[Bulldoggr]

I have a 2009 450 Griz as well. there is a post on here with pics. I moved to Wyoming, Laramie to be exact. I take her up into the snowy Range Mountains, I have ridden it in elv. of 10,000 feet and it ran great.

I am a big guy, 6'2" 260 pounds and get a top speed of 46 MPH. thats in Two wheel drive. I am going to put a plow on it. cause we have already gotten a few Snow storm thru here for the year.

Yup, is living up to my expectations well. The windshield is actually a nice option. Haven't had it smack me on the face yet on the rougher trails. I've since new installed rear overfenders and kimpex fender gaurds w/footpegs for the Wife. Here's a pic.

Fishing Junky, I just purchased a new Grizzly 550 with a similar rear seat, and would like to know where you got the rear foot pedals for the rear passenger. They seem like just the ticket. Thanks!

Hey Alg. I can't remember where I bought them off hand. They are Kimpex fender guards w/footpegs. I ordered them off the internet and they came from Canada. Do a search and see what you come up with. Wish I could help more, but I can't remember. Let me know if You have anymore questions, as they are nice for the rider. I can ask my Brother as he is the one that sent me in the right direction. By the way, this is the new and improved 450. Junky............

It's about time Yamaha ditched the dunlops and got a better tire! I like blue or black better myself, but that's just me! Congrats on the new unit!

I was thinking the same thing. I instantly bought 589's for mine cause the stock just didn't cut it.

Fishing Junky, I did order a pair of rear fender guards/foot pegs. Thanks! I have a second question------how well does your rear seat work? I bought a Moose brand rear seat and it doesn't seem to work very well. My wife sits back there, and because of the angle of the seat she slides forward all the time. Whether we're moving or not. What brand is yours? Where'd you get it?

[Fishing Junky]

Alg. Mine is made by Tamarack. I've sat back there several times without footpegs and never felt that I was slipping forward on lets say a road or smooth trail. Hit bumps or fast stopping and it is a different story. I wouldn't worry too much about it, as your new footpegs will/should take care of this problem. Your wife is gonna love em. Good luck, Junky....
