YAMAHA 2014 GRIZZLY 550 FI EPS vs HONDA TRX420 PG
Monarch22 posted a topic in General ATV Discussion
Hi everyone,I would like to have some input from knowledgeable guys in the ATV world. It would be my first ATV and I kind of narrowed it down to these two models, got the quotes but I can't make up my mind which one to buy. I like them both, but there are few details that make the difference.YAMAHA 2014 GRIZZLY 550 FI EPS vs HONDA TRX420 PG Few things that make the difference- -More power 550 ( Yamaha) vs 420 (Honda) cc - Higher ground clearance 11.8" (Yamaha) vs 9.1" (Honda) - Bigger fuel capacity 20L (Yamaha) vs 13.3L (Honda) - Lock differential Yes ( Yamaha) No ( Honda) - Quoted Price ( best I got for out the door) Yamaha about 1000 more expensive than Honda - Honda's known reliability vs Yamaha's second best ( I may be wrong here, this is just word of mouth from here and there) The fact Yamaha has a sealed variable v-belt for its Ultramatic transmission can be considered a disadvantage vs Honda's transmission ?There is one thing that I'm not sure about. They both have almost similar weight but different size engines, how do you think fuel consumption would be in one vs the other. This is about fuel capacity rather than saving on gas, if the gas consumption is about the same ( not sure here), that 13.3 L on Honda really bothers me.What else ? What's your opinion ?Thanks in advance to all that will post a reply to this. -
I found the sportsman 550 for sale for around 5,000.00 with very low hours. I did some research and one of the reviews the gas guage quit working and then started working again with no more problems and then the active descent control & engine braking system quit working. This was on both quads they did a long term test on the 550 & 850 both around a 100 miles quit working. If any of you have one of the 550's or know about them could you let me know if you or someone you know has had any problems and if you or them like the quad and it's performance.

Howdy from Texas! First post. Looking forward to reading more on the forum. Bought this ATV in Oct 2008....primarily cause GF and I hunt together. Even more, we both like riding together, so this was the perfect setup. Bike's performed flawlessly since day 1....until today. Went to put it on the trailer to go to the camp....it'd been a while since I'd done more than crank it. Took it down the road to make a short run....make sure everything works ok....and it just died. Will 'crank'...once n a while it'll start....but wont run long...a couple of seconds. The speedo will go blank (flash)....then come back on. Gut feeling is telling me probably the battery is weak...or has a dead cell. Ive got it charging right now.....if it cranks and runs after that.....I feel pretty confident that's the problem. Any ideas? Comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
