Hopefully Yamaha will put a V-twin in one of their Grizzlys in the future

Kinda what I was thinking, though the 700 single is a pretty peppy engine. At least introduce a sportier side by side like the rzr or maverick with a big v twin in it. The rhino was the pioneer of the side by side craze but Yamaha hasn't even made an attempt to create a pure performance side by side. The Viking is fine, but its much more utility minded.

I'm sure they'll do something by the year 2016 or 2017, to add a V-twin in their lineup. I think the Grizzly's would be the perfect 4wheeler if so.

I'm thinking about getting the STI MudTrac tires now. Looks great and affordable

Nice! I've been looking at getting 28" Zillas on 14" wheels for my Outty. Was also thinking of doing a radiator relocation kit and snorkels. Just don't want to get stuck out there on the trails if I have the urge to hit a big mud hole haha

Well, this Summer I'm gonna get a new four-wheeler or side by side. Can't decide on which one I want. I got two currently '02 Honda Foreman 450ES & an '04 Honda Rancher 350. They have been great, very durable and hasn't had a problem out of 'em, except when I get stuck in the mud! haha.

 

So, my plans are to get a Yamaha Grizzly 700 or a Honda Rincon 700. Which one would be more fun? The Grizzly would be more enjoyable, imo. Greater acceleration, more speed, better 4wd and looks aggressive. The Rincon would be more durable, less problems probably, and more of a controlled bike.

 

Thought about getting an Kawasaki Brute Force or a Suzuki King Quad, but they just don't appeal to me. Brute Force & Can-am have V-Twins, but just not really interested in them.

So far I prefer Yamaha the most.

 

Then there is the market thats coming along pretty good is the side by side.

Only one thats really dominating the market right now is the Polaris RZR's,

If I do get one of those, I like the RZR 800.

 

What do you guys have or what to perfer?

Why you like it & not like about it.

Thanks.

 

 

 

What kind of riding do you do? As nice as they are, a side x side just can't do everything an ATV can. Especially on the tighter, technical trails and things like that. Side x sides are nice for open areas and dunes, but for tight trials or rocky, rutted out areas, an ATV wins hands down.

Scrolled thru this thread and noticed nobody really talked about the Polaris Ranger. Ive got a 2014 800 and it's a pure workhorse. went riding with a bunch of buddys who have rzrs and I spent the day pulling them out and then playing in the holes they were getting stuck in. If you can tell me how to post a picture i'll show it to you. If I click the image link it asks me for a url???

50 miles of riding on Saturday, had a great day! We went on a lot of black trails (most difficult). I can't wait to install my tires.

I say a lot of things have been replaced. I wouldn't pay no more than $1,000 at most with all those miles, imo.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.

      Yes.  The 2.7 Turbomax has Active Fuel Management.  It is NOT the same as the V8s.  Totally different system.     Here is an article from GM when the 2.7 came out explaining the cylinder deactivation and the valve lift system.  Starts at the section called "SCS Valvetrain":   New Turbocharged 2.7L 4-Cylinder Engine Powers Full-Size Trucks – TechLink         This is an internet myth going around.  It was alleged that some 5.3s had this mystical 8th digit of the VIN as an "E" which somehow meant it had a new one year only 5.3 that didn't have DFM.  The writer of said article and the person that made the claim conveniently can't count because they posted the VIN.  The 8th digit was a "D" which meant its still the 5.3 with DFM.  The 9th digit of the VIN was an "E" and the 9th digit isn't the engine code.  At all.
