Hello, my name is Len. I find this forum is right on time. I just bought a 2002 grizzly, on ebay. It needed alot of atttention. Now, I am a mechanic, with 20+ years of experiance, on many and various machines.
Anyways, back to my machine. I bought it from an ebay dealer for about 5 grand, it has 1200 miles on it. The rear brake, was worn to the max. I had to go 100 miles, to get the pads, right now, so I could evaluate the noise, on time so I knew it was just the brakes. The idle was badly adjusted, I had to adjust the valves, then the carb. Now it starts and runs. The machine has an oil leak between( what I will call the splitter, and the reardrive). I have bought the factory manual, it is is not very helpful without the net, and experiance. Anyways, I want to share, knowledge and experiance. Thanks, Len

The 660 sure is a great quad we have just over 3,000km on ours and its a work quad so it gets used hard.
The only thing to ever go wrong(2 weeks ago) was a stuck valve.Our dealer said that is almost the only thing to go wrong with the 660.

An Engine Valve? That would be gay. Not impressed with that at all. I hope that isn't a common problem.
