Yamaha Grizzly 600
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Yamaha Grizzly is a large utility all-terrain vehicle manufactured by the Yamaha Motor Company. It has a 595cc 4 stroke engine. Yamaha replaced the Grizzly 600 with the new Grizzly 660 using a larger engine that is 660cc derived from the Raptor 660 with a five valve cylinder head.
Beyond the engine, the biggest differences between the Grizzly 600 (offered in the US through the 2001 model year) and the Grizzly 660 (introduced in 2002), is the rear suspension. The older Grizzly has a ridged rear axle with a single shock. The newer Grizzly has independent rear suspension with dual shocks. This is reported to have significantly improved the handling characteristics of the newer model.
