Engine braking question on 570

18012 Views 29 Replies 11 Participants Last post by  jim_w
Considering a new 570 EPS. The camo is the only one with EB. Is it worth the extra bucks? I'm currently a Griz 660 rider and I am used to EB on downhills. Is it true EB or artificial ADC on the popo. Seems I read somewhere that ADC is TOO aggressive

Thanks

They did a price adjustment last fall, lowered, but still too high!!
EB is fine you will like it. Personally I would prefer it since I ride mountain area half the time.


Thanks for the feedback folks! I asked the salesman why it only comes on the camo, he couldn't answer my question...:hmmm:

No other manufacturer can touch the price point on these 570's. 5535.46 out the door for the non PS model.

550 Griz is almost 8000.00 around here!

Thanks again fellows,

Three years ago a salesman quoted me to almost 10k for a grizz 550 in canada, I almost shat on him... I walked out the door laughing at them.

Yamaha think to highly of themselves here in canada. :rofl:
Really? I will look up at their site for fun. I guess the 550 goes for 9k +tax LOL With that said if they where going for 6k eps I would look at them seriously.
Well shat! I found this in Douglasville Ga for 5998 out the door!


Hard to justify the 570 now:hmmm:

CF Moto makes a nice UTV also.

I was really impressed with their atv's too. Will give them a good look next time when I replace mine.
I have a 570 EPS, on my first ride, Black Mountain KY, I was able to engine brake mine down fast hills by slowly blipping the throttle to keep the clutch engaged, worked pretty good.

Works for me too. As long as ya give it some gas it'll keep the clutch engaged.

Same here, just feather the throttle to load the clutches up.

that does work. thats how our ranger is. its just nice being able to idle down a climb and not have to hold that fine line of enough throttle to stay engaged but not too much to speed up too fast.

My good friend and riding buddy rides a 07 500 Sportsman. He has to ride the thin line of "just enough feathering" everytime we ride the mountain. He has expressed many times how he hopes he never has a brake failure on the decent! Other than that, he loves his popo!

My old 660 Griz will hold me back all the way down. Except for the fact I have to steer, I could take my hands off the handlebar and feet off the floorboards and creep down.

If I do go Polaris, I guess EB will be a must have. Good thing is, it is available on a popo!:)
