Specifications and Reference Values

Accurate baseline data is critical when servicing ATV chassis and drivetrain components. This document provides the high-depth technical specifications essential for maintaining the Grizzly 300. Engine compression pressure, for instance, is documented at 1,200 kPa (174.0 psi). The electrical section details the required GTX12-BS 12V 10 Ah battery standard. You will find exact fluid capacities and torque values mapped out clearly across the maintenance chapters. Factory standards dictate a tightening torque of 15 Nm (10.8 ft·lbf) for the engine oil drain bolt. Furthermore, key chassis metrics like the 1199 mm (47.2 in) wheelbase and the 44 lb front carrier load limit are strictly defined to help you maintain consistent vehicle handling and safety margins.
