1998 grizzly 600 project - NO SPARK

Re: '98 yamaha grizzly 600(pros/cons)?

got one the same, 98 600. not much around for performance parts, but the atv is reliable and keeps on running. blackwaters work well, as will other tires. , maybe new brakes front and rear. side shift may need some lube, you can replace the clutch rollers and also do a coop mod 1.5 to 2 mil clutch spacers for a cheap effective clutch mod. you may want a clutch kit with larger tires. o yeah check the air filter as they get loose and don't seal properly

hey kitty..... I'm thinking you're right..... Solid rear axle shouldn't have the same problem??

Re: '98 yamaha grizzly 600(pros/cons)?

Wasnt sure it was a solid rear axel,tough to slip those out LOL! My brute is a solid rear axel and they are a blast to ride,the back end slides around way better than a independant suspension,A little rougher but way more fun to ride!

Re: '98 yamaha grizzly 600(pros/cons)?

only thing id do is change up the 10" rear rims with a set of 12" off a big bear or something with the dish on the rear rim, it will make it easier to find 12" tire sets .....
.

it has 12" rims front and rear already..... 25" bearclaw rear tires(new)

Re: '98 yamaha grizzly 600(pros/cons)?

heh common summitric lets get some 27" mudbitches or something on that beast and let it eat.

In all seriousness . Id clean the clutch and re grease it before you take it out for a big ride.

Id probably be looking at snorkeling or relocating to a higher spot,at least the clutch intake/exhaust if you plan on any mud/water riding the air intake for the motor is probably ok where it is though for normal water crossings.

other than that some big tires and it should rip.

Re: 1998 yamaha grizzly 600 project

Thats in better shape than my buddies when He got his.... A good place to get parts that are cheap. Check out Bike Bandit.. Shipping is great you can get it delivered right to the door of your shop and take it home that night.. The only thing to watch for is the exchange rate !! That is where you may feel the hurt. They have pretty much everything, OEM and Aftermarket. That is where we get 85% of our parts and apparel.. Good luck. When you get it making smoke we will have to go for a ride...

1998 yamaha grizzly 600 project STILL HAS NO SPARK

I can't get any spark. I've replaced a dead relay and ignition switch and stator/pick-up ass'y and can't get any coil power from the cdi box.... Doesn't appear to have any power going into the cdi box, except a weak power wire yellow from one of the relays. Does anyone live in the edmonton area, with a '98 600 grizzly that wouldn't mind popping by my house and i could try a cdi box from their machine and quickly check and compare their wiring as well?? I'm really stuck here guys, and hope someone can help me out. The yamaha repair manual is quite vague on the ignition system.

I own a 2000 Grizzly, everything should be the same. I could probably meet you on Wed. night.. Let me know if that works for you. We could also meet at your shop or mine, But you probably do not want to load a Quad that does not run.. Let me know so we could set something up. Talk to you later..

you may have to hit up a Yamaha dealer or find a junker quad and get the cdi off it i dont see many after market 600 grizz cdi's
.

i did see this when i googled it tho

I have a brand new Yamaha Grizzly 600 IC CDI Ignitor for a 1998-2001 Grizzly 600 ATV.

These have been on Back-order from Yamaha for about 6 months. i was lucky enough to find one.

My Stator was gone not the CDI box.

I have the receipt from Yamaha and paid nearly $500.00 with tax.

It may fit other Yamaha applications as there are 2 Part numbers for it.

ya, i'm hoping to, but prayin' the parts come in today.....also waiting for an axle for the polaris 500 as well

 

[Summitric]

Finally got the cdi unit in the mail, from a fellow in nova scotia last nite........ The big 600 fired right up, on second crank!!!! Bad oil leak around a broken bolt..... Climb higher thought it should be okay, but it leaks like a siv...... Tore cylinder head off last nite and drilled out broken bolt..... Just gotta get a few gaskets seals and new bolt and she'll be going together tonite.

Does anyone know if yamaha had a drain hole drilled into the left exhaust manifold pipe at the front underside(probably for water drainage??)?????
