I ran my old Mountain Max like that for what I can only assume was years before I noticed it. The drive shaft had started to cut through the tunnel already.
I hit a tree on the trail down from Lucille the other day and twisted mine (springs are almost touching the a-arms). Is it worth trying to straighten and re-enforce? Will a new one from an '09 or newer fit? Also bent the 2 left A-arms, but I think I'm going to upgrade to t-sled.
I swamped my grizzly over the weekend as well. I got 4 oil changes so far and its still foamy. Engine code 15 came up after letting it idle. Not sure what that is yet.
Smoked a rock with a nytro mtx. Twisted a rail, bent a few other pieces in the skid, bent the tunnel. Picked up a complete skid from the classifieds on this site, straightened the tunnel, and was back riding within a week.
I am relatively inexperienced when it comes to mountain riding. I've always thought there was no danger if you used common sense while riding. It's a real eye opener to see such an educated and experienced rider taken from our community. My heart goes out to all who knew and loved him.
I went through a lawyer. Cost about $1000.00. If I were to do it again I'd probably try a do it yourself kit, but the first time I'm glad I got a lawyer to do it. Especially if your going to be doing any out of province work. You may need to be extra-provincially registered.
I've heard rumor of a performance chip and exhaust upgrade that will give an otherwise stock nytro 170hp. Are there any proven upgrades that will even come close to this or are they all placebos?
I've read a little bit about the VDI form copperhead on another site. I'd like to hear what people think of it before I jump out and buy it. The review I read made it sound as good as the one for the king quad.
I ride a 08 grizzly 700, a 08 nytro mtx, and a 97 mountain max 700. Always looking for information about these machines. Currently looking at buying a chip for the grizzly and wondering about exhaust and clutching on my stock nytro. Any info would be appreciated.
