Good day to everyone

Im always on grizzly central looking for advice and tips on my machine. I have a 2011 Yamaha Grizzly 700 EPS 4×4 Auto. Green in colour. I’m from North east British Columbia. Just thought I’d introduce myself, and looking forward to all the help and advice I can get.

6 month, 500-mile report (plus video) on my 2016 Honda Rancher 420 4×4 DCT EPS…

Hello friends,

In case anybody’s interested, I’ve posted an update video of my new Honda Rancher 420 4×4 DCT EPS. I’ve owned it now for 6 months, and I’ve put 500 miles on it. So far, I love it. The power steering was definitely worth the extra cash. The automatic transmission works great for when I put folks on there who don’t want to shift, or when I’m feeling lazy and cruising down a trail/road. The 4×4 works great. The suspension is good. The engine produces great power. It’s comfortable and reliable thus far. Here’s to another 500 miles!

Outlander Stalling?

Hello, I am very new to owning am ATV and I have a 2008 Can Am Outlander 650 Max and while I was out today on it, it was running fine for 10 or so minutes then I took a break near a lake for maybe 5 minutes. I came back and turned it back on and was driving about 8mph on the trail going back when all the lights came on on the display like when I first turn it on, then it automatically dropped down to 5mph for a few feet (I know I should have stopped) and then completely stopped a few seconds later. So I turned the engine switch off and turned the key to the off position and gave it a minute. It turned on just fine and I went a steady 10 mphs for 5 minutes or so back home with no problem. Why did it do this? I live in rural alaska and this ATV is my only means of transportation. Please and thank you for your help!!

Manta green paint match

Hey everyone,
I was hoping someone could help me. I recently bought a 2016 1000 XMR manta green and was looking for the paint codes as I would like to paint my helmet to match. I found the match for the manta green bumpers and then noticed the stickers and handle bars were a different shade of green. Has anyone tried to match the handle bar colour? As that’s the colour code I’m looking for. Any help would be appreciated. Thx

Honda 450 foreman

Alright guys, been workin on my 2000 450 formeman, I changed the piston rings about a month ago, the plunger valve in the top of the carb had split so it wasn’t running right, I work offshore so I’m gone two weeks at a time, I put a new plunger in today and put a factory muffler back on, had a glass pack on it, the pipe was getting red hot comin out the head and into the bend, I put a bigger jet and adjusted the valves, it’s alot better, but still gets red if I hold the throttle, and now I’m hearing a tickING noise from the front top end of the engine, it might have been doin it after I changed the rings and I just couldn’t here it with the glass pack, idk what it is, any advice would help, thanks in advance.

Gas treatment/water removal

Does any one use gas treatment, particularly ones that remove water such as a brand called Heet, in their ATV? The ETX has been acting funny and it just so happened after adding gas in. I don’t know if the 2 things are related but I thought I would try some of the treatment to see if it will solve the problem.
