I have recently caught the Elka bug based off of all of your positive feedback on the ride improvements. I live in Florida but numerous times per year we load up and head to the cabin in NC to ride the old mining switchbacks. These trails are very rocky and rough as they are no longer maintained or ever ridden. We have to cut down trees that have fallen across the trails almost every trip. My 2014 grizzly 550 eps loves it up there and seems to excel over the hondas I ride with. They are Yamaha shopping as I type this haha..
However the ride is rough! I have deleted the sway bar which has helped but are looking for a plusher ride as I have a herniated disk in my back.
We all know how much of an investment these are. The only way I see myself being able to get these is with my AZ store card with 12 month financing.
Was the 550 chassis not updated along with the 700 in 2014? Everything I see says 07-2014 for the 550 and 07-13, 14-15 for the 700. The listing on the site says they are for 2007 -2014 550. They also say for a grizzly ‘500’ which is wrong so it has me worried. It does say the manufacturer part # is ELKA-11132 which matches elka site.
