I never gave it a a whole lot of thought until the other night.
I was putting shims in my fathers 2012 grizzly 700le.
I had ridden my 2016 grizzly to his house and rode his back to my place to do the work.
I noticed how much slower his machine can go.
I have 1.5mm shims and a purple spring. His machine is stock.
His would drive so slow it would read 0mph on the speedo.
Mine is 3-4mph absolute slowest it'll drive.
After shimming his, it's even slower.
I had a 2009 700 with a machined sheave and it was awesome with slow low speed Control. That was 3 years ago and I assumed my 2016 would be this slow with a machined sheave as well, so I thought my 2016 was normal stock and just forgot about it.
What I'm asking I guess, is .. has anyone ridden a 2016 and an older grizzly back to back ? Did you notice a difference in the slow speed ability.
My belt ratio is about 2.75:1 which baffles me more, because my fathers is about 2.6-2.7 so mine should be slower.
We both have tires that measure 26.5" tall.
Mine has 1800 miles his has only 300 miles. (I know right.. a 2012 with only 300miles.. he bought it a week ago from an old guy)
Any thoughts ?
