Ja mam G550 FI 2009 w kolorze CAMO i jest zaajebisty, rozpedza sie do 64MPH(107KM/H) ale nieraz mysle ze lepsza bylaby 700

[Carfreak1177]

@TenMlodszyLudwik1995 Yea somtimes I wish I should have bought a 700, but I didnt really think 170 more cc's was worth $2500 more

[snowrider27101]

[luvsonel2]

super machine! i have a 700 fi power steering ducks unlimited model... only thing missing is....a turret!

[cbk982]

I prefer the 550 over the 700 just because i don't want the 700's power. do you know what i mean?

[cbk982]

I think thats one of the best machines ive seen

@WKHalford

I got the IRS one..and ive put over 1500 hard miles on mine and no problems yet (knock on wood)

mine has 26" mudlites with 12" ss112 rims.

@plow0www The swingarm or IRS version?

I had an '07 BF750. It was a learning experience to say the least. I bought it used with 27" Mud Lites, winch, and it had a big bore kit (I think 785cc). It had been sunk and needed a new belt and a few other minor things. Once I got the bugs worked out and got used to it, I began to like it some. But then it seized a rod bearing. Apparently there are overheating and lube issues with that motor that need fixed.

Although fast, it didn't impress me much.

@plow0www The 550/700 supposedly have several improvements over the 660. I don't recall all of them, but seems like the steering geometry is one improvement, the EPS option is another, and the Wide-Track lower front A-arms is yet another. Also, I think the swept back rear A-arms on the 550/700 is one more improvement, which puts the rear wheel center behind the rear ring and pinion housing center, giving less rear overhang. And fuel injection is another.

So give me the 550/700 over the 660.

@390galaxie The EFI on ALL brands works quite well for the most part. The Grizzly is actually one of the better ones.

The problem is almost always from when they sit and the fuel goes bad.

The solution whether it has a carb or EFI is to run fuel stabilizer often, especially when the machine will be sitting more than a couple of weeks.

Add the stabilizer to the tank. Ride it to ensure it's mixed well AND that the fuel/stabilizer mix reaches the carb or injector. Then you won't have problems.
