Ditto Yogies comments about the Easy Rider Style handle bars.

The bike Grizzly put up has the newer generation plastics, like on the X5 and 6 series, bar-work is different and the instrument pod is on the front panel instead of the handlebars. It may have the EFI 500 motor, which has a kw or so more power but greater torque through the rev range than the carby job.

The 600 EFI has about 35% more torque again for the same money as this brabham thing.

All the 2 seaters come in at about 360kg net. Not light, but strong.

Getting full throttle is the biggest answer to getting the expected go out of the CF188 motors in carby.
Apart from the throttle limiter at the handle bars, there is a internal stop where the throttle cable goes into the carby. Remove the little panel (secured with 3 tiny screws) on the RHS, mill the stop and replace the panel. That done and adjusted up, WOT is WOT instead of a bit more than 3/4. Just a quirk! That might help Dennis keep up with you Yogie.

The instrument pod is so much like the grizzly its not funny , and the 4x4 button as well as diff lock , the fuel tank is metal beleive it or not and is in the same place as a grizzly, they have full adjustable shocks front and rear , but the water coolant tank is very close to the front shocks ,, ok they are touching .

I thinking this is the place that manufctures bits for the jap quads, and I have to say the gear selector is the best I have seen, not jamming, I think it is the one kingquad uses.

And that would be CF Moto, since 1988.

Get your backside topside, and I'll give the hands on machine test, Yogie.
Your reveiw is but a few weeks away.
