Thank God for your video. I think my 2013 Kodiak has a blown piston. I might need to tear into it.

[@Clapped.yz250]

might have to rebuild my 400
engine not really looking forward to it but i love it too much 😢

[@tommyharand5962]

Can you post a video of getting it back in time?

[@lesgallivan4159]

Were you planning to replace the con rod , if not, I really hate seeing someone hammer it sideways to remove a piston pin

[@dresway187]

How were you able to jam the gears so it doesn’t spin when taking off the recoil cup and crank cover

[@MidNebraskaMotorsports]

Any impact makes this job easier. Otherwise, depending on what stage you are in you can hold the piston/crank. What area are you rebuilding?

[@jamiegoodreid]

I have to get to the Shift Cam Assembly to replace it, can you provide a list of the gaskets that need replacing?

[@coolgamer5148]

I'm reassembling the head do u know torque specs for the four longs and the one bottom 2 tops Allen by any way .

[@shawncordeiro1150]

in early 2000s why did Yamaha intuduce a liquid cooled 421cc kodaik/grizzly/wolverine that has the same power ?

[@IVIylostpotato]

I need help

[@coolgamer5148]

I need help my 02 big bear 400 I rebuilt top end and my cam sprocket is off half degree when installed with tensioner I didnt notice this before rebuild as I bought it and was smoking so I immediately tore it down any ideas do I have it 180° out? I tried setting it retarded but still out either way

[@huntercoin7391]

where the rest of video

[@ErikISkogen]

I love how in 95% of the world its called something, but to get in the US market they have to call it KODIAK, like the japanese would call it something american ;)

[@seakadventurer1330]

Ita called marketing

[@berad187]

I was curious is there really two different types of Yamaha Kodiak 400 engines because I see this one your working on is a air-cooled engine and mine I have is a 01 Yamaha Kodiak 400 4x4 and mine is liquid cooled not air-cooled

[@derrickshumpert4138]

He have a Older model

[@berad187]

@@derrickshumpert4138 that's what I figured I had to be sure
