from a guy that claims the sidewalls are garbage and don’t hold up well.

Anybody have some real world input on that comment?

The guy was a dealer and says he can get GBC, ITP, Maxxis, and Sedona tires. He seemed like he was kind of pushing Sedona and Maxxis a little IMO.

I’d like to hear some real rider input please. I ride varying trails, loose to hard pack, some are a little rocky/tree rooted, and I usually hit some mud (not the deep snorkel type).

Thanks!:happy:

First post without a grizzly here. I currently have a 2013 rzr s 800 that it seems like I spend more time working on than riding. Therefore I’m looking at selling it to get a new 16 grizz eps. I am a rather aggressive trail rider and would use it to plow and work also. On occasion the ol lady will go out with me. I’ll say that I have had many quads before this but I need some help convincing myself to make the switch. Has anyone on here went back to a quad after a sxs?

Prob a dumb question but dont know much about electrical. I installed a 2000lb warn winch. It’s all hooked up and working however I can run the winch with the key off. Should I have tapped into a diff wire or is it OK and safe to have it wired this way? Thanks

Hello,
New member here looking into getting a quad for the main purpose of plowing snow. I also plan on recreational riding from time to time. I am leaning toward the 2016 Kodiak SE EPS at this point. Reading about the differences between the grizzly and the kodiak it looks like the griz will be more aggressive and peppy compared to the Kodiak, but the kodiak is made more for a workhorse(plowing). Will I wish I had a grizzly if I get out on the trail? Or will the Kodiak have enough pep to have some fun when I want to? Then on to the Honda( I know I will get biased opinions on a Yamaha forum). I have been around hondas the most when it comes to ATV’s. My dad has had two Ranchers which have been reliable and got the job done for his plowing needs. One thing I can’t stand is how reverse works on hondas. The honda option I am looking at would be a 2016 foreman rubicon eps or higher(I like the aluminum wheels on the fancier versions like the kodiak SE). Comparing specs it seems either Yamaha blows away the honda in pretty much everything(especially CC’s). So I am looking for opinions on what Yamaha to go with(probably a more basic grizzly compared to the top end kodiak for price reasons).
Thanks for your input.
