2009 Yamaha Grizzly 700 EFI died.


notsure

Recommended Posts

I was dragging some small tree branches yesterday and my grizzley 700 (EFI) backfired and died. Until that moment, it has run perfectly since I bought it new. It restarts but doesn't want to keep running. After sitting for an hour, it started, ran for 30 seconds and then died again and was harder to restart. It has less than 200 miles, has never been in water, and has good gas in the tank. I called my dealer and his guess was the fuel pump. I don't have a service manual. Is there a fuel filter in the fuel line somewhere? Is the fuel pump in the gas tank? I will probably buy a manual; are the aftermarket ones good enough? Yamaha wants 80 bucks for theirs. Thanks in advance for any replies.

The fuel pump is in the gas tank, it is located directly behind the filler cap under the plastic. I would test it before you replace it, your problem could just as easily be the fuel injector or the throttle position sensor, or something else. A repair manual is definately a good idea because it should have specs and info that you can use to test some of the possible problem parts and it will also have a troubleshooting guide that can help you diagnose your problem. It is hard to find aftermarket manuals for newer machines, so I think the factory manual is going to be your only option, but it is the best way to go IMO. Ebay has the factory manual for $75, but you have to pay for shipping, so you may as well get it from the dealer. What I would not get from the dealer is parts, when you get ready to order parts, check Babbits Sports Center, Service Honda, and Bike Bandit. You will save alot of money on the parts by buying them from an online retailer, and they have the same OEM parts that the dealer will have. Good luck.

I would get a manual and try and diagnose the problem yourself before letting a dealer rape you and maybe replace a few things that don't need replacing before they get it right. Just my personal opinion, I would never, take my quad to a dealer unless I wasn't paying for it. Just too expensive. Ether way, good luck. BTW, another thing I won't let a dealer do is sell me parts. Like I said in the last post, an online parts retailer will save you money. Service Honda sells the fuel pump for $309.69 + shipping. Here is a link to the site, check them out. You can look up the part by entering the part # 3B4-13907-10-00. You can also look up the machine on the micro fische, you will need to look it up by the Yamaha model number, the bigger Grizzlys aren't listed as such, just by the model number.

It was very dark in color (on the brown side). I had bad plugs on a Evinrude 9.9 hp 4 stroke outboard that looked exactly like this plug and it acted the same way my Grizzly did.

I know when I bought the quad they told me not to let it sit and idle and not to run it at low rpm's for long periods. Well in the last couple of weeks I was doing all those things.

It has always run extremely well when I was trail riding and even some snow plowing last year but in recent weeks I was grading dirt with my plow and it really working hard.

I'm going to see how she is over the next couple of weeks just doing some trail riding with my buds.

Thanks for the replies

I took it to the dealer, finally. They had it for a week. They did a lot of system checks...everything was ok. They finally added a 'carbon buster' to the gas and it started and ran. They blamed the gas. I get 500 gallons at a time and the barrel was filled the first part of May. I use unleaded, no ethanol. None of my other vehicles have had a problem with the gas, including my other Yamaha, a Moto4, chain saw, leaf blowers, mc's, etc. I guess I don't beat on the Grizz hard enough. Now when I'm riding around the farm I keep the Grizz in low.

      Have a 1998 AC 300 2x4, Just installed a new carburetor. Engine starts easy but the choke RPMs are very hi and take along time (5-10 mins when cold out). After engine has warmed up choke releases and it idles and runs fine., It does no have an electric choke. The choke lever is never used and it seems like an auto choke? Long story short, how can I lower the choke rpm levels?
       
      Also, carb came with a spare145 jet, not 100% sure what is installed. Could this impact choke RPMs?
       
       
      Any help and information greatly appreciated.

      Hi, I have been around everything with a motor since I was little, and finally purchased more to get my husband, and kids involved. I have 4 quads I will be searching around for information on. I have two 2002 Suzuki LT80K quads, a 1997 Yamaha Timberwolf 250, and a 1996 Kawasaki Bayou 220. I have had different ones throughout the years, and plan on buying another Yamaha Banshee. I plan on trying to learn more about all of them, so I can customize some of them. I know nothing about them besides how to race them, my dad always took care of the rest, but figured it was time for me to learn.

      Hi all, from Virginia here. This winter I bought a old Atv to tinker with and have really enjoyed it. Thanks for this forum.

      I am working on a basket case for a friend.  It is a 98 Big Bear (YFM350FWB).  It came with a parts machine which is a 96, which I am coming to find out is VERY different from his machine.
       
      Anyway, first thing is first.  I checked compression, 150psi.  Valves are set correctly, and the engine is in time.  I cleaned the carb, and there was some junk in the passages.  It is a chinese carb, which I figured from the lack of markings or lettering altogether.
       
      The bike runs.  It idles ok, but breaks up badly under acceleration.  Pulling a new spark plug shows it is running lean.  White strap, with no black whatsoever.  So I have the carb adjusted with the mixture screw out way too much (about 5 turns), and the diaphragm needle lifted to the top slot.  It is still not getting enough fuel (or too much air).  It backfires through the carb, and cannot get above idle without carrying on.  The carb boot is in good shape, so it isn't pulling any air there.  I did test this as well by spraying ether around the boot when running, looking for intake leaks.
       
      Anything big I am missing here?  I am starting to believe that this chinese carb is the issue.  This quad came with the original carb, which I would like to rebuild and use, but the mixture screw is totally stuck, and stripped way down in its recess.  
       
      Thanks for any assistance.
