I have a grizzly 660 that is new to me, but I think its an 06 model. Runs perfect as far as cranking, idling, riding down the road.
Today while duck hunting it stalled in high water and I noticed there was no plug in the bottom of the air box. We were miles and miles from any help and since the engine was not submerged, we tipped it on its rear for a bit to drain and then cranked it and it is running perfect as far as engine.
However, the belt (or clutch?) is now slipping. Give it gas and once you are past 1/4 clutch everything just revs but no power to the wheels. It is snorkled and one of the snorkles did blow some white smoke which smelled like burned water.
do the Grizzly’s have a sealed belt system that got water in it? Or is it a coincidence and the belt probably just needs to be replaced from normal wear and tear?
I need to expect this bike to perform well in high water on a regular basis, so if this is to be expected regularly I may have to sell.
