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.

[@gageroberts5072]

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

[@xGR1MxREAPERx]

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.

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.

[@travismulford9691]

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.

[@romper4444]

Never could figure out why the stock brute 750's rated at 49hp on efi models feel SO MUCH faster than the 700 grizz rated at 50hp? Is it just the maybe im guessing 15 more lb ft of torque the vtwin probably puts to the wheels over this dyno here at roughly 27lb ft stock? The clutching on the Brute feels like modified clutching when stock too, how do they compare efficiency wise to yammys stock clutching?

[@Constantstate]

Great video! Thanks

[@rzl07375]

Great stuff here but you may wanna re think the clutching and try a machined sheave from Coop.

[@joeellis2692]

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.

[@ATVScene]

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.

[@bryanstaten5585]

Would that airbox work well with the mapping without the lid cut?

[@ATVScene]

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!

[@SuperBigdanno]

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

[@pete3272]

I noticed Eric from EHS said he had 2 Kodiak 700’s. I wonder why he choose the Kodiak over the grizzly?

[@ATVScene]

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.

Kodiaks turn sharper. Tighter turning radius. Cheaper, less storage.

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.
