6:55 Funny you should mention the assembly. I just discovered last week that my wires and light pod was run the same way as you describe. And I had owned the machine for over a year. I discovered this while browsing through the service manual. My dealer just slapped it together what ever way he wanted. It's all good now. Not sure if you know but in the light pod frame there are two small holes for zip ties to attached the cables to. As well, the dealer didn't put the light pod case on properly. Oh well..I guess time is money.
So glad I found this video. I bought some of the same tires for my Can Am 570 and thought they might be too big. Yours look and fit great! Getting them mounted tomorrow. I did go SunF instead (11's rear) but are exact for half the money. $394+tax/ free shipping. I dont know how much you paid per tire back then, but they're $220 each now.
@@urbanacres7189 may I ask you how those tires perform, how they feel at the trail ? are they smooth on roads? I found a set in Amazon for 580 plus tax
In your opinion should I go 2023 kodiak 700 eps se or 2023 Grizzly eps se? Kodiak comes with 25” 2 ply tires which I might upgrade to either bear claw htr or bighorns and Grizzly comes with 27” maxis Zillas. I do average trail riding, plowing, and haul firewood around property. Do you find a big difference in comfort of suspension and power between the two? I have a kodiak 450 esp se now and need more ground clearance. Love your videos, thanks for any input.
I would go with Grizzly. In the long run it will be more versatile machine. It will be more fun doing fun rides on Grizzly. If the cost is not an issue go with Grizz
I know Im asking randomly but does someone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost my password. I love any help you can offer me.
@Ismael Alijah i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Yea its normal for mine I just got mine today and it does the exact same thing when I give off a burst then slow down. I believe its normal for the 700s to do that like you said.
Yes it is normal I don't worry about it. It is much lower in 686 motors vs 708 motors. My 2020 Grizzly also does it. It is barely noticeable to me. Some people don't like it, I actually like it. It is not very often though. Again people claim AIS delete will eliminate it. I did AIS delete on 2020 Grizzly it did not eliminate for me. I have uploaded the video of AIS delete and EHS tuner install.
Im in to a 700se but 6mounts delivery thime .there is a standard green in the shop would i be happy whit it.i have a 17 700se now.how mutch for the bigger wheels?
@@urbanacres7189 its the powersteering model whit difflock.i think it looks so wrong whit original 25" wheels.but is it worth the extra thime and money to get the se model.i could put bigger tiers on the green instead and get it right away from the shop.ps this one has black steel rims
Mine came with black alloy rims 12”. I put Bighorn OGs on stock rims. I would definitely get the model that comes with allow rims. May be used the factory tires for 12 months if you did like.
@@urbanacres7189 its so hard to get a new atv here.only the green in the shop steel rims.powersteering and difflock .its 800€ cheaper than the se model and no whaiting thime
Which country? Here in USA it is not any easy either. There is just no supply. When I ordered oem rims for my Grizz I waited 6 months to just get the rims. It is a different world we live in now.
Very nice quad! I love the green color. I’m looking into getting the same one from a nearby dealer. How’d you get such a great deal if you don’t mind me asking. Thanks!
I love my Bighorns. They do amazing for the kind of riding I do. They are awesome on the street as well. Zillas are not great on the street. They are decent tires when trail riding. They benefit from Grizzly’s nice ride and geometry. Only reason I have not changed Grizzly tires to Bighorn is the XTR came with square setup and I want to keep it that way. I keep thinking I want to go to bighorn 28/10/14 square setup but I am unable to find any pics of this set up on Grizzly so kind of worried them being too big
@@urbanacres7189 thanks for the response my friend. I do trail and mud. Very little road. Im afraid the bighorns will not be deep enough for me. I am attracted to them because of all the great reviews on them
Yes don't believe everything you read about it needing a bigger engine. 700 is more than powerful. Not everyone is racing their quads. It has plenty of power for what is made for and what a family would use it for. It is very comfortable and like @Bill Wilson mentioned great style for the money. We got an amazing deal on it thus even better value. Did not pay anywhere close to MSRP. Only thing I wish it had was dual rate springs like the Grizzly that would make it more comfortable ride. But the power steering, the lockers etc is amazing value.
I’ve used the Grizzly 700 to plow snow, and drag trees. I literally cleared my ATV trails with it. Big brush guard, and skid plates, and the thing is a little bulldozer. It never faltered for me. It’s still a hoot to ride on the trails too.
Wow! What a helpful little video, and an aggressive looking little Kodiak too! Thanks for sharing. I've got a new 2021 Kodiak 700 EPS myself, and I'd like to go with these same 26" Bighorns, but it's not quite clear to me whether I'd need a lift kit to do so? Could you possibly clarify that? Did you need a lift kit for yours? Many thanks.
Are you able to ride this 700 in shorts during the summer months? I heard Kodis run very hot and burn your left leg or your passenger's...Any thoughts? I want to be able to take my daughter with me on short rides.
I am but passengers legs dangle right on the plastic and it gets very hot especially during summer. Younger passengers whose feet don’t reach the floor board have no choice but let their legs dangle on hot plastic. I don’t recommend if the machine is hot.
It’s funny your video was exactly 8 minutes and 50 seconds maybe you should’ve bought an 850 . I did . And this little goat loves to climb it’ll show you sides of your abilities you never knew you had . I did the same thing went looking at Yamaha‘s but when they close the dealership by me it was like they were telling me they have no faith in me . Maybe you should throw your leg over an Outty . I sit higher I have a better view of the layout ahead of me and when I need to punch it . ... Were gone ! 👋
sitting higher on an atv is exact opposite of ideal...lower center of gravity is far better.trust me, his 700 yamahas are just as capabile as your 850 and way more reliable

@@urbanacres7189 Yeah, I've looked into this a bit further, and inspected my own Kodiak in detail, but it's clear that no shock adjustments are ever going to be necessary for these 26" Bighorn tires, at least not on my particular Kodiak. There's more than 8.5" of clearance on mine, with the 26" tires, between the top of the tire and the inside fender well. The spring coils on the two rear shocks are only 9" tall, so there's no way that adjustment of the shocks would ever be necessary. They would have bottomed-out beforehand. But thanks anyway.

That's a great looking quad! Awesome color!
Dude I have the kodiak 2019 se with 27” itp Mud lite XTR and rival skid plates with 4 kodiak 450 clutch weights and now I rock this world
I call em stick stoppers 😂 I think the kodiak looks good with those tires 👍🏻
I still rock the bighorn 2.0 on my Polaris General and Grizzly 700. Great all around tire!!!
Fine choice, excellent machine
I bought the same machine, I gonna picked up in the next couple weeks, I like those tires, they look nice with white letters...
Congratulations

Great looking tyres. Does it need any other modification to put them on? (clutch kit, etc.) Thanks in advance.
Nope it does not need anything at all. It makes the atv way more stable compared to the oem tires it came with. Looks great as well
@@urbanacres7189 Ok, thank you for your reply.
@@urbanacres7189 Just one more qstn. There was enough room around for both the front/back tyres? No spacers needed?
Do you have a small backfire when you let off the gas? Mine has been doing that but I read everywhere that it's normal for the 700s
Yea its normal for mine I just got mine today and it does the exact same thing when I give off a burst then slow down. I believe its normal for the 700s to do that like you said.

Just tires

They make more than just the 12 wide. I have 11 wide but there at 10 too
Not in O.G. and 26”
They do have 26/11/12 in Bighorn 2.0
I’m going to most likely buy a Grizzly and live in College Station... If you don’t mind me asking, what dealership did you buy from?
Which do you prefer to ride??
Grizzly!! only wish it did not have the stock Maxxis Zilla I prefer the tires like Maxxis Bighorn.
@@urbanacres7189 where did you purchase this atv? They gave you a great deal in my opinion!
Did you have to put spacers on the tires
No spacers. And absolutely no issues. Factory/OEM wheels
as for room, a 700 Kodiak will fit a 30" on oem rims, but you will want some cvt mods for 27 or bigger
Are you able to ride this 700 in shorts during the summer months? I heard Kodis run very hot and burn your left leg or your passenger's...Any thoughts? I want to be able to take my daughter with me on short rides.

$7500 msrp or $7500 after all the taxes/fees ?
$7500 before taxes etc. Taxes will depend on many different situations if you have any exceptions or buying out of state etc.

No lift no adjustments. Depending on your weight and riding style you can adjust the rear shocks stiffness but you would do that anyway
@@urbanacres7189 Thank you! Much appreciated. 👍
Are the factory shocks truly adjustable on your Kodiak? I'm seeing multiple references on-line that say the Kodiak shocks are un-adjustable?
