Hey everyone first time on here awsome site. well now to the point

I just went out for a ride tonight on my 07 griz 700 and as i was coming down a hill my power steering went out of control left to right at a wicked pace and it took all i had to keep myself on the machine. Never had this happen before but it happend twice tonight. Anyone have any suggestions on what the problem could be. I checked for the obvious sticks, rocks, mud ect.... but could not see anything and i did not go through any deep water???? any sugestions would be great thanx alot.

I have an 07 700 Grizz and one time my steering went crazy also...I lost my mind trying to find out how and why...it hapened for a couple of rides, come to find out there was a pin size hole in my cv boot, all the grease had been pushed out..water and mud got in and was seazing the bearings...If I had kept riding it I would have caused some real damage. It only cost me a new boot install...(check those boots very well

I had the very same problem after playing around in some mud. It went away after I hosed it down. Just a side note i've had nothing but problems with my eps. It works when it wants to, no matter what I do to it.

hey Thanks for the message i havent been on here for a cuple weeks but ya thats exactly what it was small hole in one of the boots that seazed the bearing and unfortunatly didn't catch it in time so threw in a new bearing and everything is great.

Thanks every for your input i was just stuborn and thought i new everything well i will be the first to admit that i should consider everything and learn how to trouble shoot abit better. And for every one yes it was a wheel bearing that was seazing NOT the power steering. after the replacment everything has been running great.

the EPS unit is conected to the handel bars through a coupler, then upper steering stem,bolted on right by the pod, and last is the bars them self. i didnt seee much therir that could fail. coupr could be loose/striped----- maybe sure was tight to pound off.

my bike has done it a couple of times and let me tell you its scary i ride fast and it isnt tie rods i know it has to be something with the eps because i i dont go in deep water or mud it never has done it but if i do i will jerk you to the right and it is really hard to turn back i dont know why it does it it sucks tho but if i dont go through water or mud itworks well
