I have a 2007 Grizzly 700 with about 3500 miles on it.
Fairly recently, it has begun shocking me during rides. The timing is seemingly random. I cannot reproduce it in the garage, but it will happen at least a dozen times in a 50-mile ride.
Basically, sometimes when I reach for the brake lever or happen to touch the master cylinder reservoir with a knuckle, I will get an electrical shock right through my gloves.
No fuses have blown.
I am not having any battery charging or draining issues.
I am not having any problems with lights or instrument cluster flickering.
I did starting having starting issues a few months ago, but the battery was 8 years old (stock battery), and when I replaced it, that problem instantly went away. It does not seem to have affected the shock issues either way.
Any ideas where I should start? Has anyone heard of this before?
I am dreading stripping it down and inspecting every single wire, but I recognize that I might have to do just that.
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this.
