What is Linhai?
Linhai is one of the world leaders specializing in the production of inexpensive but high-quality motorcycle products. The company was founded in 1956 and was initially engaged in the manufacture of power plants. In 1994, Linhai established a joint venture with the Yamaha concern, which became known as Jiangsu Linhai Yamaha Motor Company Ltd. In 2001, the company released the first all-terrain vehicle, the Linhai-Yamaha 300 CC, for the North American market. The model was equipped with a liquid-cooled motor, which showed such excellent performance and reliability that Asian manufacturers repeatedly approached Linhai Group with an offer to purchase units for installation on their all-terrain vehicles. However, the company, concerned about preserving its image, unlike most companies, refused to sell its power plants.
In addition to high-quality engines, only advanced designs and components are used when assembling Linhai Yamaha ATVs, such as the Delphi Multec EFI fuel injection system or CVT automatic transmission. All-terrain vehicles are produced in the Chinese province of Jiangsu and exported to many countries around the world: the USA, Canada, Germany, Finland, Portugal, Australia, Romania, South Africa, etc. However, Linhai does not stop there and strives to expand its geography, offering multifunctional and affordable for most consumers product.
Repair and tuning of Yamaha Grizzly ATVs
Owners of Japanese equipment note its reliability and durability, but comfort sometimes leaves much to be desired. Even the top models do not have seats with backrests, mirrors, hand pads or underbody protection. Immediately after purchase, users recommend installing additional equipment; this will not only make the equipment convenient, but also increase its service life.
With repairs, things are twofold; the same Yamaha 700 ATVs can work for 5-7 years without serious problems. However, if the device breaks down, its repair may take more than one month. It is difficult to find high-quality original parts for Japanese equipment, so you will have to order them.

Grizzly ATVs and their features
Cars of the Japanese brand are especially popular among riders due to a number of advantages:
High cross-country ability. The equipment holds up confidently even on difficult routes. Of course, cross-country ability depends on the power and “filling” of the device, but even ATVs with a 350 cc engine perform well off-road. Reasonable price. The cost of the latest version of the Yamaha Grizzly 700 ATV starts from 1 million rubles. The price depends on the modification and configuration of the device. Functionality
The manufacturer pays special attention to the “stuffing” of the equipment, installing reliable brakes, all-wheel drive, electric power steering, etc. This has a beneficial effect not only on the versatility, but also on the comfort of the machines. Durability
On average, Grizzly ATVs will operate without serious malfunctions for 5-7 years.
However, owners of Japanese equipment discovered one significant problem - a shortage of spare parts. The problem is especially acute with models produced in 2007-2012. Therefore, spare parts for the Yamaha Grizzly ATV will have to be ordered from a dealer or in specialized workshops.
"Bears" are not afraid of dirt
If we abstract from dry theory and tell how all these innovations and improvements show themselves in practice, we can say that the Grizzly does not experience a shortage of traction and agility. When starting from a stop, even with a sharp opening of the throttle, the wheels of the all-terrain vehicle do not slip, but you feel that the traction is like that of a diesel tractor. Japanese engineers specifically configured the fuel map and variator in such a way as to give their brainchild maximum traction at the bottom, and therefore cross-country ability. Neither in the shifting sand nor in the slushy mud did the Grizzly 700 give us any reason to doubt its all-terrain qualities and admit the very idea that you could bury yourself somewhere on it, helplessly sitting on your belly, and pray to heaven to send a tractor.
