I love my 22’ Kodiak 700 EPS SE, Yamaha makes some the best most reliable machines on the market IMO. I had my machine clear wrapped on the sides of saddle where my legs hit and then on the front fenders where branches rub, that will protect the paint and keep it looking sharp for years to come.
Just picked up a 24 grizzly 700se. I have had a Yamaha since 03 and never changed a belt on at least 5 bikes. But I unfortunately did buy a 17 708 and it left a bad taste in my mouth with all the engine troubles and 4x4 button issues I’m really surprised I went back to Yamaha. I did go to get a rubicon but when I seen the tires and mini dash also there still using leaver hand brake and the way it shifts in auto was the reason I stayed with Yamaha. Honda also went with racks that required special accessories as they use lock mechanisms instead of the regular racks on Yamaha. 100 Kms on her so far and I hope the god I don’t have to go through what I did with my 2017🙏
i have the same quad, this is my second grizzly and by far the best, your right about the break-in when i hit 30 hours it really opened up and the shocks got a lil softer too, love the EPS
The square wheel setup was a concern of mine but I absolutely love it and how it looks with the same size tires all around!!! I got a winch bumper,back seat,heat demons,boss Bluetooth speaker, hand guards with mirrors built in. Next is 2r racing tip, steel winch cable upgrade to rope, aluminum skid plates,and I’m doing some research on clutch kit and programer!! She is already really hard on fuel so I’m not sure if I wanna get into more hp yet!! Front and back bumpers are a definite in the near future as well. Great video thanks for the review. Safe travels!! Cheers 🍻
I’ve got 3600km on my 2022 now and imo your review is spot on. My only issue so far was a weeping front diff seal that was replaced under warranty. Having owned both a Polaris sportsman and a can am outlander, I think Yamaha Grizzly is the best all around for reliability.
Yeah after coming off from the big power of the Polaris i bought a 21 grizz. A year later i doubled down on a second '22 grizz SE. Not as powerful as the big cc quads like Polaris and Can Am but literally everywhere else its superior. And thats the formula i prefer now. Agility, suspension, comfort, reliability. Just a really good blend
Reminds me of the brute force 650, a lot more quad than advertised. Outrun a 800 Polaris with much lower CC. Love my 2022 700 raptor, and even if you mess up down low it just grunts and pulls through at such low rpms a smaller quad would just stall.
Best analogy ever…it’s a high powered Honda. We love the Grizz at Dirt Obsexxion!!!!
i have a 1999 Grizzly 600. That thing is still a beast. Runs great. Has reverse, 4x4, and an automatic. Love my old Grizz !!!
