I've owned an 07 and 09, put 8500 miles on both with nothing but oil changes never looked at the belts, just very reliable machines. Just bought another 09 with 5k on it, haven't had one for ten years, looking forward to some time on one again. Would have bought new, but they are just not out there now.
Not much to worry about if its been taken care of,wheel bearings and brake pads are the most common issues but they are wear items so its normal ,belts last forever,just gas and go
Did you really put thirty seven hundred hours on your Grizzly?? If so, that is truly incredible!! Im assuming that was just a typo, but still had to ask lol
Great content on your channel! Thank you. Looking at a 2012 700 tomorrow? Looks super clean, low miles/ hrs. What should I beware of or look for? I haven’t owned one since 04. Thanks
Thank you! i still have the old girl & running good. Honestly mine has had no issues. A few things to check, jack it up & wiggle wheels to make sure bearings are good. Make sure 4x4 engages & disengages properly. Check front & rear brakes on test ride. Make sure when using the shifter, everything engages properly. Look underneath make sure no oil dripping. Sounds like a nice machine!
With that kind of mileage,your good for another 20 years,lol,traded my 07 for a new 2017 3 years ago ,it had 20 000 miles on it ,i replaced the belt only once,this year i traded my wife's grizz550 for a 2020 700 le,it has 13 000 miles on it,both machines were bulletproof,cost of ownership on those are very low,plus i got decent money on both when i sold them,best quad on the market
Patrick Lavictoire that’s incredible, you can’t beat their reliability. This 1 will get passed on to my son next year, then I’ll upgrade. Thanks for watching.
James Burnside they are great,had mine since 2017,its a more stable atv i find,they are a bit wider,i have the 708 in mine,i'm up to 6500 miles now with no hicups,the 2020 is my wife's,back to the 686 yam engine,its a smoother engine,runs smooth,is a tad harder on fuel at the moment but its only got 300 miles on it,only thing i liked better on the older ones was the turning radius,the new ones need more space to turn,besides that they are what you would expect from yamaha,reliable,,
I am possibly looking at a 2010 YAMAHA GRIZZLY 700 FI AUTO. 4X4 EPS With 6110 miles for about $5000 for mostly trail riding for my fiance to come out with me on my dirt bike and yes I will ride it also. Just looking for some feedback on how it rides off road trails and thoughts on age, mileage, price and life expectancy with upcoming repairs. I see you put 20,000 miles on yours. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks
Wow... Under 2k miles? It's barely broke in! 🤣 Love my 2008 and it's 1000% better than my 2007 Polaris Sportsman 800 X2 EFI. I'd love to find a used one to trade out for my Polaris!
Great looking bike thanks for sharing. I sold my 2017 Grizz as had too many issues with those 708 motors and other electronic issues as well. I bought a 2011 instead cause i think the older ones are more reliable, hope im right.. i like that hitch receiver you put on there, do you remember were you got it?
Never heard anything good about the 708. The receiver is a MOOSE brand from mooseutilities.com. I think you can buy direct, if not try eBay or denniskirk.com
They are as smooth as a D606/Trak master on the road. Only had a short ride off road so far, they seem to hook up well, didn't get into any hardcore mud yet. Thanks for letting me know about comments disabled!
@@kcoutside7143 much appreciated! Look forward to your updated review. I am ordering a set and going to learn to change them myself. Gotta be better than my stock wrr death wings!
@@kcoutside7143 no problem, sub'd with notification on so I see your update! Still building up my first upgrade set including gear change, Power Commander V and the new tires so I haven't purchased anything yet but I'm just about ready
You have barely used it ! ..I've done 15,000km in a single summer ..on rocky mountains ,no easy roads ..all hard climbs ..most of my quads have 30,000 km on them before I trade them off
they are Acerbis Uniko, the original blue plastic shields broke, so I put tusk shields on the Uniko steel frame. The uniko guards are very simple to install in end of handle bar.
Not sure of actual lbs., but I use it to pull my dual axle 18ft. Steel flat bed around my property, up & down slight grades. I pull in 4wd. Low. It does awesome. Suspension will squat though, due to heavy tongue weight.
