Good Job- I have a 2003 Kodiak 450. Just hit 300 hours in 2021 and recently changed the oil and thought I should truly appreciate how bullet proof this bike is. I also have Honda TRX250R and a Kawasaki but my go to is the Yamaha. When I was a cub scout in the early '80s I was in the Yamaha patrol because in my rural NorCal area we all rode Yamaha's.
I have a 2000 kodiak 400 I have had since new. Mine does not have a speedometer but I clocked it at 45 mph. It sat for a long time while I worked out of state but now I am cleaning it up and getting it ready to run again. This is a great little ATV. The low range is a nice feature. I just replaced the original Dunlops with a set of Carlisles. New calipers and pads and flush the brake lines. It should last longer than I will. Nice to see some are still out there running hard.
I’ve got a 2009 350 kodiak with the independent rear, I love that machine. It’s not the fastest but it’s reliable and does everything I ask of it from pushing snow to mud bogging to trail riding or working around the house.
I have a 2005 Kodiak 450 with only 4000km on it. I like the independent rear suspension over the straight rear axle in snow. Only problem I had is to replace the battery once, until this week. It won't shift back from 4wd to 2wd after all winter. May be a corroded switch, or a bad relay or the front differential servo motor.
Everything on my bike works, lights, levers, etc... previous owner had gone through it and painted the frame with like a nice black undercoat. Looks really gd.
Lost my 2007 over side of a logging road down about 300'. It barrel-rolled and shed plastic the whole way. The racks bent and crushed the fenders but the frame did not crack and it literally started right up. I just gathered up all the plastic. Only other issue I've had was a short in the harness that I fixed, and low charging. I replaced the rectifier which seems to fix that. I did rebuild the carb. It fits perfectly in my truck bed with the gate up. A reliable machine if you care for it.
i have a 2002 i plow and do yard work with it . runs as new blew a cvjoint years back easy fix. paid 3k 15 years ago i cant believe what the new ones cost nowadays!!
I have one too. Bought it new in 01. Just cracked 1000 miles. Lol. Its in excellent condition. Always garaged and maintained. Especially cleaned and light coat of WD. Awesome machines!
Any chance you could tell me where the speedometer cable is attached to the engine? Just picked one up and it has a speedometer, but the cable is missing. Thanks,
Looking at one of these for $300, but has an engine knock and is stuck in park. From what I gather the park issue isn't much of a problem to fix, but what would your concerns be with the knock?
I have 2001 400 (green) and 2004 400 (red) I've had them about 10 years now. These things are built like Tanks. The 2001 has hi/lo range so I always use it to pull the heavy loads.
Hey strange question here My father passed a few months back and left this bike to my sister and myself, I've driven it many times but there is one thing I don't know and I'm not sure where else to ask 😅 When shifting from high to low or even engaging 4 wheel drive, do I need to let off the gas or come to a complete stop? Should I be trying to get the rpms up before shifting into high gear? any help would be appreciated 😊
i bought an 00 kodiak 400 about a year or so ago, and i havent really been able to figure out how to adjust the idle, could you make a video on it or tell me how? or if you have a video about it or looking around the carb could you post a link please? thank you in advance.
Have fun adjusting the fuel screw... its in a stupid place. even with a 90 degree pinion screwdriver its difficult as hell the nipple for the breather tube gets in the way and causes the pinion's teeth on the bit side of the screwdriver to catch so you cant tell if the if you jumped off the flat head slot in the screw or what. Lots of OEM parts are discontinued including the boots on both side of the carb. Although yours seems to be in decent condition.... the one im having the displeasure of working on had cockroaches crawling from it soon as i took the seat off. You'd think it was a scene from the first men in black movie..... MORE SUGAR WATER!!!!
I have two of these, a '00 and '01, and have had them since new. They really are the best quads ever made. Very reliable and overall pretty simple machines.
They are very good. I've had about 12 now. There better than the 450 in my opinion, I just can't recommend them over the 450 now as they are getting on so finding decent ones is hard. Only thing I really don't like is the non replaceable ball joints so you have to but complete control arms
Nice bikes, old-fashioned engine by todays standards. Essentially a scaled up version of the engine in this which is now a 20 year old design. Having said that it's incredibly hard wearing and if I had to pick a new bike now it would be that or a Polaris - which have come on loads in the last 5 years.
I had a 96 400 , great machine but front bearings suck and back brake system sucks . Engine and drive train the best , even bt todays standards . Best part about that machine is in low range , you could pull anything. But man at 660 pounds, you need that winch!
Best Utility quad Sport quads are better My family has one of these with a 400EX pipe welded on so it’s really loud and performs better It’s better than the grizzly
@@lucasfromdavalley that’s not the only reason lol I mean look at them The corners look sharper The grizzly was made to look smoother on the plastics and I don’t regally like that

Hi! Just want to say your quad reviews are really helpful. Keep them coming!
Great bike. I have the 2017 700 epi. Did a rad relocate and snorkel kit to it. Tons of fun playing in the mud. Great vid and be well.

i just bought 05 450 codiak! rode it today for 1st time! very powerful and smooth!

Thanks :) just bought one, paid a bit much but compared to continuing to dump money and time into parts on my polaris I couldn't be happier.
I got a 06 Yamaha kodiak 400 and i love it, Great Vid👍
Сколько пробег?
I just picked up this identical bike, non-running, for $500.
Cleaned the carb, runs like a champ.

This thing has been through alot but starts perfect wow.

Can you tell me a bit more about the short on the harness. I’m working through this now
Beautiful

I have the 2001 Kodiak 400 4x4. Awesome machine.

Have you swapped parts or frames from an 01 to an 04? I'm wondering if I could swap everything from an 04 frame to an 01 frame.
Can u show how to fix the head lights I got a 2005 Kodiak 400 4 wheel drive automatic having problems with it starting to
And that roaster🐓 there 💪
That Google commercial is filth that should not be allowed!
I have an issue with shifting when machine is running and it is automatic what oil it be
Your opinion of a 1993 Kodiak 400 4x4?
I have that same four wheeler
My solenoid is making a clicking sound does that mean that I need a new battery or a new solenoid
Just got 700 dollar 03 project 450..somebody was into the topend..so it will a fun project.

any help would be appreciated 😊
you need to come to a complete stop and press on the foot brake lever pedal at the same time
Totally agree man. Best fricken machine ever made. 🇨🇦
Nah, big bear 350 is the best. These have 23hp and the 350 has 37hp
Does the cvt wet clutch run from engine oil or does it have a separate sump?
Engine oil
just got a Yamaha Kodiak 400 for free. Needs a lot of work however, any videos out there on a complete redo of all the electronics on this bike??
I've done it before but no videos as far as I'm aware. Why do you need to replace everything??
i bought an 00 kodiak 400 about a year or so ago, and i havent really been able to figure out how to adjust the idle, could you make a video on it or tell me how? or if you have a video about it or looking around the carb could you post a link please? thank you in advance.
Funny enough I'm currently uploading a cab video that should help you out. Should be on in the next 12 hours
nice bike!, i got a 99 the other day!
How much did you pay for it?

The grizzly was introduced back in 1998, because I owned a 1999 Yamaha grizzly 600
Yep you are correct cuz I worked at a Yamaha dealership back in the 90's and they grizzly was the big stink in 98.
Will you be going to get a mother Honda like another foreman or a trx300
Almost definitely at some point. Depends what comes up.
Здравствуйте, скажите,какой пробег?
How would u get a wiring harness for that but I need one for a 2x2 not a 4x4
2x2 XD it’s 2x4 lad that would be an all wheel drive motorbike

I flipped mine 30 to 40 times down a huge pipeline and I still ride it its vfc just kinda f***ed
Just bought a new kodiak 700, any opinion on those?

Got a buddy with one, he loves it, it’s fast, powerful and hasn’t gave him any trouble

What year model is this one?
2000
the only 4 wheeler better than this one is the 90s honda fourtrax 300. the fourtrax is the best 4 wheeler ever made but this is so close to it
"All indicators work"
Turns on key.......no park light
I think it is because he wasn’t shifted into park
@@usarmy500 they dont start unless in park unless modified
I formative
Best Utility quad
Sport quads are better
My family has one of these with a 400EX pipe welded on so it’s really loud and performs better
It’s better than the grizzly
No it's not better than a grizzly because it is loud kid.
@@lucasfromdavalley that’s not the only reason lol
I mean look at them
The corners look sharper
The grizzly was made to look smoother on the plastics and I don’t regally like that
