Yes I know this is a Kodiak forum, but let's be honest Grizzlys and Kodiaks share 90% + of their genetics.

Currently my much beloved 09 550 Grizz has 13 500 kms 610 hrs and still runs as good as new. How do I know it runs as good as new? Cause I've been jumping back and forth between it and my new baby. 2019 Grizzly 700 SE /LE with 1200 kms and 60 hrs

Vincent, thanks for the info, everything you add to the forum is always interesting and insightful. I have a 91 Honda Fourtrax 300, that I use about 4 times a year and it also never lets me down.

Nice....so I know the 550 has cvt mods , so how do they compare to each other ?

 

[KodiakAfishyo]

Nice, I see you put the 14" wheels on the 550, selling it that way?

 

[Vincent]

Switched my machined sheave from the 550 to the 700.

Stock ratio was 2.45:1
I'm @ 3:1 now with a 0.5mm shim.

Holly Crap these new 686s RIP!!!!

On pavement in High, the front wheels come right off the ground with No effort other then throttle !

No belt rub at 3.1:1?

No belt rub at 3.1:1?

I'm sure there will be!!!

Lol
No they will be sold separately. It was just more convinent at the time to take off a tire and replace a tire kinda thing....

Nice machine. Might trade mine in on a new machine this fall. Then again, I might just keep it and pick up a 450 for the wife. Undecided. Had big plans for this year but covid kind of threw a wrench into those plans.

Why trade in your machine?

 

[Jssrvlz]

Nice machine Vincent. I know you will end up putting that thing through some crazy stuff

 

[Nomad]

Why trade in your machine?

To get away from the 708 for one thing. To get one with diff lock is the other. All hinges on what they'll give me on trade.

 

[Vincent]

Got ya. Yes I avoided the 708s to. Hence why I baught a used 2019, because you know..... And yes diff lock is awesome...
