how many miles you got on your grizzly? lookin for the most

[shanksRX-1]

Im looking for the person with the most miles on their grizzly. I have a buddy that has an 03 with over 9000 extremely hard miles on it but he has a bad base gasket (he thinks) It wont run and it was very hot when it quit.

I also know a guy that has a honda 650 with 14000 miles on it. He took it to the dealer to try to figure out an electrical problem he was having and they told him to take it home and put it up on blocks and be glad it lasted that long. lol I wanna see if anyone has more miles than that on a yammi...

One of the guy I ride with has an 02 Grizzly with 15000kms and no serious problems ever. Still a stong runner, you'd never know it. What that converts to in miles I don't know. I know of another guy with 60,000kms on an older honda 300- took 2 motors to get this far.

I had over 3000 miles on my old 600 and they were very hard miles. It still ran great and oil consumption was next to nothing.

Only 450mi on the new one.

1998 600 with 19500km. Has had clutch and belt but no other major problems. Starter drive modified but motor still solid.
Highest quad seen was a 96 350 Wolverine with 48000km and no motor work done.

wow, those are some pretty impressive numbers. Im not sure what that converts to in miles but I think its around 19500= about 12000 so those are pretty impressive.

1km = .6214 miles

So, 15000km is 9,321 miles..............Not bad at all!

That formula for km to mi is correct. You can also take km times 5/8 and it comes out nearly the same.

Should add that of those 19500km (12000mi), most is in low range.
So those k's would probably equate to about 2000+ hours of operation. Bikes are so expensive here that we keep them alive way past your use-by dates. This one was about $ US11000.00 when new. And that was in 1998!!!!!!
