Thanks Xtreme grizz, are there any quirk things that i should know about my new grizz? what not to do etc? i plan on going over the bike real good before the first ride and definatly after as well, is there anything that i should be checking more than something else? I was wondering about some extended warranty as well? Did you get any? Should i bother? Thanks....Irv

Well as far as the extended warranty goes I did not get it. Im not a real big fan of extended warrenties. I thought about it but the Grizz has been out for a few years now and most of all the bugs are worked out of it in my opinion.

When I picked up our Grizzlys I did a quick once over of both machines real quick, lodded up and took off for home. The dealer I bought from was about 75 miles north of me. When I got them home is when I did a real good check to just make sure everything was right. One thing I did notice on mine (blue) is that my gas tank cover had some scratches on it. Called him up and he said that I can either bring it up or take it off my self and mail it to them. I decided to remove it myself and mail it. They paid the charges and got me a new one. Other than that I just checked the oil once on both before we took off on our first ride. I take a look about every other ride now just to be on the safe side, and about the same with the filter. Just recently installed the ProFlow Flange with K&N filter

Did not get much riding time in last year but we never really had any problems with them. Defently more riding planed for this year

The Grizz has turned out to be such a reliable machine that if you're at all mechanically-inclined and willing to work on it yourself, there's no need for an ext warranty. I think they're a joke... plus most dealers are incompetent anyway.

I've had my Grizzly apart several times, all the way into the transmission, and it's pretty straightforward. I will probably be tearing the top end apart next year to do a mild 686 kit since mine is burning a lot of oil, and I don't believe in leaving anything stock once you take it apart.
