Fmf grizzly ?

[Seanny deep]

Hey guys new here.  Just picked up a 1996 kx 500 Been in storage the last 14 years it’s a 1996. Never owned a 500 own a 1998 kx250 and a 2000 kx 250. My kids on a kx 112. Looking for information tips and tricks. The 500 I picked up needs a head gasket some new tires and what not. My biggest question is it has a fmf pipe that doesn’t say much else on it. The original owner was in his late 60s and thought it was a fmf grizzly? I can’t find this mentioned any where? Curious if anyone’s ever heard of such a thing. Tried the search bar just quads and drill bits came up. I live in British Columbia Canada, look forward to all the knowledge that appears to be on this site. Cheers Sean

Hey, nice bike. The '96 is definitely something special. The only one with the sought after purple tank 
Back then there were some FMF pipes without any description to them except for the embossed FMF logo.
The only thing that comes to my mind when I hear FMF grizzly are the FMF "Gnarly" pipes.
Those are meant to give you a little more bottom end grunt. Maybe that is what the seller meant and got the words mixed up.
And yes, quads probably came up with your search because FMF offers pipes for the Yamaha Grizzly quad.

Have fun with your new old bike

Let's try to get all the 2T FMF pipes cataloged.

There is:
Just FMF
Don Emler Signature (these have his signature on them, sometimes people just call them "Signature")
Factory (modifier meaning no coating or clear coat)
Fatty
Fat Boy (Fat Boy is like Fatty but only made for a year or two before becoming Fatty probably due to getting a letter from Harley or Paul Turner the ATV pipe maker or both)
Gold Series (modifier meaning nickel plated)
Gnarly (off-road pipes that have thicker walls and nickel plated)
More? Probably
