Over at the wolverine forums I notice more and more GC guys popping up with future purchases and new purchases .. as I don’t care much for that forum but I know alot of guys here are sharing the motor with the grizz I figured why not post it here instead.
First off I have about 2200 kilometers on it now 2 oil changes and one major service.
We will start with a list of small issues that have come up.
1. the springs on the kyb shocks have sagged slightly 1/2 inch. This was corrected with a small amount of preload and have had no issue since.
2. The coolent system seams to hold air at one spot so it was constantly dropping fluid level for the first 3 hundred K
3. I don’t get to ride it as much as I want t
4. It has the same lean issue as the grizz and runs very hot exhaust temps but not engine temps.
As far as things I like and have done I am sure most of you know from the other post I have made. One thing is for sure the machined primary slightly lighter weights and a stronger secondary woke this thing up quite well. It now has quite a bit of pep in its step and am very happy with the results.
Now with clutching I am thinking of going to Growlers 27.5 but I may wait till the big horns wear off. I have had not one hiccup with the machine not one trail fix not one "hmm moment" I am very please and very glad I bought yamaha.
Again ot is not a race machine and feel it earns the same rep as the grizzly with the very good at everything machine. And will kill other brands in rock crawling and climbing. (Proven not speculated)
It proved well as a utility hauling firewood it proved well as a fun machine drifting corners with ease. I for one would recommend this machine to anyone looking at this class of utv and will say you won’t be disapointed. I do still have an itch for the yxz 1000 but can’t justify it at this point with my available riding time. And pictures of rides also lack as my photographer had a kid 6 months ago and I focus on beer more then the camera .. I promise to get better in the spring …I promise
Future plans will be changing the green front to satin black (green drives nuts when everything else is black.
Better stereo
And a folding front windshield
