I couldn't agree more with you! I happened, just by chance, to buy a 2008 Grizzley 700 used for $4k. Normally I do a ton of research but it was such a good deal I made a quick purchase. We also have a 2007 Polaris Sportsman 800 X2 EFI and there is no comparison. The Griz is, in every way, a FAR superior quad! And I dare say it's the best used quad there is. I'm currently looking for another one so I can dump the Polaris. I'd rather have this older Yamaha than a new machine.
I APPRECIATE YOU CHRIS FOR YOUR COMMENT, YOU SOUND LIKE A MAN THAT KNOWS HIS ATVS,MAN YOU ARE SO RIGHT THERE IS NO NO NO COMPARISON THE YAMAHA IS THE TOP OF THE LINE, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE OLD ONES, AND YES I WILL TAKE OLD ONES OVER THE NEW, GOD BLESS,😀😀😀
I started with a 2004 Yamaha 450 for trash hauling on my land i decided to get a 2020 Polaris 450 and you are right I wish I never got rid of the Yamaha there is no comparison on the quality and sturdiness 😞
One of my friends have the same wheeler and he really likes it. Yes it is fast too. Nice ride Kenny.
tTHANK YOU SIR,
We agree! I'm refreshing my one-owner 2008 Grizz 700 which still runs like new but needs some TLC.
,i appreciate you my friend for sharing this with everyone,mine needs the same, but runs like its brand new, i would never sell it, god bless,
Great review on your 07 Grizzly 700!! I have the exact same machine, color and all. The Grizzly 700's are one of the best machines out there in my opinion. But one thing I noticed on your machine is that you're running in km/h instead of miles per hour. So really you only have about 6,264 miles on your machine. The top speed on mine stock was 68 mph, but in km/h, it's over 100. I just wanted to point that out in case you haven't realize that yet. It's quick and easy to switch back over to mph. Your owner's manual will tell you how to switch it over if you decide to. If you set your trip meter, it's nice to know just how many real miles you've traveled if thinking in miles. I hope this helps, and thanks for sharing your video!!
hey man, hows it going?thank you for your comment.i love the grizzly and i love your state.sometimes i wish i lived there. i have 2 more 4wheelers but both of them are down and need repair. they are both hondas, but honda is a great 4wheeler as well but the grizzly is my favorite, lookslike you and i have a few things in common, you have a BLESSED DAY, ypour doing great keep it up,
@@KennyReviews1 Thanks for your kind words Kenny! Yeah I love living here in Alaska, and I just can't see leaving this place. I moved up here from Nashville TN in 1990, and I just love it here. Yeah, yamaha and Hondas are my two favorite brands on most everything they make. As my job, I fix and repair 4 wheelers, motorcycles, snowmobiles, and pretty much anything with a small engine. I've always loved it, so that's what I do. I've also got some property out in the bush and I want to start building some structures, so I'm either going to build my own bandsaw saw mill, or just order a woodland mills saw mill. I usually try and build everything I can, but their prices are hard to beat for what you get. The prices of lumber and steel products have gone out the roof, so a mill makes more sense now than it ever has. Well you have yourself a blessed day Kenny!!
@@Alaska7506hello my friend MERRY CHRISTMAS, I WANTED to tell you that live in Kentucky, not that far from Nashville tenn, it sounds like you and i have a lot in common, i love to .make things and build things as well. ive got an old Honda 300 atv i wish i could get it to run still working on it i think it might be the motor probs have a blessed DAY,
How are u hitting 68? I got a power commander and a full exhaust and my bike only hits 58. I got oversized rims and tires but it shouldn't change it that much if anything it should be faster top end
@@j5183 so with oversized tires it’ll say you’re going 58 but you’re actually going more
Thanks Kenny🇺🇸👍🏻
YOUR VERY WELCOME,
I just purchased a pretty clean blue 2007 Yamaha Grizzly 700 just like yours! Super excited about it! Mine only has 1,800 miles and 215 hours. Would you recommend I drill and tube the gas cap since it hasn’t been done? No gas boiling issue right now but you never know when that issue could arise. Also how do I know if my CV axles need to be replaced? Just if they break? I’ve replaced a torn CV boot before on my 02 Grizzly 660 but never replaced a whole CV axle. Have enjoyed my 02 660 a lot but looking forward to some new adventures on my new 07 700! The fuel injection and power steering are quite a nice upgrade from the 660.
thank you my friend for sharing this with everyone, now about the gas cap,if its not getting hot i might not do it untill i needed to, but as you know it cound happen, now if those axles start cracking and popping, then i would replace them, otherwise some good lube will do the trick, my rear axles are going bad, ready to be replaced, if you replace them make sure you buy a really good quality pair the cheap one just won't last very long,, i hope this helps you my friend, enjoy your grizzly, god bless,
Good video and i agree Yamaha's are the best . One thing though, you said it will run almost 100mph.. I believe your gauge is reading in km. So that would be roughly 60 or so MPH. Have a great one and enjoy.
hey thanks doug for your comment, it was when i first got the grizzly my gauge was not in km, at that time it was about a month before it changed to km i remember when it happened, just never botherd to change it back, have a blessed day,
They will run about 115km/h
@@KennyReviews1 where did you run your tube from the gas cap and what size is the hoe you drill
He is the brightest bulb 💡 ✨️
My 2008 grizzly 700 stops at 65mph.
Yep, bought my 2008 700 efi eps new. I have her torn down in the garage right now for a full maintenance spa treatment. The first year after cracking the gas cap in high altitude the entire contents blew up into my face. Yamaha installed a vent for the fuel tank that is faulty. They will not acknowledge or admit to the problem. I took out the vent and installed a standard small line fuel filter where the vent was. I’ve also had to change the stator which shorted out. I love my red beast, it takes on anything!
HELLO ROBERT, ITS GREAT TO HEAR FROM A GRIZZLY OWNER, YOU REALLY SOUND LIKE A MAN THAT KNOWS WHAT HES DOING, I MEAN TAKE IT APART AND PUT IT BACK TOGATHER, AWESOME, I UNDERSTAND THAT PROB YOU WERE HAVING WITH THE GAS CAP, WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MINE IT GOT SO HOT I THOUGHT IT WOULD EXPLODE, BUT I DRILLED A TINY HOLE IT THE GAS CAP AND PUT A TUBE IN IT THAT DID IT PROBLEM SOLVED, I APPRECIATE YOU SHARING, GOD BLESS, P.S. I LOVE MINE AS WELL
THANKS! I KNOW ENOUGH TO GET ME IN TROUBLE SOMETIMES. UA-cam REALLY IS AN EXCELLENT RESOURCE TO LINE ME OUT WHEN I GET IN OVER MY HEAD.
YOUR WELCOME MY FRIEND, GOD BLESS,
Thx for posting good video👍im going to look at a 2008 grizzly 700 fi soon but it dosent have power steering, just wondering if theres a big difference..?? Also do you have to do maitenance on the clutch?
THANK YOU MY FRIEND FOR YOUR COMMENT, i thought most of the grizzlys had power steering,i guess i was wrong,if its not got it it will be harder to steer, not that bad depends on how strong one is,lol, ive never done any maitenance on my clutch, mine is not a stick, i cant see myself doing without my grizzly, its a keeeeper, a real work horse, god bless,
@@KennyReviews1 Thanks for replying 👍
I had to do some research. I didn't realize it was optional EPS in 08. I would personally look for an EPS Griz, it's so darn easy riding and driving.
i appreciate your comment, its hard to beat a grizzly, mine is an 07 and still going strong, never been touched except the axles, awesome, god bless,
@@KennyReviews1 my father has an 07 Grizzly that he uses just for working on his property. 6000 miles of plowing, brush hogging and pulling logs. Still goes great when I bring mine up to visit him. Never even had to change a belt.
People push Honda, but the Grizzly is just as reliable and has all the power you'd ever want for fun too.
Kenny Gorilla axles are the best on the planet never buy another axle again warranty is awesome I got 4 spare factor axle sitting on the shelf probably never get used again lol Kenny that fuel cap will help me out big time my fuel boils on the hot days to or pull them Polaris and can ams out of the bush lol 😂
hello, my friend how are ya? thanks for the tip, i trust my video was helpful i sure hope so. i remember when i first got my grizzly on the first hot day i went out my gas got really HOT. the ppl at the shop was not helpful. so i had to fix the prob on my own that little TUBE does the trick the gas never got hot again, thanks again for the axle tip, have a blessed DAY
How did you fix the fuel issue where did you bring that hose to?
thank you for your comment, thats a good ?? easy answer just make a hole in the cap run a little tube through the hole, down in the gas tank about an inch or two, then let the hose end run down beside your gas tank, very easy to fix, may i ask is yours getting hot? god bless,
Hey Kenny my 660 grizzly will not go over 30 backfire and sputters out it does have a after market chinese carburetor..what could be wrong?
thank you for your comment,thata a great ???? but, it sounds like it could be your CARBURETOR, also it could be some other things. a bad carburetor will kill your power, i hope this helps, have a blessed day,
@@KennyReviews1 thanks so much you have a new subscriber
@@sevensix9360 have you tried changing the spark plug?
I bought a 2008 back in 2008 and road it as hard as a utility quad has ever been ridden, short of ghosting it off a cliff, but still pretty close. They are a workhorse and virtually indestructible. I would never buy or own another quad. After I bent the steering column and frame rolling it down a hill backwards multiple times, I sold it for enough to pick up a 2009 Ducks Unlimited Grizz and still have that one to this day.
i appreciate you for your comment, wow, what a story i agree they are a real workhorse, i could not do without mine, i use it for everything, thanks so much for watching, god bless,👍
i have a 2014 700 and 66 mph was tops and unless your pulling a load high should have been plenty
thank you DANA for your comment, have a blessed day,
Cv axel is not problem bi tires are the issue you have to mantain the axel change boots and grease
THANK YOU MY FRIEND FOR YOUR COMMENT, YES I AGREE WITH YOU, BUT I BELIEVE CHEAP MADE AXELS ARE A WASTE OF MONEY, BECAUSE THEY JUST WON'T LAST VERY LONG, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING, GOD BLESS,😀
@@KennyReviews1 I only use Yamaha parts
thank you for your comment, thanks for watching, god bless,👍
Good review! How many miles and hours do you have on yours now? I’m considering buying a blue 2008 Grizzly 700 with 2,500 miles and 362 hours near me for $5,500
I WOULD BUY IT MINE NEEDS REAR AXELS BUT OTHER THAN THAT ITS IN GOOD SHAPE I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE MILES, I LOVE MINE, I WOULD NEVER SELL IT,
@@KennyReviews1 I’m probably going to go try and look at it next weekend if everything works out 👍 I currently have an 02 Grizzly 660 but want to upgrade to the Grizzly 700 since the 700 has some nice advantages over the 660 like the Fuel injection and power steering. Plus my 660 is getting up there in miles and hours and is in rougher shape. I think the previous owners drove it pretty hard. I bought it about 5 years ago as my first ATV and paid under $2,000 for it. Back at that time I was also considering Polaris but glad I got the Yamaha and will continue to stick with Yamaha in the future. I’m glad to hear yours is still running well for you! Hoping I’ll have a Grizzly 700 in the near future 🤞
@@AMF96 thank you sir for sharing this information with everyone,I appreciate it very much,👍👍👍
@@AMF96I have a 2010 with around 9,000 miles on it and like 565 hours still runs great. You won't be disappointed!!
No way it needed 4wd to go up that hill. Things an absolute beast
thank you for your comment, i agree its a beast, love it,😀
Yamaha #1. Clean that baby now an then bud. SHINE HER UP. It's a great quad for sure. Run that high quality full synthetic 10w40 Yamalube! Not the cheap stuff. Ride!
thank you for your comment, #1 thats why i bought it, when it comes to the right oil i would not use anything else, never use the cheap stuff, god bless,
We have but it's in BAD condition but we're gonna fix it
is it a grizzly? whats wrong with it? how can i help?
You absolutely never reached 100mph on that quad. Whether it was new or old lol. You could modify that thing as much as you want and it would never go 100mph. The can am 1000’s go about 80-85. These grizzly’s do about 60-65mph. You had the speedo km/h.
THANK YOU NATHAN FOR SHARING I APPRECIATE IT, I JUST REGRET I DID NOT HAVE A GO PRO ON TOP OF MY HEAD, I HAVE TO ADMIT AT FIRST I DIDNT BELIEVE IT WOULD GO THAT FAST, BUT I WAS WRONG, I GUESS SOMESTIMES YOU HAVE TO SEE IT WITH YOUR OWN EYES OR YOU WONT BELIEVE IT, THANKS AGAIN, GOD BLESS,
lol can’t see that driving that fast unless you have a chip in it
hello LAWRENCE, i understand that most ppl don't believe me, but back in the day the grizzly was fast,yes its true, this 4wheller is still running needs some rear axeles,its still got the power, thanks for watching, god bless,😄
Lmmfao 😂😅🤣😅😂🥲😅🤣🤣 deff had it on 100 km not mph!!!!!!! Lolololol
thank you for your comment, the grizzly was new when i made that run, and it was in mph at that time not km, have a blessed day,
@@KennyReviews1 I have a 700 grizzly , mine runs about 67 mph I only weigh 150 lbs . Is urs still running that fast
@Red dawn G43x hey red dawn how are ya? well to answer your ??😀 i dont want to go there again. i almost lost it the first TIME, ouch ouch ouch, this atv is super strong, thanks for your comments, have a blessed day,
100mph isn't possible. Put your ego away old Man. 65mph tops garunteed. Love your enthusiasm though? God be with you. Peace
