Good job man!! I’ve got one just like it except it’s red. Lol. I bought mine for 100 bucks and practically restored it and it’s been an awesome bike. So far I’ve had it for 3 years and haven’t had any problems with it. I think I’m gonna have to do exactly what you are doing pretty soon though because that’s the only thing I didn’t do after I bought it was replace the wet clutch so thanks for the info my friend. Good luck with yours and have fun when you can. Lol

[@wheelssqueals]

Thanks man! I love my bike too even though some days it's a pain in my butt lol I'm just about to drop the Part 2 video. Hopefully they help you out when you change yours! :)

Doing my wet clutch right now lol on my green 1999 grizzly about to haul the wet clutch off wondering if the nut is treated backwards

[@wheelssqueals]

Hey man sorry for the late reply. It was lefty loosy righty tighty.

[@HARDCOREGHILLIE]

What size was the nut on that holds the wet clutch on?

[@wheelssqueals]

Hey it was a 24mm or 15/16.

[@HARDCOREGHILLIE]

One more question did you ever run it without the cover off and if you did at idle did the sheaves spin? I just replaced my wet clutch and am having the issue where I go into reverse and I’m moving without any throttle at all. Any idea what might be going on?

[@wheelssqueals]

No I didn't run it with the side case off, but I had a similar issue and that would be the one way bearing is backwards. I accidentally put mine in backwards and it seemed to be jumpy without any throttle so I still drove it but it spun my new wet clutch apart. So I had to get a new one way bearing and take what was left of the wet clutch and a spare wet clutch and build my own. After that it was fine and ran great.

[@HARDCOREGHILLIE]

Thank you for the insight super helpful have a great day!

Bonjour c était pour savoir sur quel site avait vous trouvé la cloche d embrayage et l embrayage du 600 grizzly merci

[@wheelssqueals]

Hello I got the clutch from Muffs Motorsports off of EBay. They sent me a business card 401-315-2500 Ashaway, Rhode Island www.muffsmotorsports.com Hope that helps 👍

Hey man idk if ur gonna see this but I have the same grizzly and it’s making a scraping noise around the right rear wheel and I’m pretty sure it’s the bearing bc it’s been replaced before I got it any chance u had the same problem?

[@wheelssqueals]

I'm not too sure but my guess would be to check the brake drum. Maybe jack it up and wiggle that axle to see if there's play in it. Does it just scrape when you drive it or also when it's just sitting idle?

[@Kaidenceb74]

@@wheelssqueals when i idle and when i drive slow around 1-10 kmph.

How u know you need a new one. I know my grizzly now when you punch it itll hang for a quick second and make a quick squeel it may be a belt issue or clutch im sure its stock gear and needs replacing

[@wheelssqueals]

How I knew my wet clutch was bad, I was dragging a rock and it felt like my belt was bad so I took my side case off. The belt was a slight bit wore but knowing the bike is a 98 I went farther and glad I did cause the wet clutch was down to the metal. Changing it was night and day with amount of power I got back. Also put a new belt on while I was in there. I would say you're gonna have to tear it apart. 98-2000 wet clutch will work. Good luck man!

[@timr3627]

I got the same one a 98 grizzly 600 it is green mine will not hold it s back gonig done hill it is like it kicks out of gear I got to hold the brake not s w it might be wrong w it

[@wheelssqueals]

Hey man I would start with a new belt and try that first.. make sure you have gasket maker or a new gasket.
