2700+ miles on my 2014 Grizzly and I have absolutely no complaints. Well worth every penny spent on it. I do wish they made a 1000 model.
Have you had to change any parts due to factory malfunction other then riding it hard?!
BikeLife Savage Nope. Its bone stock other than the wheels/tires. Nothing has broke on it and the only thing I've done is change the oil.
Nice nice!
Happy trails mate!
Cheers!
BikeLife Savage Cheers!
What about the cvt drive belt?
bought my 2016 grizzly Eps last week. love this bike
I mike will stay with anything Yamaha until I die. my Yamaha has always been there for me it always starts
I Love the Steel racks
i went from a sportsman to a grizzly and i love the steel racks as well, fuck plastic shit
The grizz is a good bike I met this old guy out in the bush while hunting moose. He had a brand new Polaris sportsman 570. Said it was okay. But wished he had bought the grizzly Then he looked at my 24 year old Honda. And said. They build them Honda’s to last eh
Grizzly 👍
Yesterday I bought a brute force and just before I bought it I tested the grizz on the same track at the dealership. Then I road the brute force again. Grizz had better handling in the corners, and better brakes. But of course the brute force won because of throttle response, pipe and all around good feel. the BF low end torq was just what I was looking for. I can put on some radial tires and fox shocks to make it perfect. Ya, very happy with the purchase and I am going riding today.
until it breaks, and itll do it often
DirtTraxx, you make definetly the best tests on You Tube. I'm your fan!
I love the Grizz', but please... Yamaha, give us a stronger engine option!
+matmanmj Thank you! Yes, a one thousand would be awesome!!
+Dirt Trax Television Do you guys ever review a Suzuki Kingquad? Seems like u have a contract with only specific companies. We bought a new Polaris sportsman and Suzuki Kq 500 and the Suzuki blows the polaris out of the water in every category except handling at certain speeds. the polaris has 300 miles on it and already squeaks and feels worn and the kq has 500 miles on it and feels brand new. the acceleration and cvt on the kq is head and shoulders above the polaris. would be nice to see you review a Suzuki for once..
CrimsonBloodStar suzuki kingquad 500 4x4.
+CrimsonBloodStar go japanese and u will be solid
+CrimsonBloodStar i went to buy a honda but the suzuki offers diff lock and indep susp 4x4 500 for 7600$ with 0 percent interest. the honda would cost 10g for all that.
Dig your review, bud. 👍🏻🤘🏼
Great review, would you have a Grizzly 700 over a Rincon 680?
I'm in such a bind... I love this new Grizzly and want to upgrade from my 09 700. It's been the best ATV I've ever owned but it's starting to show it's wear and tear... But, I need a SxS so my wife can come along.. I need more money Lol!!
Great review as always!!
For those that don't know the 16-18 grizzly had the 708cc engine yamaha subbed out from subaru because of a tsunami that took out their engine plant.
VERY NICE VIDEOS AND -REAL TESTS- NO FAKE THINGS-
WHAT ABOUT SALE IN GREECE? I HAVE SEEN THIS MODEL HERE IN GREECE
hey love the vids. i have a question that i feel no one has a answer to and that is yamaha's ultramatic cvt is so durable why wouldn't can am and polaris use a cvt like it. i love the grizz but own a xmr 100 and wish i had yamaha's cvt.
To Yamaha, Leave the steel racks ALONE...
Disagree, but thanks for the comment!
I prefer the steel racks at least when it's - 25 out. I can bounce my chainsaw off my racks and not worry about cracking any plastic like the Polaris Sportsman.
56pw yep not a fan of plastic racks no way to tie stuff down properly
i agree 100% i hate the plastic shit other atvs have, yamahas racks are 100% fine
56pw steel is the best.
I agree it's time for a vtwin. and they need some better tires from the factory other than that I love the grizzly
They should make a sport 4x4 with the Phazer motor.
has anyone snorkeled their 2016 grizzly? i want to do mine but its a lot different fro. the older models
also if you relocate the radiator the light on the handle bar becomes irrelevant
+Dirt Trax Television yamahas yxz 1000 was a hit I think a 1000 cc grizzly would put them as a competitor with Polaris and can am also we need an all sport atv from them to compete with the scrambler! Great vid thanks for ur time and God bless
Looks like the new models have front/rear hydraulic brakes now. I had a 2008 Grizzly 450 it always had starting issues, and the CDI was bad in it, the thing would get hot and shut down :(.
Solid review but I have to disagree about it being a great value. I'd say now that the kodiak models are the greater values, same motor just slightly tuned different. If Yamaha would would make a twin for a bigger price tag then yes obviously the grizz 700 would be a great value imo. That being said I always look forward to the reviews and your opinions!
+SuperCracker Wade A twin in the Grizzly would be fantastic. The base Kodiak is a fantastic ATV. Great value.
how is the motor long in the tooth? it is all new for the 2016 model year. this is not the 686 of old this is the all new 708cc engine.
No it isn't. It is a revamped 686 which is a revamped 660.
You sure? Their website shows 708cc in the 2016 grizzly.
www.yamaha-motor.ca/products/details.php?model=4665&group=YT&catId=19&year=2016#ts
Yeah this has the new 708cc dohc motor.
i have a question for dirt track television , if i put in front 26-9-12 in front and stock is 26-8-12 do i need a clutch kit ?
dont think so ,got the same setup no difference felt
yamaha grizzly 700 eps and 550 eps good
Nice honest evaluation. I agree with the assessment of the racks. Even though bigger and beefier than previous model years, they put me in the mind of the original Toyota FJ. Tough but UGLY! They are lacking in aesthetics. Every man loves looking at a nice set of racks.
can you do a vid on a 2016 suzuki kingquad 750 ps. id hate to argue but i feel that bike clutch is way smoother and the bike 8a overall better youd be surprised. i own one but ive tried both.
We've ridden the 2016 KQ but have not had aunt to evaluate unfortunately. If we can get our hands on one, we'll do a review on the show. Stay tuned!
+Dirt Trax Television that be amazing thx. would love to here your opinion on my baby lol.
Torn between getting a new Grizzly 700 EPS or Sportsman 850.... I wish Grizzly came out with a bigger engine...
i love my 2016, too bad mine doesnt have eps.
Shouldbi buy a grizzly or sportsman
👍
I love the steel grizzly racks. They are perfect for hauling out moose meat
Hi Dirt Trax, I want to know how does the Grizzly motor copare to the Brute Force 750? The last model of the grizzly wasn't so far and the the new motor makes me think it could be tight for this year. I know the grizz can't be compared to an outlander 1000, but will I be desapointed to change my 2013 Brute Force for a 2016 Grizzly? Even if a single cylinder only makes low-end torq, the cvt might not hide it?
+Alexandre Well, the BF motor is a twin and the Grizz is a single. You're just going to get more jam out of a twin. However, the Grizzly motor does feel smoother than the BF motor. Both are CVT and shift very smoothly. Does that help?
+Dirt Trax Television Yes thank you. But is the power just "smoother" or not in the game with the BF and outlander 850?I’m looking for a sport and comfortable ride. Also, I ride my atv with tracks for the winter and this is mainly why power is important for me. So, after riding a BF, can I find that the Grizz is not enough or it's just different?
Thank you for your answer and for all the awesome videos.
+Alexandre I've ridden a 2013 grizzly. I've also ridden a 2007 BF 750. Pretty big gap between those years right? The BF out-does the grizzly by far in performance and was not disappointed in comfort either. Saying the BF is not as smooth a ride only means that when you punch the throttle, you're going to like it a lot more than the grizzly. My advice? Go with a brute. The name fits.
Hello, je trouve que les utilitaires ne sont pas bien montrés, car ils sont destinés aux travail ou à la randonnée et il manque les accessoires ou autres outils pour la présentation. Sinon la partie performance et mécanique est bien présenté. Merci pour la vidéo!
Honda, Suzuki, Yami's light weight would destroy the overweight can ams and Polaris's if equal hp mills were powering them.
The power is low on a grizzly. Only 48 , but can be increased to maybe a max of 60 with the right modifications and parts. Still, eventhough polaris' engine is a pro star it produces 44 horses, and it is a 570. (Yamaha has very restrictive exhaust, you can buy a high performance exhaust and get 8 extra horses, and that is a lot for an exhaust)
I think Yamaha is just taking it slow. I've read reviews where they say how the Can-Ams and Polaris's are great bikes and have plenty of power, they just wish they took is slower and focused on other things other than that. I think Yamaha isn't going to make this mistake. Give it time, if their Grizzly 700 can do this just imagine what another 100cc or 300cc engine could do. As much as I want them to just release something big already, I imagine it'll be well worth the wait.
please yamaha give us a 1000cc 2 up model!
tyler phaneuf : $$$$$$ the 850 polaris 2 up comes off at 14,768.32 plus tax k so what would yam cost.
I don't understand why yamaha doesn't put more power into these
+Cloudz Because it is a low speed/work ATV. It doesn't need a lot of speed but it does need the low end torque of a single cylinder engine.
+Barack Hussein Osama you mean low end torque of a twin cylinder engine.
TheCamaro5 twins make their power higher up than single cylinders do
Barack Hussein Osama But still, this thing has almost the same HP as my 500.
Cloudz
Yea I believe they are 37 or 40 hp.
And they were stock
If it’s good don’t change it
I'm not buying another grizzly. Heck I've only got 3,600km on mine and it's going down hill now. My friend's with Honda have over 7,000km and have not had one problem. Not to say the gas boiling problem left me on the trail stranded a few time's already. I'm going Can Am, everyone seem's to be switching to them and so am I.
Kyle Fitzgerald gas boiling???
@@chrispotts2808 lol
Hp ??
My 2016 Yamaha grizzly 700 beat my friends 2016 can am outlander 800 in a offroad race Yamaha is the best
To bad there is no such thing as a 2016 Can-Am 800 Atv....
To me the Honda rincon 680 will destroy the grizzly! I love my little Honda and there atvs are more reliable to me never let me down and I beat the living crisp out of it!
+infamouscoma886 I've got friend's with Honda's that have well over 14,000 km and have had not one problem and their atv's are still running strong. And they don't have a gas boiling problem.
+Kyle Fitzgerald that's why I love Honda there amazing I've got a little recon 250 for now and you have no idea how bad I beat that thing and I've only had to do breaks and a carb clean because I go though deep mud a lot! That's it I've probably put well over 600miles on it in like 2 years and I don't ride a lot but when I do I go for a while!
infamouscoma886 Yeah, right now I own a 450 Kodiak and at first I was impressed but as it now has 3,600 km on it I'm not to impressed. I'm getting can am now. As much as I want a Honda I really would rather have the torque and power. But thinking of getting a 500 Rubicon irs for just a road/screw around atv. Because the can am I'm getting is an XMR 850 and don't really want those 30 inch Silverback's wearing down fast.
+infamouscoma886 Would be a great shootout.
+Dirt Trax Television I know maybe down the road when they realize a new rincon!
We will never get a 850 or 1k grizzly yhamma should have made them 4 years ago like everyone else
I want steel racks, not ugly shitty plastic you find on others!
9k for that haha no thanks
Fair enough
Yamaha needs to stop decorating the same cake year after year. Step it up to a twin. Maybe even a bigger motor. Imagine the rep Yamaha would gain if they were to make a grizzly 1000 model.
IS .....YAMAHA .......EVER GOING TO PUT A TWIN IN THERE ATVS !!!!!!!!! OR ARE THEY GOING TO WAIT ....TILL THEY HAVE NO CUSTOMERS LEFT ????????????????????????????
john kennedy
2020 but that's not looking promising so don't hold your breath
