Hey guys. So looking for a little advice here. Sorry for the long winded write up but this is driving me crazy.
Also any grizzly experts near Madison WI Ill bring Beer! haha.
So the history.
OLD ATV 2009 GRIZZLY 700 CAMO – This atv was AWESOME!!!
Mods
uni air filter
clutch:
1.5 mm shim
4 14g weights with 4 stock (20 g) wieghts. average out at 17 gram
28" zilla tires.
Thats all I had on this ATV and this thing would stand straight up and run like crazy. Sold it because rode very hard and wanted to get something newer/ less miles and not beat.
I ride HARD and in lots of mud and this was my base for my new one. But I wanted at least the same performance or more.
NEW ATV 2013 GRIZZLY 700 bought stock with 155 miles on it when I got it. Now has 350 miles on it.
I got to clutching right away as it seemed very slow out the gate.
Clutch to date:
Coop45 mod on primary shieve
18 gram wieghts from a 660 – all 8
purple secondary spring.
27 inch zilla tires with aftermarket rims.
My Issues. This thing still runs so so so slow. Barely will lift the tires off the ground. I even put the stock tires back on it and same issue. It seems like it just does not have the snap and torque that the last one had. Thought I may have just been remembering something wrong, so i rode my bosses stock 07 grizzly and that thing has more snap to it stock which does not make me happy. the 07 will lift the tires with hardly a problem.
There is a slight whirring or whining noise that seems to be present when coming to a stop below 5 mph, One way bearing? But that shouldnt effect having enough power and engine braking works great with no clunking or other strange noise?
I feel like I have to be missing something. I have taken the clutch apart 4 times now making sure it is together correctly. Proper torque and everything going back together.
My next move is to get 8 16 gram weights to try to make it better as it seems to bog a little too low. I know adding the stiffer secondary spring is supposed to act similar to adding lighter wieghts in the primary, but I don’t know how true that is.
Maybe a new belt, but 300 miles on a belt is nothing.
I dont want to stick more and more time and money into something that is getting me no where. I know its hard to explain on typing the exact nature of the problems, but other than the clutch mods it is in perfect condition and stock.
What else can I look at here that may be an issue. It almost runs like the brake is on or something (which its not).
Did they dumb these things down so far from a 09 to a 13 or make some stupid changes?
I love my grizzly’s but this is frustrating.
Thank you to all who read this long winded explanation!
