Thanks Reg, hopefully they will give someone an idea who wants to tackle some maintenance..that's the trouble, when you ride eventually you have to take some time to do these things LOL Thanks for stopping by!
From the states here, Connecticut to be exact, and just picked upmthe new Kodiak 700 base. Love it! Of course that means ging onto TH-cam and checking out vids! Dame across your channel, and love it. Been trying to catch up a bit, as you have many videos. Would love to be able to do as much discovering as you and the mrs. do, but it is more frowned upon here. Just bought a house with some good acres, so hope to get more riding in. Anyway, great videos, keep it up bud! The maintenance ones are good, as I will likely use them as needed.

Hey STeve! Congratulations on your new Kodiak 700 and thanks for checking out our channel! Where we live about 95% of the land is public so we have never ending area to explore...WOOHOO! Hope you can get out riding and thanks very much for watching and commenting...and of course Subscribing!
Hi Cubbeezx love your vids I have watched them them all ,would just like to say that if i am having a bad backyard mechanic day your how to vids are the best to help relax me. They let me know that getting upset isn't worth the trouble I wish I could be as relaxed as you all the time, I am not saying that I am over emotional but some days things just don't go according to plan.I would also like to suggest that you save those front pads for future use, they are still good considering you use up the front pads quicker, when the new ones wear out put those on and they should last until the rear ones are ready to be changed.
Glad you find the videos helpful and relaxing. I too have some "rough" days where things just don't go right...with the power of editing I can cut those parts out...the "out take reel" would not be family friendly LOL Good idea on those front pads...they had lots of wear left on them so I'm sure we can use them again. Thanks very much for watching and commenting, we really appreciate it!
Hello and great video! So after watching your video, i was able to change the break pads with out any issue. That said after trying the breaks, I discovered that the breaks works and stopped, BUT the lever is spongy. After further inspection, i didn't find any leaks in the fluid system, and the fluid is full and looks good, So I am guessing that maybe I have a bad caliper. The breaks do pressure up after a bit of pumping, but still spongy. Any advice?
I need to mention that I didn't remove the break fluid reservoir cap when I did the break pad job. I left the liquid system system closed, might this be the reason that after I replace my break pads that the lever is still spongey?
Sounds like you have air in the line. You know, we didn't notice it right away but after we changed our brake pads they felt a bit spongy too. We bled the brakes again and it got better but still not as good as before. Try bleeding the line again..might get just enough air out to make it feel a lot better.
Hay hi there yes, I have tracks on my ATV, and what I have discovered is that the break fluid can get over heated down buy the caliper and possibly foam up from being over worked and over heated ( causing gas bubbles) So my solution was to replace the the fluid totally and bleed them. Now that are much better. Thank you so very much for getting back to me too....solid work ((-:.
You failed to mention to remove the cap of the fluid reservoir and wrap a cloth around it, the fluid pushed back up when the pistons are pushed in has to go somewhere, but not on your paintwork.
We had just over 7000 km's on the Grizzly...the fronts had been changed once already and like the video showed didn't really need changing..the backs on the other hand!
I love the fact that he is talking about torqueing the bolts back on but is using an wobble extension to torque these bolts. totally wrong. never use an extension when torqueing bolts/nuts down. the extension will twist and give inaccurate torque specs.but the video is good for anyone that needs help doing a brake job on one of these quads.
I like these 'back yard mechanic' service videos, with the all important TORQUE specifications for those bolts.
Good stuff !
Thanks Reg, hopefully they will give someone an idea who wants to tackle some maintenance..that's the trouble, when you ride eventually you have to take some time to do these things LOL Thanks for stopping by!
good job cubbee
Thanks very much!
Nice video
Thanks!
Nice Job. This will help many not with just the Grizz but other makes and models. As they all share the same design majority of the time.

would you say a Kawasaki prairie 650 is a good four wheeler?
Have never owned a Kawasaki, but haven't heard anything bad about them..
its mee again still here
Happy to hear!
+cubbeezx im on every video but dont comment on them. you guys still have awsome videos
Thanks very much for watching and nice you commented too!
You failed to mention to remove the cap of the fluid reservoir and wrap a cloth around it, the fluid pushed back up when the pistons are pushed in has to go somewhere, but not on your paintwork.
Yes, you are right, and once it did leak out a little bit.
How long have you owned it?
We bought it new in 2011
+cubbeezx thanks. Gives me an idea when to replace my brakes ;)
We had just over 7000 km's on the Grizzly...the fronts had been changed once already and like the video showed didn't really need changing..the backs on the other hand!
+cubbeezx my Hondas braking is horrible and we have only had it for 2 years.
Whats gonna happen to the kodiak now??
We are going to keep it as a spare
Were you wearing your helmet while filming this video. Sorry I got to ask.
LOL As a matter of fact I was....safety first HAHAHAHAHAHA!
You said "Brake Shoe" when you really are talking about a "Turboencabulator".
I don't know if you noticed.
LOL I did...I think I was also talking about a "wind Turboencabulator" HAHAHAHAHAHA!
is your speedometer mph ot km/h
The Yamaha Grizzly is in km's and the Can Am is in miles per hour
+cubbeezx ok thanks that it was going really really quick
Nice video keep up the good work :)
Thanks very much!
Anyone else not even own a Yamaha, but still watched the whole thing anyways?
ikr!
LOL Thanks very much for watching!
Well I guess we have a Yamaha breeze but that doesn't count. Lol no problem cubbee:)
Tennis shoes are not approved by OSHA standards! lol
LOL I know...thankfully nothing heavy fell on my toes!
