Guess I joined the club of people that have rolled their Grizzlies. Have a 2014 grizzly 450 with eps, 50 hours and about 175 miles. Being an idiot this past weekend and runnin around with a buddy on gravel roads. Got cocky and tried some power slides which were fun, until coming back to camp did one last power slide and my right tires caught and I rolled to the right. I was going pretty slow and the grizzly rolled all the way over and landed on the handle bars.
The engine cutoff and I immediately turned it back over (maybe upside down for 30-60 seconds and it sounded like the engine immediately cutoff). Handle bars folded and rear brake lever was pushed down but I righted those pretty easy. Front right rack was bent down and I used a hoist to lift that up and fixed that. I immediately started it back up and it started almost without hesitation after the roll, and rode the rest of the weekend no problems, no smoke or hesitation starting.
I searched through all the posts on here I think and determined I needed to check the air box and oil. Air box was very clean, expect it smelled very strongly of gasoline. Oil looks normal, normal level, however it smells very strong as well, I think of gasoline but not sure. I smelled some unused oil I had from the last oil change and it definitely doesn’t smell the same.
That being said, is there anything I need to worry about or do? How would gas get the oil and how can be sure there’s gas in the oil? It doesn’t seem like the oil level changed.
I am worried about any internal damage to the engine, and thinking about trading it in for a new 2016 grizzly 700 if this one is going to have problems or isn’t going to be reliable. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
