700 grizzly EPS problem

28816 Views 35 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  Bandit
I have noticed since its been getting down below freezing at night. For the first hour i ride mt grizzly, at slow speeds my power stering will twitch really quick and pull to the right and goes back striaght. It only lasts for a split second, but its enough to freak you out. And it will do it about every 15-25sec. for about an hour. I was thinking i might have some water in a electrical connection and it freezes in there. Any how im open for any suggestions.

Yes it probably will. Sorry for running away with this thread.
Well i have been talking with Dan the CVMAN and he thinks i might have put something backwards when reassembling the inner cvjoint. So im going to have to take it apart again. :cussing: :BangHead:

LMAO! No worries man...I was just trying to figure out what I said that indicated I didn't like EPS? LMAO!

Ok bandit, what do you think of this option especially since your going to start tearing stuff apart again anyway? (Dielectric grease).
Im still messing with it :BangHead: But i think im onto something. With both front wheels in the air. The right wheel i can spin freely.The left wheel spins freely then it gets stuck, the cv joint is binding up it feels. I took the outer CV apart and it looks ok to me. But i must have something in backwards. Does anyone have a picture or anything i can go off of to make sure Im putting this thing back together right? I feel like such a retard cause there isnt much to them. Do you think i might have the big washer backwards maybe?
But the good thing is, its my fault and not The Grizzly EPS!

The 700 is the same way. The right wheel always spins freely and the left wheel feels like it's sticks. It is normal and if you lift a grizzly on the showroom floor and try it, it will do the same thing.

X2 I thought this was a problem too, but it's normal.
I took out the axle today, and found that the outer CV joint is hanging up. If you rotate the joint it will bind up. I dont know what to do. At one point i had to put it in a vise and hit with a mallet cause it was so stuck bad. Then it rotated freely about 5-6 times then locked up again.
I wonder if that is whats going on when people bust the side out of there housing.
I just talked to Dan the CV man and he dont sell a half shaft. But he does sell the outer joint. And he said it is a pain to get apart cause of the snap ring on the inside that you cant see. So you have to beat apart.

I don't think so. My 660 and 700 did the same thing and I haven't had an axle problem yet. Knock on wood. :BangHead:
what do you mean did the same thing? Bust out the side of housing?
koko...you have any pics of your bike posted anywhere...i cant see it very well on avatar.
well i really cleaned my outer CV joint and added new grease. So im going to try it out today. Keep your fingers crossed.
I took it out for a little ride today and every thing seemed fine :icon_thumleft:
