Well guys as you all know i have been out in alberta for the last 5 months, and about a month ago i had yamaha deliver a brand new 700 grizzly to my house back home on the other side of the country , well today my day started at 330am getting to the airport to make my way across the country to new brunswick, i got off the plane about 50 mins ago, stopped for some burgers on the way home, ran up here to get the key for the garage and to write this post, what follows now, is me going into my garage to see my grizzly for the first time, this will be my first time being up close to a grizzly sitting on one , or any of that stuff the only grizzlys ive seen are on here and youtube videos, and ive seen a few in the backs of trucks going by, i hope i fall in love instantly, well, here i go………butterflies in my stomach

Lately when I turn the bike on the 4wd actuator starts to activate and deactivate repeatedly without even touching the 4wd button. It will stop when I press the 4wd button. what is the issue and how can I fix it?

Did a search and read a few old threads, but could not find much info on these.
Does anyone use limiter straps on their front A Arms?
If so, can you post up a few pics and what straps / materials you used.
Cheers Mark

On my hour commute to work this morning, I was contemplating what atv would I buy if I was purchasing one "right now".

My 09′ Grizzly has been delegated to farm duty and often has a wagon hooked up to it. Still in excellent mechanical condition and dependable. Side bar Note: this is after 4000 miles of hard mudding, creek riding, and technical, with the videos to back this statement up.

But what would I buy right now. My answer to myself even shocked me. A left over Grizzly 700 for the "good price". Best value out there. A friend just bought one.

Why, might I ask myself? And why did I come to this conclusion?

1. Money still matters dollar/value
2. I know the system mechanically.
3. I drive cars till they are crushed, already have two Grizzly’s for part sharing later.
4. Servicing, know the system, same filters etc.
5. I have never been an early adopter to change.
6. Yes we all want more, B’ and Moan about no changes, but for all around trail riding, the Grizzly 700 is one heck of a machine. Especially when a person engages in 100 mile a day plus riding.

My honest answer to myself even surprised me.

I have a 07 grizzly 450 and the first question is engine oil capacity and what everyone likes to put in it.

also my rear brakes squeak as I ride, pulled the rear wheel and it is like the brakes are in constant contact with the rotor, like the caliper is froze. Is this a common problem?

I love my new grizzly!

Just had my first oil change (10 hours), and the dealer is claiming it took over 3 liters of oil…of course he charged me for 4 liters. I’m concerned, the manual calls for 2.10 liters. 30% more oil than the manufacturers spec, is this possible?

Can i do my own service and not void the warranty?

I took a test ride tonight after work. I can ride out of my driveway to the Pike National Forest and access 120 miles of trails…not to shabby!

I think the CDI makes a difference, it seems to rev faster and run smoother. The reverse limiter and diff-lock limiter are gone, which is nice.

I’ve got this thing just where I want it. It pulls hard from 0-40 mph and doesn’t over-rev. If I’m running 15 mph and punch it….it pulls hard to 40 and then starts to drop off. I spend very little time above 40 mph, so this is perfect.

Ridin’ the shit out of it for 18.5 miles….I only put a gallon of fuel in it….pretty good! :happy:
