I really think you guys nailed it with this build. I can't wait to see how it turns out! It's nice to see that you're still willing to spend some time on the Grizzly. I'd love to hear how it compares to the Renegade and Scrambler when it's finished.

[@macmccartney5760]

Thats the most badass looking grizzly ive ever seen.. It looks like an older revamped quad.. Kinda like a modern banshee

Looks great! Never thought a Grizzly could look so sporty. looking forward to the next vid.

It looks like a beast already. I think I might start stripping down my 09 Kodiak!! :)

[@AHG93]

I love how this wheeler looks. Id love to do something similar with my sportsman

[@jakemccann2790]

Great looking build to a trusty do all machine . I laughed when I saw that you drilled the rivets out for higher foot pegs , because I am drilling my XTR pegs out to remove them for flat floor. I ride with my heel back against the fender and I stand up 90 percent of the time , so the pegs tip my toes up . Great video , commentary and excellent show .

Thank you!!

[@garretth0707]

@@dirttraxtv do you know which bumpers will fit my 2002 yamaha grizzly 660?

[@J8ck_hoff]

if Yamaha was smart they would build a 1000cc v twin and absolutely crush the competition just with their 4x4 system alone i still dont understand why they haven't done it.

[@sladester2]

Polaris 4x4 is better than Yamaha's though..

+sladester2 lmao can only imagine.

[@motovlogs2727]

sladester2 no your crazy

[@G19Jeeper]

Thibault even if they made and 850 or 900, they'd clean house. I'm gonna wait until they do so. It took em a few years to design the YFZ1000 so maybe a VTwin grizzly is in the works

[@G19Jeeper]

sladester2 lol, not even close. I've driven and hauled loads with a Grizzly 450 and a Polaris 570. Guess which one I own? The Polaris is cheesy and the 4wd would only kick in after you needed it. A selectable switch as simple as Yamaha cannot be beat. And Yamahas CVT completely shits on Polaris. I've towed twice the load with my Grizzly as I could with the Polaris and the Polaris has a larger engine and frame

[@shawnmcclure7282]

Really like this build! Looks superior and i bet with that 4x4 and locking diff and fuel map that thing will shred mountains

[@Driftuner]

wow..that has to be one of the coolest looking atvs ever

[@dirttraxtv]

Thanks Pe Peroni

[@loga250]

definitely thinking about doing a build very similar to this when i get my new grizzly!

[@Z4ayCOD]

Good Stuff. Rode dirt bike 98% time when I am trail riding. With the explosion in the SXS/UTV market, I would still prefer to have a utility fourwheeler like this one. It a great build and just adds to my personal likein'!! Going to watch the Part 2 video to see the results!

[@matttheriault7620]

Maybe Yamaha will bring back the wolverine name with a model similar to this , a grizzly 1000 and a wolverine 1000 would probably be a big hit.

[@luisangel031]

very Nice Idea!!!!

[@gregrowe1168]

At least a 700 Wolverine, they already have the chassis, just modify it a bit to fit the 700 engine. Keep the rest of it the same, no low range or diff lock and no irs to keep the weight down. It would probably be a bit fatter around the mid-section with that bigger engine but would could still look basically the same.

[@lawrencebrown8708]

Yep.yep!!!

I like the idea with the independent suspension rides much better than the straight axle.u young guns will understand this we hen ur 40.I had a 450 wolverine and it rode way to ruff but loved the looks

I like the grizzly look that u did I have 1999 grizzly 600 with large tire and a 2 inch lift. Like the way works in the mud.

are banshee's supposed to be on road or...

[@Yohnie125]

Eric Roach wtf are u asking?

[@ericroach7327]

He said it looked like an off road banshee, arent banshees off road vehicles? so i am asking if they "are supposed to be on road" because the inference i make from his statement is, that a banshee is not used off-road due to the "off-road VERSION" part of what he said

[@Yohnie125]

Eric Roach oh yeah I get it now

Banshee is for Offroad but it looks like atv version of banshee

[@lordestef]

Excelente trabajo, sigan asi!! saludos desde Costa Rica

[@marioniekamp9972]

The purpose of the build was to make a machine that can do more than work. The 700 makes decent power. The upgraded shocks makes it handle better. Cutting the plastics to give more of an agressive look like a scrambler or original worlverine. Now keeping the rear rack may have been a decent idea. Now not saying that machine id going to spin a tire out of the rim, but might keep it on the rim if contacting a stump or large rock.

[@AvoID74]

Yes plz , give it to me ! It looks great !

[@Outdoorseh]

Hi how did you make the bumper fit the grizzly ?

[@thundermountainatv]

quite interesting ,you should have went with taller tires , you are going to be way off on ground clearance , wider a-arms should have been used , with forward and rearward sweeps and dont forget to tell us when done the cost of this mod vs the scrambler /renegade ... good video and I hope this signals Yamaha getting back into the sport sector of ATV/SXS models

[@lincolnkestner7261]

+Dirt Trax Television First of all I want to say well done, after watching this build I have really been wanting to find myself a Grizzly 700 EFI, and do something similar, the only thing that I wish you would have touched on more is power aspect compared between the 3. How does this build feel compared to the scrambler and the Renegade's power with the new exhaust and fuel programmer?

[@dirttraxtv]

+Lincoln Kestner It feels very potent, but up against a 1000 twin it obviously has limitations. That said, still a great riding machine and one of our favourite mods to date.

[@lukemoxley4033]

It's a GYTR accessory for a pure sport ATV and I think he modded it a bit. Had to cut and weld and hammer and bend to get it to fit on correctly.

Looks like a nice rig but I much prefer 2wd because they are almost always lighter and more nimble and if you roll it will be less damaging most likely. I also would not run hand protecters because they could break your hands also why I use break away levers.
