I have a 07 grizzly 700 4x4,when cruising at a steady speed you feel the bike surge,the faster you go the faster it surges,what could cause this?

Surging is usually at the throttles and idle air control motor. Cleaning them usually takes care of this problem. I haven't worked on bikes since the 80's. Surging back then was always dirty carbs. I am assuming that the new bikes are fuel injected and have an IAC motor.

1999 Silverado has an engine surge of 200-500 RPM at 45 to 55 MPH

sounds a little like a cruise control problem.
they used to have a centering adjustment that kept the speed within a range. If the range somehow shifted to the high end this would cause your surge. it would be a screwdriver slot on the outside of the case.cw increase ccw decrease. yours is set too high or cw.
I work the screw back and forth several times in case dirt entered the cruise module.

Can I replace my 1996 Chevy Blazer's Engine with a 2005 Chevy Blazer Engine? They are both 4.3L Vortec Engines.

you can,,BUT you're gonna have to replace the intake and a whole lot of stuff on the motor you're installing, most things will interchange from old motor BUT not all. you will have to buy all the other stuff, either new or used,,,but it is possible!

2000 chevy blazer starting issues

swng,
1) Is the service engine soon light ever on when engine is running?
2) Per your description I would look at the ECT sending unit. It sends coolant temperature information the the Engine Control Module for proper fuel delivery for cold engine start. It may have lost its calibration.
Let me know.
Regards,
