When I bought my grizzly 700 it had a 2inch lift already installed. I would like to bring it back down to stock height. What will i need to do that. The reason being it feels very top heavy. And I live in the mtns so I need to be able to trust this machine. Or is there any other recommendations.

Ok I really like the atv guru bumpers and they look strong, but what about the Polaris bumpers are they worth the money difference which is over a 100$. The atv guru bumper shipping is terrible to Ohio.

It’s a 2016 F-150 Super Crew, I got the 6.5 foot box so an ATV would fit better. It has the 3.5l Eco Boost motor.

Ok guys, I started to mount my winch last Saturday. I got the winch in, Synthetic Winch Rope, Aluminum Hawse Fairlead and the winch mount (came in Friday).

Long story short, The mount was wrong and its going to run me more money in shipping to get them to send me the right now so I just ordered a KFI mount.

But mean time the Kodiak is a part where I park my truck at night so I started on the wiring and its been diving me craze to where I am going to mount the solenoid.

I bought this ATV for working on the land and trail rides, but knowing how I am, Its going to end up in the water deeper then it should be, and in the mud a lot. So I wanted the solenoid to be up a bit higher then where I was going to put it.

Now I started looking at pic. on the sight and I could not find a lot on the pre 86 Kodiaks. At first I was going to go under the seat, but I am not that good making wires look that good. Then I seen some take the newer Kodiaks and Grizzly uner the hood. So I thought I would do the same. I did not want to drill into the plastics so I know I did what a lot of you are going to say I am crazy for doing, but the wireless box, and the solenoid I ended up using Velcro. I know that this sounds a bit crazy but I thought I would try it.

But I thought I would post some pic for others looking for ideas and for some to give me your input on.

Hello,

Can someone help me with a question about my tachometer not working. Can this cause starting issues. I’m having a hard time starting the engine. The battery is a year old and to get it started I have to place a battery charger on the battery. I may also have to turn the key several times to get the starter to crank the engine over. I noticed while trying to get more information that the RPM is monitored by the crankshaft position sensor so I’m wondering if this is the cause of the starting problem. I’m also wondering about the starter or solenoid?

Thanks,

Russ

Ok I’m new to this forum but already have found it helpful. I have a 99 honda 450 foreman. I redone the top end and it was running great. Then my son was riding it and it started running like it had water in the gas. Well it was a few days before I went and picked it up but when I got there it started up but had no power cutting out really bad. I get it home drained all the gas witch was only a week old. Put new gas in and it would not start. Took the carb off and cleaned it put it back on and still nothing. So I just buy a new carb and air filter thinking this would fix it but it didn’t. I can spray starting fuild and still nothing. Replaced the spark plug and it still will not start. So I pulled the plug and checked the spark and I’m getting spark. I’m thinking timing but I’m not sure.

I thought that I read about a big bore kit for the Recon engine that would increase the displacement from (stock)229cc to 250cc. I tried a search but I can’t seem to find it now. Since my wife burnt her piston last weekend, I am looking at my options.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi, sorry if this topic has been covered, I’m brand new as of 10 minutes ago. I just bought a 2012 Grizzly 550 (non EPS). The machine is a cream puff, 50 hours, 200 miles and it is amazingly clean. When I was looking at it to buy it over the weekend, I noticed the display would not change from 4wd back to 2wd after pressing the button even though I rode it up and down the street. The bike is clean enough that I wanted it and I figured it would be something easy. I just went through it, oil and oil filter, air filter, dumped the gas, sea foam’d the intake, etc. It still wouldn’t turn off the 4×4 on the display so I threw it on a jack and sure enough, the front tires were spinning, so it wasn’t just the indicator light, it was not coming out of 4×4. The diff lock came on and off with the button as it should. As I sat there thinking about it while it was idling, I heard the servo come on and the display went to 2wd (ever heard of that movie "Christine" from Stephen King :). So I put it back on the jack and the front wheels were not moving while giving it throttle – so I confirmed it was in 2wd. I took it for a ride and it was great. I stopped in the trail, put it in park, shifted to 4×4, road it, stopped again, put it in park, shifted back to 2wd, rode it,,,, everything was great. I came home to take my daughter for a ride and noticed that while idling, I could hear a servo engaging. I looked at the dash and every few seconds, but randomly, it was shifting from 4wd to 2wd and back. It made me nervous so I rode it easy – probably shouldn’t have ridden it at all. When moving, it stayed in 2wd but when I came to a complete stop, it went into 4wd. I would press the button on the bars to 4wd and back to 2wd and it would shift back to 2wd. This scared me enough that I brought it home and parked it. Has anyone heard of this before. I read articles that said sometimes the machine will take a while to shift out of 4×4 – you need to drive a bit. That’s not the case here since it was shifting back and forth while the machine was parked… Almost like the idle was strong enough that it was shaking the vehicle slightly enough to make a wire jiggle and engage something. It is idling like a dream but the motor is decent size so you can feel the atv "trembling" while idling and I thought maybe that was causing a loose wire or dirty connection to make contact. Anyway, any help would be appreciated. My best guess is that a connection is dirty and needs to be cleaned or a wire is loose. The guy lost his riding area 1.5 years ago and it hasn’t really been used since. He said the last few miles were just from him taking it for a 1/2 mile ride once a month to keep everything lubed up so, even though it hasn’t been used, it wasn’t really stored, it was just sitting in his garage. Has this ever happen to you?? Thanks!!!!
