Hey fellow Grizzly riders. Just joined today. I’m from Ontario Canada, am in my early fifties and ride a 2016 SE. Bike is stock but I’m gonna change that. Cheers!

I feel like a dummy. I research stuff to find out how to do things and then I go and do something dumb and throw out everything I’ve learned in my reading, lol. I was changing the oil in the ETX today and I got lazy instead of crawling under and looking better I found a plug and thought I was in the right place. I took it out and very little of something came out. In the pic it’s allen screw right in the middle. Was this just some oil that had settled around this screw?

I’m going to check the valve clearance on my 2011 Grizz 700 for the first time and I’m also wanting to check the timing, but I’m not sure how to do it. What tool (light gun?) do I need for this job and how is it done?

I picked up a new Triton AT88 trailer a few weeks ago. I debated long and hard about making an old trailer work for 2 machines and decided the old bolted together trailer would need too much time, effort and money to make it do what I needed.

So now I have a new aluminum trailer with a wood deck. It is supposed to be marine grade plywood, but i would like to cover it with something to protect the wood from stains and UV damage.

I was thinking about using the left over bed liner I used when I got my truck a few years ago. Would that be best or would simple stain or paint work better?

Any suggestions or experiences?

Hi guys, I recently bought a 2006 yamaha grizzly 450. I have had a couple of problems with it.

First is that the coolant reservoir cap has come off and there is no coolant left. Does any one know where I can source a replacement cap in the uk and what coolant is best to use or if I can just use any coolant mixed with water?

Secondly when I was checking the coolant I came accross these two pipes that aren’t attached to anything as cam be seen in the images. Does any one know what these could be?

Also does any one have any helpful hints and tips regarding this atv?

I am really enjoying this atv and want to get it back to normal as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Joe

Hey guys, went to back my 08 Sportsman 500 up the other day and had some problems. Engine started fine. Put it in reverse and a second after I gave it some gas it shut off. The engine and screen. But immediately the screen would turn on. This kept happening and I noticed the it only did it if I gave it gas. If it was in neutral or park it would stay on, but in drive or reverse with gas it shut off. The weird part is if i give it just a tiny bit of breaking i could get it to go.

I plan on taking it in real soon to get it fully serviced and ready for ice fishing season, but dont want to pay up the pipe if its something simple. A guy at work thinks i have a bag pre-filter. It isnt stored at my house so I havent gotten a chance to get over and look at that yet.

Im not much of a mechanic so I’d appreciate any help I could get.

Thanks guys!

I have a 2015 griz 700 and was wondering if anyone has rode with the front cargo rack off so it is easier to gain access to the hood?

I have an 05 660 grizzly that hesitates on takeoff and today when I went riding it would not go over 41 and then periodically it would slow down to 30 – 29 and then eventually go back up to 40 I don’t smell rubber burning so I don’t think the belt is the issue

Hi guys,

I’m new here, but I’ve been reading your posts for quite a bit of time to get some of my issues resolved on my 87 350 TRX. I’m unable to find out if the 86 rectifier/regulator will work on an 87.

Any advice would be appreciated. My main issue with the bike is either the stator or the regulator. This is the second regulator I’ve put on this quad and the battery will still not charge, but I did buy the second one used.

I’ve tried checking to see if the stater is working correctly, but I’m not good with electrical issues nor do I know how to test the stater. I did put the tester on the battery while the motor was running, and I was only getting 10-11 V. The original owner didn’t have a battery hooked up for his quad for quite a bit of time, so I’m wondering if it really is the stator.

Thanks for any help you guys can give me.
