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!
