This is an awesome idea! I'm all for it. Let's make this happen this spring for sure.

There's a lot of context left out of this video. I'm sorry but to try to paint a Grizzly as a GNCC capable machine for a new rider or someone new to the sport is extremely disingenuous. There are numerous variables left out of his video that I won't get into.

@@ATVScene Did you buy that grizz at Xtreme in Brilliant? Looked like Xtreme.

Did you guys end up doing this shoot out?

Yamaha #1 - I run their sport quads

2018 grizzlys have a subaru motor in them not a yamaha motor like they should,,,if you got no problems with the top end burning lots of oil your very lucky bud,,cheers

@@crownroy4946 it was subcontracted by Yamaha to Subaru. Still met every spec that Yamaha asked and was inspected and driven by Yamaha before released. Just saying. My buddy has both kodiak and grizzly 708cc and neither one burns oil. The fan comes on alittle more ( from being hot ) but that’s it. They’re beasts

@@crownroy4946 issue wasn’t mainly for 2016 but fixed for 17 and 18

you know it. That was badly needed. I was lucky to get the start.. gotta find a few friends to shoot some footage for sure next time.

Thanks much, yeah I think a lot of people agree with my calling the Grizzly the ultimate 4x4! And with that they're hard to find, I waited two months for mine to arrive.

Thanks much! I think people take break in a little too far. The main thing is not getting it too hot the first few hours, seating the valves, and changing the oil. I did all that the first four hours. We shall see though, if mine falls apart maybe the GNCC at hour 5 was a bad idea.. but I don't think so, I think I'll put 5k+ miles on this machine in the next few years without any issues.

@@ATVScene I agree. It’s a Yamaha just keep the throttle pinned!!!!

Awesome thanks for writing. Your comment makes it all worth it. I love steering people from disappointing purchases.

I will admit the King Quad is an excellent choice and just as dependable as a Grizzly, but all in all I like the Grizzly better in every area.

What a great compliment. I really appreciate it, much better than the typical criticism you see in most comments on KZfaq from the many Internet trolls.

Thanks much. Hope your Kodiak is an EPS model. Yeah ride a few but not the whole series, I think a full GNCC season on any stock 4x4 will ruin it.

I so agree, - those of us who know, know it don't we? :) Curious what you've done? My build is taking a while, aftermarket is just as jammed up as Yamaha now days, but I'm pretty pumped at what I have on the way.

@@ATVScene I’ve had a lot of guys asking and I think I should toss a build video up on my channel, I’ve done a ton to it and have a bunch more coming this spring as far as power dynojet tuner is way better than EHS

Thanks much. Yeah I hear ya. I would probably call the TRX 250R the best ever ATV ever as well. The ATC 200X and LTR450 would also be high on my personal list. But when the name "ATV" comes up now days, I think most people think of a go-anywhere do-anything machine, their mind doesn't go straight to sport-level machines like ours, so that was my theory on naming this first video.

I've heard this from so many, even from competitors! EHS is where it's at no doubt. I will be talking with the man himself, Eric at EHS in North Carolina in my next video. I'm doing everything he suggests. I believe that's the EHS fuel controller, intake kit (with uni filter not K&N) and a full Barker's dual core with quiet cores. Is that what you did? Anymore, any less?? I don't think I want to do anymore than this, I'm big on reliability.

@@ATVScene that’s what I have too! Love the Barkers duals, he also offers a cam shaft and valve springs, it’s expensive but gives the grizzly 50 WHP. Would make yours rip hard!

That's great! Thanks for the great comment What changes did you make to race yours?

@@ATVScene 🖐️1st thing i did to mine is change of the seat(i did my own seat lowering 7cm and still being comfy enough,btw huge thing on stability , mounted wheel spacers 30mm and itp ss wheels(no beadlocks)higher foot rest - as its needed when You race on snow and snow gets cumulated on foot rest, making u sliding around on turns, all metal racks off, ricochet plates underneath, i would also need elkas and flexx bars but a bit expensive for now😉 but one day ill do it as i do not plan to sell especially that i done 150mth racing(no issues- nor one😁) love my Grizzly actually buying another one for my wife though 😉awaiting your GNCC vid😁🖐️

@@coolprezes5499 Awesome stuff. It's pretty darn cool that we even get to communicate with one another, being on opposite sides of the planet, much less have something so dear we have in common. Not many have tried to race a Grizzly, we're a select few I guess. I take it you shaved the foam out of your seat to get a lower center of gravity? How tall are you? I can actually see that as being a good idea, along with lowering the ride height.

@@ATVScenehi 😁 yeah Internet gives so much of possibilities these days👍i made new seat frame using epoxy and fibre sheets, it gives You about 5cm as grizz has a spacers underneath the seat frame and seat mounts (so i made it bottom flat😜)I'm 178cm and something about80kg, Grizz has a one problem which is space between axles (if it would be 7-8cm longer on frame would be ideal bike as it gets sketchy on some bumpy parts and intend to nose down and on downhills and pick up rear easily which gives u sometimes uncomfortable feeling down the slopes or sharp break peaks, but reliability is spectacular.GNCC races are the ultimate dream for me 😜when i travel to US must is to see one of theses races😁CU and all the best in Your riding if You have a onquad view clip post it on KZfaq im sure all grizzly lovers would like to see it😁👍keep on racing and posting hopefully ill get back soon as Covid comotion finally ends 🤦🖐️all the best👊

Great. That's a lot of abuse. What were some of the things that broke?

@@ATVScene i had an injector block one race caused a dnf, another race right top a-arm snapped about 1" from the top balljoint, frame cracked on the right rear downtube behind the diff near the towhitch mount. Look for me on Facebook and i can give you more details and pics. I did sone gusseeting to help after.

Anywhere but Polaris, they make shitty atvs

Thanks much! That was at Pine Lake Raceway & Trails in Ashtabula, OH. I need better action footage, I will be going to Hatfield McCoy Trails in WV in a few weeks, hope to have suspension, handlebars and tire & wheel upgrades by then. Get a Grizzly, you won't be sorry!

@@ATVScene awesome, thanks for the reply. Love your videos!

I have a set of Elkas on order. I've researched a lot, too many good things not to go for it. I will cover them in my next video.

Best video l’ve seen on grizzly 700. Can’t wait for your review on Elka

I think the extra cost is worth it, but my second choice is the KingQuad, it's a very well-made machine, just not as good as the Grizzly in my opinion. Government appointed groups, that control our emissions, are only awarded additional funding if they continue to come up with new ways to lower emissions. So as years progress manufactures will need to jump through more and more hoops, most cork up the machine, which isn't good for performance or longevity.

Kq doesn't come close to the Yamaha. Yamaha has better CVT, better EPS, better built, quicker and more low end torque.

I reviewed the new updated KingQuad. I explain this in the video. Here's a link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rL-Afa56t8XbqH0.html

@@ATVScene Thanks. So you feel the power delivery is better on the Grizzly.

@@rzl07375 Power is similar but I would give the edge to the Grizzly throughout the powerband.

WOW! Well done! 20k miles on an ATV in less than five years, that may be a record.

Not yet. Hope to tackle it in the next few years though.

@ATVScene I would so do that trip with you I also ride a 700 grizzly

@@PrzemekKluza awesome! Yeah I'll hit you up. I plan on creating a detailed invitation when I get more organized, I have four riders, including you, that are very much interested. It will be way more fun with a group of us.

Sorry for the delay, this got past me.. Yes, it's possible. Here's the link: www.transamtrail.com/

Definitely not. Elkas blow them out of the water

I have a 2008 Suzuki LTR. I love it as much as my Grizzly - I gotta say I need both machines :)

No prob.. how so?

@@ATVScene The only reason I'm saying anything here is I watched a video like this and then went out and bought a Scrambler and it held me back. I'm not here to be disrespectful on the Grizzly, but it's not competitive for GNCC. I think one of the biggest things you're leaving out is that CJ Raceway was a late addition to the GNCC circuit. That track was not indicative of a typical race. It was tight with no where to pass and was full of bottlenecks. If it had been a a typical race I think your perspective would be different. To say the Grizzlies have an advantage in the fields (while subjective), is misleading. It's harder to get the rear loose, and it doesn't have the HP to compete on tracks with a larger field section. As you stated, the low end grunt isn't there along with the HP for the fields. That adds up over the length of the race. Us "racer types" do leave the quads in 4wd, they handle better. About the start, if my memory serves me right, there were only 2 racers with 1K's, and an 850 won the race. We also all took it easy on the start due to people clobbering the hay bail on the 1st turn and the giant kicker after the turn. Finally, and I'll tread lightly here... as you stated that you've been into Powersports since you were 10 and you raced against guys who are beginners. Two of the guys in our class are physically disabled. I suggest that a gentlemen with your experience take the Grizzly to the 4x4 B or 4x4 Senior class to really make your point about the Grizzly's capability. In fact, there are several riders in 4x4 B, 4x4 Senior and 4x4 A that ride 570's. I really hope this doesn't come across the wrong way. I'm just trying to stop people who plan on racing from making the wrong choice, like I did.

@@PhillyLS1 Ok a lot of good points here. Thanks for writing. The 850 is still a lot bigger than the 686cc Grizzly, and Can-Am's Rotax engines make some serious horsepower compared to a stock Grizz. My theory was to enter a class that started in the back row to best get out of everyone's way. It was my first time I ever raced a 4x4 and I thought the Grizzly would be a lot slower especially in stock form so I figured it was the best class for me. Plus I'm a lot older and slower than I used to be now days. I will definitely enter the 4x4 Senior class next time, and by then I will have built up the machine to better tackle a GNCC. As for the field sections, I actually passed a few 4x4s and even a sport quad in the field areas. They looked like they were two-wheeling more than my Grizzly. I just felt very planted and precise, it handles really well for a big heavy 4x4. And I agree the Grizzly is not the best choice for racing GNCC, the Can-Am without a doubt gives the best chance for finishing well. My only reason for racing it is to show that while not the ideal choice, it can still offer a great ride even in the most extreme terrain (nothing's tougher than a GNCC). I have to say, I appreciate the way you commented. A lot of people feel they need to attack others on the Internet for some reason. I feel like you would have approached me in person with the same words, so thank you for that.

@@ATVScene you both made very good points. And you both handled it well. Crazy to see two grown men get along on social media nowadays. Like PhillyLS1 said I do my research bigtime before I purchase. I have two Yamaha 450R’s and an about grab a Can Am 850 or 1000 Outlander. Once I grab the can am I will take it and the stock 450 to BNR for some work (the other 450 is already built). Enjoy that Grizzly they are good quads

@@coryemerson9225 Thanks, and great choice with BNR. I get a lot of my inside info from pro-level racer friends off the record - BNR is legit for sure. Good luck in 2021!
