Ultimate 4x4, part 3
In this third episode of My Ultimate 4x4 I upgrade the handlebars and controls on my 2020 Yamaha Grizzly with a set of Low Bend Flexx Handlebars, a 5" riser kit from Rox Speed FX and install Yamaha's Adventure Pro GPS unit to the lid of my glove compartment. Then it's off to the Hatfield McCoy Trail System for the first of many miles of ride-testing the much-improved upgrade. How bad are the stock Grizzly handlebars?? They're garbage, and when compared to this ultimate set-up!
This is part 3 of my new “Ultimate 4x4” video series. From cross country racing, GNCC competition, work-duties in the yard, trail-riding with buddies to a 4000 mile coast-to-coast trip on the Trans American Trail - I'm doing it all with my 2020 Yamaha Grizzly!

OK, Brother, you just blew my mind! That Yamaha computer thingy is spectacular!!! LOL Those Flex bars look like such an amazing upgrade for long harsh rides and I'm so curious about your TAT adventure! Years ago, my brother and I planned an ATV trip from Homer to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, but just couldn't swing the logistics of that massive of an adventure. Awesome video, my friend! Cheers from the middle of nowhere Alaska!

@JB-57 3 года назад

Hey bro love the channel. I think the mountain bike grips would be an awesome idea. I would like to know how they worked out if you actually ended up using them. Looking for more vids and updates. Keep up the good work bud 👍

@ATVScene 3 года назад

Crazy but I'm thinking of putting a twist throttle on, along with the Ergon grips.

@JB-57 3 года назад

@@ATVScene I can see that being effective for racing. The thumb throttle is a bit awkward in tight right turns. Sometimes I actually grab it from underneath with my middle finger when I'm making a hard fast right but I'm only racing my kids lol. Anyways, love the build so far 👍

@TGossage 2 года назад

You should make RU-vid shorts in-between your long video series and/or upload more often. The shorts won't get you many watch hours but if they are relatively theatric and well made then they can go viral kinda easy (especially if you put widely searched phrases in your video description) anyway great video and editing. Hope you post more!

@ryanfunk1180 Год назад

Did you have any issue with the rear master cylinder and the flex bushing, the foot brake cable is in the way to mount it normally, I see yours is turned down at a good angle. Just wonder if there is a better solution. Also rubs the hand guard mounts.

@ATVScene Год назад

Yes the cable assembly is right in the way. I tried a few things, and had it all working somewhat ok, but besides this problem I just didn't have any confidence in good braking out of the foot pedal.. I ended up just disconnecting the foot brake altogether. Yamaha went cheap here. The foot brake should have had its own reservoir.

@jordanerb383 3 года назад

Are you going to do the EHS cam shaft too? (12 more wheel horsepower I believe)

@ryanfunk1180 2 года назад

Have you Noticed more fuel consumption since adding the tuner vs. stock? I Just got back from another trip to hatfield McCoy trails and from this trip to the last I had to fuel up a lot More. Not sure if you were seeing the same results

@ATVScene 2 года назад

I think mine is a little thirstier than it was stock, yes.

@russvance6616 3 года назад

I really like your videos...I have recently purchased a 2021 kodiak700. I am considering a pair of the flexx bars, but how did you decide on the bend and riser combination, Im sure our atvs are quite similar....any input would be appreciated....its good to see a fellow buckeye....thanks

@ATVScene 3 года назад

I should have probably spent more time on this. It's a great question. I sort of go by what I have felt most comfortable on over the years. The stock Suzuki LTR 450 comes to mind. I know I love that bend and height, (it's the 15 degree CR low bend). Fasst Co put a lot of time and effort into this page: www.fasstco.com/pages/flexx-atv-handlebar-bends Go there to look up the different stock OEM bends to get a baseline of what you know you already like. I'm 5'-10” and have always like the CR low bend. For our Grizzly/ Kodiak you have to get the low bend, so that part is done for you. The finish product on what I did in this video is perfect for me, and probably most will go with my same selection (the CR bend is very popular). You will love this upgrade. It's without a doubt one of the best mods you can make to your Grizzly / Kodiak... SO much better than the wimpy lackluster stock bar set up.

@russvance6616 3 года назад

@@ATVScene thanks for the reply....I appreciate it. I can definitely see the worth of these bars. Im curious, did EHS racing do any work to your clutch?

@ATVScene 3 года назад

@@russvance6616 No, you can maybe get a little more out of it with some clutch mods but not worth it in my opinion (and Eric's too).

@ryanfunk1180 3 года назад

What size rox risers are thoes? Are they the 5in. And I noticed on the flex bar website the recommend the 19degree how would that translate to the set up that you have.

@ATVScene 3 года назад

5 inch Rox riser kit and Flexx's low bend bars at either a 15 or 14 degree angle will give you your best results. Mine are 15, Im 5'-10", 175lbs.

@bill_b8440 Год назад

Hi there, sorry if I missed it but I didn’t see if you are running a tether kill switch? The rules In ACR state you have to have one but I can’t seem to find any recommendations for one on a grizzly lol. Thanks

@ATVScene Год назад

I didn't want to cut into the OEM wiring so I didn't hook it up. I've seen too many kill cord glitches over the years, (one more thing to possibly go wrong). If you end up putting one on and you find a proven quality solution please write back.

@bill_b8440 Год назад

@@ATVScene that’s the same boat I’m in with not really wanting to touch the oem harness at all… these aren’t exactly a sport quad in terms of wiring lol. I’ll keep my eye out. Thank you for the reply!

I just noticed you haven't posted a video on this bike in over a year. What happened? Did the Grizz take a crap in the woods?

@russvance6616 2 года назад

Did you attach a tether switch for racing, if so, where did you put it on the bars? I am putting the same setup on mine this weekend and I will need to put on a tether switch for xc races. Thanks.

@ATVScene 2 года назад

No, to tell the truth that's just the cord, it's not hooked up to anything. I didn't want to mess with the electrical and risk messing something up, especially on an ATV I dont plan to race that much.

@russvance6616 2 года назад

@ATVScene 2 года назад

I decided to wait a bit. I have a hunch Biden's America is going to self implode. I need an RV of some sort, maybe I can nab one for pennies on the dollar after the crash. I want my mom to be a part of it (in the chase rv), we need a good deal and it's been a horrible time to buy anything this year.

@brokefarmerjohn2422 2 года назад

@@ATVScene one thing I learned is, there’s rarely ever a perfect time to do something. I have very strong feelings towards our President also but on the other hand how long should I put my life on hold because things aren’t as good as they were? If I was you, I wouldn’t hesitate, I’d buy me a motorcycle trailer to pull behind the grizzly, pack it full of gear (tent, sleeping bag, hammock or whatever), and head out. The hell with what’s going on in the world. These high gas prices aren’t slowing SxS and ATV sales down, the off road world is still going strong, your quad is built already. Do it for the passion of riding, if you film it and make a few bucks then that’s a bonus.

Thanks for writing. I'm racing my ebike today at the Mountaineer GNCC. I am close to getting part 4 done, all about tires and wheels, and part 5 is suspension.

@brokefarmerjohn2422 2 года назад

I copied you a bit but my budget isn’t as big lol. I have same bars and hand guards but all black, even my hand guard rail is powder coated black with silver hardware. I went with ITP hurricane wheels, 25x10-12 swamp witch radials on all 4 corners. I would have LOVED to copy you on wheels and tires but I couldn’t justify it. I don’t race, just trail ride. I’d be super curious how much different mine would handle being 10-12 on all corners instead of skinner wheels and tires like you did. Maybe I made a mistake idk. I trail ride, in the mud, nothing much above the tires, and I hill climb. I figured the extra width and surface area would be best for climbing hills, not to mention more ballast down low with heavier rubber.

@ATVScene 2 года назад

The main thing is you purchased the right 4x4 :)

@duanesnow424 3 года назад

Hey, Great video and love the grizz...what tires do you have on and what size? Any regrets? Did you modify the clutch at all for the new tire size?? Thanks

@ATVScene 3 года назад

I will talk all about my tire and wheel set up in the next episode. I went with 25x8x12 Kenda Bearclaw HTR tires on all corners bolted to 12x6 Keizer beadlocks with custom offsets to match the exact OEM width, the fronts are 12x6 with 5+1 offsets, and the rears are 12x6 with 4+2 offsets.

@ATVScene 3 года назад

With this my tire and wheel package is only slightly heavier than stock but WAY better, and I left my clutch alone on recommendation from Eric at EHS (we talked about this in part 2 of this video series).
