I havent actually done that myself but I cant imaging it would be more than a few hundred.

 

alrighty, thank u for all the info. i think i might be better off rebuilding it anyway cuz whoever had it b4 me couldnt of taken care of it..it didnt look like the oil had ever been changed, or the gear oil, or filter, lol...any my dad works on cars and said that if u run old oil that long, then finally change it, alot of times it causes problems. so i dunno wut to do

 

alrighty..thanks again for all the info...i hope i can get it figured out..i wanna do some winter ridin!!

 

I have a 2000 Grizzly that also ran hot and vapor locked all of the time. My fan did work. I found a guy at my local dealer who actually knew something about the Grizzly,s who convinced me to reduce the size of the carb jet one size. It seems that these bikes run a bit rich with the stock jets. I also removed the 2 side covers and now the bike runs great. I can run up to about 50 mph and no more vapor locking. I would like to know what other guys are getting for top speeds from their 600 Grizzlys.

 

When I had stock tires on I could get her up to about 57. Now that I have the Mudlight XL she maxes out about 50 on the road. That aggressive tread pattern really slowed her down but does wonderful things for me in the mud [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

wut kind of tires do u recommend for the grizzly?...i want something good in the mud/snow...but not something thats gonna wear down really fast cuz sometimes i have to ride on the road to get to where i'm goin to ride...

 

I love my Mudlite XL. I went with 27x12x12 on the rear and 27x9x12 on the front. They are great in the mud and you actually reverse the tires put the left on the right and the right on the left and they are awesome in the snow. Cost me about 475$ for tires and installation but it was well worth it.

 

Greg,

Increasing the tire diameter is causing your speedometer to read low. I thing the stock diameter is 26" so going to 27" means your real speed is spedo times 1.04. So, 50 is really about 52.

Stock tire size was 25x8x12 and 25x10x12

 

ya i was actually lookin at a set of ITP mudlite wheel and tire package for $510..i think i'll go with that..cuz it comes with nice SS wheels too!
