new to forum

I am new to the forum and have just bought a 2015 Grizzly 700 camo. I have owned other atv’s in the past but after a really muddy and heavy snow hunitng season this year I have gone to Grizzly. My friend bought a 2016 and I was really impressed how it did in the mud and snow. It was the worst mud I have every road. I was riding a 550 Polaris but never again after that mud.

Lifetime Honda Fan, New Member

Hi from Vermont!

I’ve visited this forum in the past looking for information about some of my projects, and decided to join and contribute, and perhaps find advice on some more in depth projects.

I currently own a 1990 Fourtrax 300FW and a 1986 ATC 250es Big Red.

The Big Red was given to me by my grandfather when I was around 15 (actually he told me if I got it running I could have it), and has been somewhat restored/refurbished. I mostly ride that around the house and to neighbors and such, trying to keep it in decent shape.

I got the Fourtrax in a similar deal, with my father. It was sitting in the corner of the garage just collecting dust (and leaking oil). It has had a hard life of abuse (my uncle trail rode it very hard, then my father used it for plowing), but it is now my trail rig. Ive got 26" Zillas and a front disc brake kit on it, as well as a homemade snorkel, K&N air filter, and tractor supply IH1 muffler. I jetted it up for the extra intake and exhaust flow (the size I ended up with escapes me, but i stayed a bit on the rich side).

My plans for the immediate future are shock upgrades and some sort of less obnoxious exhaust solution for the Fourtrax. The tractor muffler doesn’t sound terrible or cause negative performance effects, but is a bit louder than I would like. I think the need for new shocks on a 26 year old wheeler that has been ridden hard, especially a 300, is rather self explanatory. I’ve already had great success finding ideas and answers about my projects without posting here, and hope to be able to contribute what I can as well.

New Rancher 420 with EPS

I bought this 2016 Rancher 420 new in October mainly for Sika deer hunting in Dorchester Co, MD. I can ride it around my 6 acres and at my archery club but the closest trail riding is one hour, 15 minutes away in Michaux State Forest in PA.

I put the winch on myself and it works fine. I also put the basket on the back for deer, gear and tools.

It got a work out a couple of weeks ago and brought back three deer. One night it brought out one deer, three men, three packs, two rifles and one pink crossbow and one small woman through tough mud and water. Tough machine. Did all I asked of it. However it took over two hours to get it clean again. Man, I’m glad I bought the Honda.

Brand new. It would never look this good again.

Just saying hello, first post here. Have lurked around for some info a few times and figured I’d join the site.

Picked up a new ’14 700 last spring, after running 600 and 660’s previous. The 700 is beast, love this machine. Not much for add-ons yet – tires & wheels, and a clutch shim/spring mod. A set of Kimpex tracks will be installed this week.

Couple pics of my machine –

New To GC & Need Some Help

Hi everyone! I am new to GC and I need some help. I have a 2007 Grizzly 700 EPS FI. I have been having problems while ridin. it will shut down for a few seconds and pick back up. While is shuts down the "R" will show up on the dash indicating that it’s in reverse when actually it’s in drive. It used to do it every once in awhile, now it does it quite frequently and sometimes it’s longer than a few seconds. Any suggestions of what might be the problem before I spend too much money?
Thanks in advance!
