Good god, i have an 86 Honda Fourtrax 250 and the headlight on that thing..... I don’t wanna talk about it

This is the best Grizzly transformation I've ever seen. Respect!

Now that’s pretty awesome. Reminds me of the good old days when they had race prepped Fourtrax and Wolverines out battling through woods courses before everybody went all wussy with SXS.

That's awesome, but those fenders you cut off were there for a reason.

Forget what everyone else is complaining about. This thing is badass! And to someone that's owned both this is the best of both worlds for a sport utility. Great job guys glad there's a company out there taking the time to do easy but super effective mods like this.

The fenders and headlights flopping around are just hilarious.

***** Yes for sure. We actually did some reinforcing after this was shot. Tightened things up quite a bit.

That's what the racks are for, the plastic isn't designed to be there without the racks to protect it. I would have simply left the racks on, that's the only complaint I have about the build. The stock front bumper on a Grizzly is crappy anyway, so replacing it with anything is an improvement. It could still be a sport utility with the racks still on. The reason it feels sportier is because you added power with the efi remapping and exhaust and upgrades in shocks and new wheel and tire combo. Yes, you saved a few lbs by removing the racks but you expose the flimsy plastic without the racks to protect it. The Scrambler DOES have racks, they're just very small and can't hold more than a small cooler or maybe a small toolbox just in case something happens trailside. Put the racks back on and I don't think you'll notice any difference except that it won't be quite as easy to get the front end in the air. Funny thing is, even with the racks on and completely stock, it still weighs less than either an 800 Renegade or 850 Scrambler. With irs, cvt and big twin cylinder engines, they're not exactly featherweights. Weight was never the issue for the Grizzly, power and handling was and with the upgrades, you significantly improved that. Even the new 450 4x4 sport utility from Arctic Cat weighs about the same as the Grizzly 700 and has LESS power.

Imagine a GRIZZLY 1000 4x4 EPS SE SPORT QUAD.

I love the new look I like the components you installed the only thing I would do different is make the front fenders a tad more rigid with some sort of aluminum bracket so the head lights aren't flopping everywhere other than that I love the machine

I'm thoroughly impressed guys. That thing looks aggressive enough to be in the same class. And probably rides a whole lot better over stock. I saw someone suggested Yamaha put in a twin. That would put it in the running for sure. I think 'ole Yamaha should take a closer look at this thing. As for everybody's comments about things flopping around and all that...... What do you expect when you take a die grinder to plastic fenders!? (Also the racks aren't there to keep it all together, that's why the fenders curve downward on the outer edges, 90 degree bends cause rigidity.)

Add some lightweight carbon fibre sheets under those floppy fenders! Otherwise it's perfect! Good job guys.

I wouldn't be surprised if Yamaha did something like this in the near future.

All that amazing work and you guys couldn't be bothered to reinforce those front plastics lol - absolutely love it though. Small detail on a highly detail oriented project.

Looks Great. Performance looks capable.

upgraded wobble lights lol. That looks funny as hell.

That's is sick to see some grizzly with full mods and turned into beast looking better and wish they have a descent bead locks mags with any custom styles rims for any quads brands

That looks awesome!

This was a nice act after the upgrades I agree and good to hear you done more to reinforced some stuff on it, if not it would have been a matter of time the plastic would have broke

How about you make sure the damn headlights don't move when you ride it. They are flopping about terribly, and making the atv look far less polished as it should. Just reinforce them and it'll be good to go.

How to make your utility quad more like a sport quad: 1. Sell the utility quad. 2. Buy a sport quad. 3. ??? 4. Profit. Utility quads are for you know, utility! All that stuff he did on that track, a sport quad was built for and will outperform a 4x4.

I know you had to make the sponsors happy, which is why you guys used the MBRP exhaust I'm guessing but, the barkers exhaust and EHS racing programmer will give it more power then that pipe and programmer did. Solid build other wise!

Great job guys!! I'm sure this will start happening with real world Grizzly owners.

AJ you need to pull the WR700 out and do some motor mods to it! put 734 kit and Cam and then put it head to head with Renny and Scrambler! Firm up the fenders and let her rip!!!!!! Great Build GO YAMAHA!!!!

This makes me want to get a grizz to do this to haha looks like a wolverine but has that extra power !

The lights make it look like a new warrior

Thats was so awesome good vid guys

that's awesome where did you start to cut the plastic right as it started to curve up I really want to try this.

Thinking about doing something like this to a 2008 trail boss. Want to do something with the stock racks especially the front. Any thoughts?

What was the cost in comparison to a Renegade X xc or Polaris Scrambler ?? Super cool machine!!!! Love your vids

LOL! without the front storage rack the headlights have no strucktional support and flop around everywhere, but ll admit the mods to the plastic and removing the bumper gave it really a unique look

Looks great. Just need to figure oit how to stiffen those wobbly headlights.. They look like they will break off after about 20 or 30 more big jumps

Great Build !

I really like it, wish u would a left the side bumps or some of it. May have kept it from flopping around. Or build a light rail that mounts like the rack but gives the rack some support.

u named it the wr 700 after Yamahas wr dirt bike line

I made these modifications and ran the 2022 D6 Hare Scrambles.

Liked the video. Great idea did this in 03 with a kodiak 450 and you guys have made me think what's possible again. Only thing negative I have to say is mount the led pods solid with steel to the frame and brace the factory lights or take them off. Horrible finish to the video watching everything flap like a fucking bird

you should do a fallow up vid with the quad i would love to see more of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow that looks so sweet

Awesome!!! Upgrades...ball park figures?

Pretty sweet I like how you ditched the bumper for yfz. I have been looking into a suspension upgrade for my grizz. Really want longer a-arms but you achieved a good width with the wheels I think. I'm not a fan of wheel spacers and I run 12" douglas red labels that I would never change. If only a company made sport a-arms. How's the bump-steer considering the width? Doing a tear down this winter for bigger valves and porting and some other odds and ends. Going to stay on 93 octane tho. I'll share when I'm finished.

+tmills572 Go with some Elkas on all 4 corners. The best upgrade I ever made to my Grizzly. People are always impressed how this 4x4 can run with the sport quads and handle jumps like an MX bike.

Great experiment and Yamaha could make a bike like this to add diversity as an alternative to the regular set-up of a Grizzly 700. The light housings and fenders need to be stiffened up though. I imagine the shocks would make for a plusher ride over OEM shocks. The bars and stem look good too.

looks kinda like a 4x4 banshee lol

Quick question what modifications can I do to bring the top speed above 64 mph

What kind of exhaust do you recommend for the grizzly 660

OMG. Its not ugly anymore ❤

Can you do a sporty project on a grizzly 600 like this my grizzly is cutting it in the looks department

I want more riding clips with this

nice!! only downside was the headlight flop while riding. but that could be fixed with some aluminum reinforcements made in a cnc machine.

Should have had the sheave machined for more bottom and top end. Still a pretty neat build. I also think it needed some aluminum brackets to help that fender flop.
