98 Grizzly 600 in NEK VT

Just bought a used 98 Grizzly 600. Overall not in too bad of shape other than the fact that as soon as you touch the throttle it backfires through the carb, sometimes you see flames, other times it pops the carb off.

Carb was "new", PO apparently bought it and then installed a jet kit so I wanted to take it off to see what was changed. Still in that verification process.

Air box has holes that looks like it got too close to something hot. It was disassembled and in a box with some other hoses and whatnot so I am hoping that everything is there and I can put it all together.

So basically going to be reading as much as I can and learning as this is my first ATV and really trying to do as much as I can myself. Basically I know enough to know that I don’t know enough.

And yes I do have a copy of the service manual.

New to GC

Thanks for the add. New here and needing help with 04 Grizzly 660 4×4. I have seen a lot of great advice on here just looking through the forum. Unfortunately have not come across one that helped me with my situation. Hoping someone out there can give me some pointers. The bike is stuck in 4×4 differential lock and refuses to come out. was told it was the servo motor so bought a new one and put it in. Still nothing. Bike still stuck in diff lock. Anybody have any suggestions? I am not a mechanic so please no negative comments. Thanks in advance!

Electrical, battery, relay issue??

Hello!! I’m new to forums so bare with me. Recently got my 1st quad. 2003 660. It’s been great until recent glitches. Went to start the other day. I pushed the button and get a single click from the relay then my display goes blank. Started looking for shorts and nothing. Decided to clean battery terminal then it works again!! Then today it does it again. I lightly tapped the positive terminal and it starts to work. So far it’s ok but I just don’t trust it. Any help would be appreciated!! Thank ya!!

More comfortable….new guy

Hello everyone, 1st time here-just joined. I just bought a 2006 Kodiak 450. Original owner, 1600 miles, winch, plow, excellent shape. Anyway, have/had motorcycles, rode plenty of quads, but this my first one.
Single dad, always with my son. Sold the Harley cuz he’s 7 and can’t ride with him, so I figure going out on the quad is the way to go. Now there’s a Koplin storage box on the rear rack with a small cutout for a passanger, but no cushions. I want him comfortable and not really concerned about having tons of storage. I could go with a front bag/box for that.

Ok— do I go with a hard box with seat like a Tamarack or go with a soft bag with seat? Which would be more comfortable for him? My fender protectors just came in with the foot pegs for him.
Thank you,
Brian….I mean faxman
