Yamaha Grizzly 700 and 550 Project Upgrade to 2016 Standards and Beyond

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

View Full Story HERE atvondemand.com/yamaha-grizzly...
For 2016, Yamaha did a virtual redesign of their Grizzly 700... A two-inch increase in width in the past few years in combination with new suspension settings, updated ergonomics, and a new, more powerful engine yield a somewhat familiar, yet totally improved, machine.
If you have an older Grizzly 700 like our relatively pristine 2010 model, therree are many things that can be done to bring its performance up to 2016 standards and beyond. With so many of these machines out there, we decided to build a generation 1 Grizzly that can play harder out on the trail while providing a higher level of comfort and control. If you own a Grizzly 550, nearly all of these upgrades will work for you as well.
Of -course, if you’re the owner of a well-worn, older Grizzly, trading up to a new machine will definitely be the most cost-effective way to go, and the improvements to the 2016 model provide a good amount of incentive to do so. This project is best suited for older Grizzly’s in very good shape that may already have a few add-ons, and could benefit from a few more.
Conclusion
While the generation 1 Grizzly 700 was getting long in the tooth as years go, it is still a competitive machine by today’s standards. Whether you want more power, stability, better traction, suspension, durability, improved comfort and control, better visibility at night, or all of the above, all of the products we used delivered as advertised. InN the beginning, we wanted to make our Gen 1 Grizzly better for long days of aggressive trail riding;, in the end, we got exactly what we wanted.

    Exciting video!! It looks like the 2016 Grizzly's front wheels stay much more straight and stable on harsh landings than the previous models, which seem to really toe in and wobble as the front shocks compress (more noticeable in slow mo shots in this vid and others) I haven't heard or seen any comments (good or bad) about this from any reviewers. Yamaha must've made quite a change to steering geometry.

However, Mickey Dunlap from Four Stroke Tech has motor kits for them and can give you lots of good hop up ideas for the chassis and suspension as well.

    Peter Meulbroek it would be a bit easier to give you a definitive answer if we had tested the 2016 and newer model with both clutch kits. We would highly recommend deferring to Epi for this question. We have found them to be extremely helpful. Please let us know which one you decide to go with and why we would like to know.

    +Bubba D Thanks for the insightful comment. If you noticed, we pointed out that while our shocks retailed for $1,900 Works can build you a set of custom shocks without reservoirs for a couple hundred more than new stock shocks. That makes them a far better value than purchasing new stock replacement shocks. Now, if your shocks are worn out and you don't care, well you will save lots of money on parts.
