Thanks for writing. Yeah that's a great option on these, vs a Polaris or Can-Am - I would confidently buy a used Grizzly. Part five, all about suspension is next, probably a few months away though. Thanks again.
Yes, I took my 2008 Grizzly SE to Eric to be Dyno Tuned. I also have the EHS Airbox, Intake, Programmer & Barker's Exhaust too. I made 37.8 whp. Love it. Also Love my Elka Shocks. I like that Handlebar set up you got. I'm gonna be looking into that. Don't forget to get the ROX Oversized Footpegs too.
Awesome! Yeah peg upgrade is needed on the Grizzly. I went with the Genuine Yamaha Accessory pegs. They seem to work fine so far, but I do like the big beefy Rox pegs, both will work much better than stock for sure.
Eric knows his shit when it comes to grizzlies. I’m running his air box and lid and EHS tuner and AIS delete and 2R tip on my 2018 Grizzly . Love it ! Next is the single Barkers and ELK’s
It depends on how you ride we bought a 2003 660 and it didn't run and we got it to start and now it has run for about two years now and we plow snow, we get hay, and we run it when we are haying we run 40 across the field with it
What about water intrusion with the intake now being lower on the quad? I know ppl say they are fine but it’s a little low (by like 6-8”) and I’d be wary if I were riding wet trails. Although I’m sure it would be great in drier areas
So I put just the tuner on to cool the engine a bit and that works very well. Mine is a 2019 special edition with 27 inch tires from factory. My old 2012 arctic cat 550 2 up will keep up and a lot of times stay ahead of 700. I think yamaha dropped the ball on these machines
The tuner and airbox makes sense to make motor happier and run properly, you gain 2-3 hp also which is nice. The exhaust and especially the duals is completely useless.. 500-800 for exhaust when it adds 1-1.5 hp is not noticeable and completely useless. Plus the grizzly idles soo damn high all the time it is loud always, even with quiet core in.. everyone out there skip the exhaust always… use your money on a winch and skid-plates or something that protects the bike and helps you in other areas.
Hi, Do you know if there is any or much difference in the engine and clutching of a new 700 Kodiak vs a Grizzly. The only thing I am aware of is heavier wts in the Kodiak clutch?? Thanks
I'm not sure about that. Yeah I think it's just some weight, or maybe color coded springs?? I think the Kodiak has heavier weights and thicker springs for a smoother feel and lighter on the Grizzly for more aggressive riding.
I don't think it would perform as well. I think without the hole in the lid it wouldn't be able to gulp more air, which is the main ingredient in making more power. The outerwear is very durable and basically repels water... but I probably should have dipped it in water to see how waterproof it really is. This is a good question though. If you plan on doing a lot of river crossings I don't blame you for not wanting to do this.. If so, I bet Eric has a solution for you - maybe a bigger air intake tube?? You might hit him up and ask. Report back here if you find a more water-proof system. Thanks!
@@ATVScene prick you said it comes with the exhaust so go grab 1 measure it for the guy o rite hes not buying the parts from you so you say this to him you pos By the way stock yamma not gonna melt a piston single slip-on exhaust is good enough barker dual twice this n that but also you failed to mention twice the money
I believe EHS has a kit for your older model Grizzly, but it's not nearly as needed as the newer ones since they now have stupid power-sapping emission issues.
2018 grizzly here , almost 10,000 miles no issues all stock . Any one else have higher miles? Stock vs. Stock how does the 708 power delivery feel compared to the new 686 ? I ride by myself alot and I'm thinking on trading up for a 2022 . ( I'm still on the original belt by the way ) Mostly forest roads and atv trails in northern michigan , prolly average 35 mph . A little slower in winter pushing snow , 25 to 30 in 4×4 high.
That’s good to know. I have an 2018 grizzly 700 with EHS tuner and airbox and duel Barkers. I have about 3000 miles on mine. Run Amsoil Synthetic Dirt 10W-50 in the winter and summer up in the NE. 2500 miles on this without any issues at all. She’s a beast!
Over 12,000 miles and counting. 2002 silver limited edition 660. 100% stock. I believe it has the same motor as what is out again. 686. We ride. Through sagebrush, rock fields, irrigation ditches, farm work, and anything you can think of. Extremely Hard. Just changed the Belt at 11,300. Other than that, nothing. Loved the machine so much, I bought the 22 XTR. I have an 850 outlander, Honda rancher, and tried Polaris. Nothing is in the same class for ground clearance, ride, nimble and weight and reliability.
My suspension video is coming later this summer. I went with Elka Stage 5 shocks with remote reservoirs in the rear. They're outstanding! You'll also have very similar success with Elka Stage 3 or 4 shocks.
It's awesome. Not arm-yanking power but to tell the truth I really don't want that. this is meaty power everywhere, great to help you get over obstacles easier, and great for low end torque to muscle through anything in your path... it's so much better, you'll love it.
I can't believe people are still buying the Grizzly. Nothing has changed from the 2015 models. The only thing that did is tire size center dash cluster and third light. You probably spent 3k more than I did on my 2016 Grizzly 708. The Grizzly is still sitting on a 550 chassis. The 550, 660, 686, 708, and back to the 686 all are one the same chassis. Very little has been upgraded through the years.
@@SuperDave-pe1zw 9,800 sticker price. Mine was 9,900 with an extra set of alloy rims tires and a 2" receiver. After extend warranty, taxes, intrest, prep, freight, tire disposal fees and DMV registration was $13,000. 13k out the door.
Let us know how this works out when you put on the elka's. I ended up putting a slip on because I saw somebody with elka's and the duels and they rubbed. I also got coops mod and changed the secondary clutch spring. It's much more responsive.
I will more than likely be running piggyback Elkas in the front and Elkas with remotes with larger canisters in the rear. I may tinker with the clutch, not sure yet. I hate to lose any reliability because the main focus for this build is to make it from NC to OR without issues, more so than improving the response for racing.
I don't know either. I think he purchases different ATVs for testing, he probably wanted to make sure his Grizzly improvements reacted the same way on the Kodiak.
I added this tuner two days ago to my 2008 grizzly. What the hell am I doing 🤦🏻♂️😂😂… I was running hot that’s why I bought it. I read the instructions pushed buttons now my quad stalls out. I’m 99 percent sure this is user error. I need help
Speak for yourself bud, idk where you're from, but I catch fish and pull deer. They might not be cheap out of the gate but my second hand and fixed myself boat and quads are tools to feed the fam bud.
It will fit fine, but you will want a remote on that corner if possible. If not you can make a heat deflector to help the cause, but if you ride it hard all day the shock oil will get too hot.
Engines make advertised HP/TQ usually on a benchtest. It different when it's in a vehicle and actually under a measurable load, turning a driveshaft, etc.
Really? Yeah. I’m new to this shit. I’m trying to learn the “do’s & do not’s.” You gotta fuckin probably with that? If you have information. Share it. Don’t be a cunt about it. I bought my mom this machine. $12,000. I’m just lookin to make stuff last for the long term. Some times you internet people are cunts.
Good eye.. It does kinda sound like it had a little more to give there, I probably could have shot that better - it may have been a warm up run. Eric made three passes then averaged them together.
I mean as in the kit ? It would be the same then really looking in to it live in Alaska and just got a 2021 700 grizzly eps xts-r new have it put together a the deal and what it to last forever and as bullet proof as possible
@@ATVScene it's not the same, in 2020 Yamaha lowered the gears again so it can run the 27 inch tires. My 2021 has 26" zillas and it rips ! It's like riding a Raptor, can hardly keep the front tires on the ground, it's way more responsive than my 2019. So I don't know if it needs a updated tune from EHS ???
I can understand where you might think that, but I have to say it's a noticeable gain. The quad is more responsive. I can now use the throttle to get over obstacles easier, which makes riding it more enjoyable. I think it's worth it.
I love Yamaha but you can do what ever you want to that 700 but my 570 can am will blow it away every time sorry but its true .I no because I have had two Yamaha Grizzlies.
I will say I agree, wifes got 2020 grizz 700, I have 2019 king 750, daughter has 2019 570 xt canam, and the 570 twin will out run them both with ease,not even a hope or prayer of keeping up out of the hole she rolls off and just keeps pulling away
This is crazy.. a canam 570 has more power stock then a gross with all these mods.. If your buying a grizzly for power then you are slow on the head lol.. you buy a grizzly cause of comfort and reliability… if you want power you but any 570+ Polaris or canam lol.. come on people it isn’t hard to understand this..
14:45 of course you can't get lower on fuel than stock because it is so primitive tuning.. it just says to the ecu that engine is cooler than it should be richer 🤣 it is so dumb, how about other important variables...
@@TOMMYVQ sorry tommy I disagree. If you want to go fast you buy a go fast machine not a trail machine. The Grizzly is built to be a dependable machine. When you start doing stupid things like this there is a price to pay down the road. I am 63 years old and I have learned a lot after 50 years of riding off road. Doing these mods for a couple of HP. No thank you. Stock is good enough for me 😊
Yamaha Grizzly is officially shit. Yamaha dropped the ball with the 708. Again going back to the 686. Then again not upgrading it with the 850. Yamaha has forgotten the Grizzly and Viking. 3 strikes Yamaha you lost a customer here. I'd rather go with a Cfmoto than a Yamaha ATV. And I did sold my 2016 Grizzly 708 and bought a Cforce 800xc
I got 3 miles on my Grizzly then a electric problem that took 88 days to figure out along with 2 others down the road. 3 calipers locked up. Foot brake pedal locked up. Blown both rear shocks. Body Clips rusted and seized up. Frame rusted out within 1.5 years and the motor needed to be rebuilt at 288 miles. Oh and I bent two 2" tow receivers. Trying to put in food plots. Yamaha's tow receiver are no where near HD. My Yamaha spent more time in the shop than it did in my posession. 13k is what I spent total for my 2016 Grizzly 708 eps. I spent 8k cash on my cfmoto Cforce 800xc. Definitely more machine for the dallor. The only thing I miss from Yamaha is they're CVT system.
I can appreciate that airbox conversion.. Looks sharp..
Very interesting I"ve been interested it a yamaha for awhile now great videos.
