Hello GC.
I'm Mike from NW NJ. I have countless miles of rocky trails to ride around here. New to Grizzly but not new to wrenching or riding. I just bought a 05 660. Giving it the once over. This site seems to have more 700 info than 660 but it appears most of it is the same. I am new to CVT. Everything else I own has a manual transmission. What is "Grizzly Grease"? The gallon of grease I cleaned out of the primary sure looked like moly to me. I'd imagine any hi-temp grease would be fine. If I do the shim mod do I have to do the purple spring? Have people played around with this enough to know that its what should be done? I don't care about top end. 50mph is plenty for me. I'd rather that power down low. I put 26" rip saws on and they are a heavy tire. I don't have a reference for stock because it came with 27" dirt devils. I'd imagine the unsprung weight is just as power robbing as a taller tire.
Is there a way to get the gear indicator sensor out without taking the exhaust off? Park, Neu,and low rarely light up. I know its an easy fix if I can get it off but the bolts are stuck tight and I don't have much room to work. I saw a thread about rebuilding the shifter. It hangs up a lot and getting into low is difficult.
So far I've changed all the fluids twice, except coolant, need to do that. Rebuilt the carb (pilot screw mod? really hard to tweek on a running engine) Greased the 4 zerks I found, put a light bar on for night riding, new tires. All I have left is finish cleaning out the cvt change the coolant and fix the shifter. I still need to buy a plow but I might wait till spring since I want the warn front mount and a sale would be nice. I plan on hanging on to this machine for a long time. Or at least until EFI gets cheaper.
