Always a good feeling sitting back, getting a snack. And watching my nightly mud puppy video

I have a 03 Kodiak 450 4x4 auto and I did similar to what u did except the air intake I couldn't find a 90° rubber elbow small enough to make that curve. I have a hmf exhaust with a jet kit and hauls ass lol I beat a brand new Polaris 450 auto lol

Thanks needed this

I was waiting on this I’ve been looking at the exact same bike. I’ve always been a Kawasaki guy for my quads and Honda for everything else but The small bore grizzlies and kodiaks seem to be a good option. Locker, irs, parts are still abundant and they are getting cheap.

Also 2010+ obs 420 front shocks would be nice

Put you some Grease around that air breather box and that should fix it from any water getting in it that's what I've always done

Wish the new yamahas had the threaded oil dipsticks like the older ones did

will this work on a 1998 kodiak 400

Will it work on a kodiak 350

Off topic but will 14-7 wide rims fit 28-10-14 mud tires

Would you ever get an electric quad bike? would that be easier for converting to baby sherp

Highly unlikely maybe if gasoline was completely outlawed and they instilled charging stations at all the off-road Parks LOL

Would a stiffer secondary spring setup with the shim mod not also be better vs just the shim? I didn’t think a shim mod alone was as common. You could also consider slugs, I hate them personally but with a big tire setup it might be better… food for thought

I'm going to test out a 1.2 mm shim and the softest secondary spring Epi makes just to do the science but it's not going to account for the fact that this thing is geared 67% higher in Reverse than low range LOL

@@MudPuppyOffroad yeah I use to run the 1.2mm shim and purple epi, was a great balanced setup for moderate tires… limits speed until you get a machined sheave. Highly recommend a machined sheave! Great to see some more Yamaha content - sink er deep!

I selfishly want you to do a Viking 700 next... :o)

Is a Kodiak geared lower than a grizzly in the differential gears?

How do the gear ratios on the Kodiak 700 compare?

@MudPuppyOffroad

Жыл бұрын

The grizzly and Kodiak 700 have the same ratio and are geared about 30% higher in low range which is why I will not buy one

Where did you purchase those wheels? Looks like they fitted up pretty good.

If your belt is slipping after you installed shims your belt is worn out, 1000's of people shim or machine the sheaves without issue. It's the must do mod for bigger tires because it's dirt cheap and works great. I've done it to a few king quads and none of them have ever slipped a belt afterwards. Your theory about the smaller contact area on the belt is right but it is a non issue with a good belt.
