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.

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.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      2024 l8t . Ac has never felt really cold even new. But lately it seems a little warmer. When it gets in the upper 80s and a little more humid it just does not keep up. And sometimes at idle it gets warm. My wife's 2008 envoy is better. My son's 2016 is colder. I have an apointment for a third try Monday the 29th at a third dealer to try and get cold ac before my warranty is out. The first two told me something about so many degrees under ambient temp blah blah blah seemed like they didn't want to mess with me. This was set at low. Max air fan speed high. 87 degrees and a little humid.   .

      OCI, not when but why?

      It isn’t all that bad in the world with purchasing power versus quality. My first car had just basic equipment. My oil choice was conventional oil. The life expectancy was around 100K miles. During that time you could expect to change all the accessories. Today with inflation you can buy the equivalent. It comes fully loaded with 4 doors. The life expectancy passes 100K miles replacing no accessories. If reaching that milestone is your goal you simply follow the recommended service intervals. If you want more miles simply do more maintenance. When in doubt you can check the internet or YouTube for information. The selling of any product hasn’t changed since the beginning of time. The power of the buyer has. The price of the product hasn’t changed much with inflation. The buying public wants more. Competition and the buying public has put the sellers in a box. The greed is on both sides. You can still get more for less. You just have to do with less. That used to be popular. The buying public has changed . It’s the sellers that are trying to keep up. As Grumpy tries to inform the readers in this case with maintenance. If you want more. More effort is required. That information wasn’t available this easily just a few years ago. I believe the public has more power. Getting information is easier.

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      By SFC Retired · Posted

      Gentlemen, I'm new to this forum. My question is, I thought I have read somewhere that the rear wheel liners for 2024- 2026 GMC Sierra HD3500 DRW can/will fit the 2023. I can't seem to find that information again and wondering if anybody has any knowledge if these will work or not with the 2023? Part# is 84892542. Thank you for any information. The GMC parts counter wasn't able to give my any definitive answer?

      Spacers aren’t safe anyway, so you’re better off just buying something else.

      OEM Trailer Hitch Receiver - Impact tightened by shop

      Its because they have thread locking compound on them. I would bet money that they are actually reusable and not a literal TTY bolt because GM and most other OEMs don't trust techs and the end-user to apply thread locker properly in the same way they don't trust anyone to solder properly (and instead instructing crimps everywhere). Torque To Angle =/ Torque To Yield.   If you think dealerships or any technician replaces every 'discard' bolt in every procedure, I have a bridge to sell you.
