Having owned several grizzles and rode with several hondas I learned one thing. On a cold morning I could start my grizz and ride off. The automatic honda guys had to start their hondas and let them warm up before they could get them to move. I put thousands of trouble free miles on my grizzles. My son is still riding my old 02 660 and other than changing the oil and air filter it has had nothing done to it. Other than putting 27x10-12 bighorns all the way around.
This must have been a long time ago before Honda went to fuel injection. I have owed 3 fuel injected Honda’s and they crank immediately and take right off. Owned a 2014 Yamaha griz 550 and it was the same. Only complaints I’ve had of my yams are the suspension is a little too soft for my liking. They are both great machines in my opinion
