    Great content as always! My 2018 Kodiak 700 EPS is my first quad I’ve ever owned. I just rolled over 2000 KM and I have only done brakes once. Absolutely nothing else. I’ve got the same lift as you and 28 inch tires. If I had to buy another quad I’d get an outlander 1000. As you mentioned the top end is weak on the kodiaks and the smaller stature of the bike is an asset but also a weakness. I’m 6’3 and I do find this machine a bit small but that’s on me for not testing more bikes out before I bought it. That being said this ATV won’t leave our family. We will just add a second one or a side by side. Yamaha reliability and low end grunt makes this thing an absolute beauty and I’m very happy with it.

I’ve seen some sell for 15-20,000 kms on em and still have all the original diffs,tranny and motor. I’ve ridden them hard and I can’t seem to break anything on them lol

    I'm a huge fan of the Kodiak. I bought and built mine because of the differences between it and the Grizzly. I've done EHS and EPI upgrades. I into more of the technical trails and hills. I ride with mostly Grizzlies. I love the videos and if you guys ever make it to Oklahoma I could show you some nice trails and scenery to challenge even Kyle's Can Am.

    Well I’m 6’4” and 280lbs. You might say that I’m at the upper end of the stature qualifications. Lol. I love my 2018 Kodiak. It’s a twin to Cass’s machine but I have different brands of accessories but it pretty much looks the same. I love it because when I’m hinting and driving into the woods a couple miles I can get into deeper and tighter areas then a person with a machine like Kyle’s. I like how it handles and performs. Nothing bad to say about other machines it is just my preference to have a smaller body quad. And yes I’ve put it through some nasty stuff and it has no problems. But this is just my two cents of input.

I put on a set of Jwheelz to help from sinking in, but it still gets stuck often. My next machine will most likely be an Outlander 650 6x6

    The thing I like of the kodiak 700. Everything. The suspension for me is amazing, the power output is just right for me. It handles very smoothly. I have a kodiak 700 myself (my profile picture). The only thing I dislike is how the battery is hooked up on the front. Yes it’s higher so water don’t get in it. But removing that one pice of plastic is so annoying. Espicslly putting it back on. But that said. It’s a Yamaha and I’m with Yamaha 100% every time. And I know that going in deeper stuff the kodiak seems like a lil non power in it. But I gone mudding with it and I love watching the mud fly up and if someone is behind me they’re full of it. But great video and hopefully when this corona shit is done I’ll hopefully see your mudding videos pop up again

    Kodiak 700 EPS is a beast...it's reliable, powerful, easy to ride. For the low budget guy (or gal) you just need to take off sway bar (if you mainly ride technical trails), put on some nice 26" tires (I used Bearclaw K299's) on the Yamaha aluminum wheels and add 1" wheel spacers all around.... only cost me 300 bucks for the tires and 65 bucks for the spacers. You can't beat that and you'll have a great trail riding machine that can go just about anywhere. If you want to go a step further...I also added Highlifter Springs (to help handle a plow), heated handgrips and thumb, handguards, Tiny Tach, snowmobile bar ends, reverse light (for plowing), winch (of course)...and my favorite thing: EHS tuner!! Everything else is stock.... I LOVE THIS QUAD!!!! It's so cool to see both you guys riding together and when Cass gets compliments on her Yamaha when all the other machines around are huge and probably cost twice as much, I get a HUGE smile across my face. The Kodiak 700 EPS is a bargain for any rider...Big or Small. Thanks for all the great info and entertainment that you both provide. Happy Trails! :)

    @@MainvilleATV Thanks....I've been riding for 35 years and have owned MANY different quads...my wife and have have been riding together for 20. We also have 2 Yamaha Grizzly 450 EPS machines that we use when we ride together. They are great...small and nimble and fit on our enclosed snowmobile trailer. The Kodiak is my utility machine that I use for everything else (plowing, snowmobile club trail clearing, hunting, etc..). The Kodiak has made me a very happy camper! I actually bought it after seeing one of your videos and because you go anywhere with it! It's priced right and has everything I'll ever need. I'm 6 feet and 210 and the size is perfect. I always laugh when I hear about people say that a certain quad isn't BIG enough :) I come from the atv riding days when they claimed that the Honda Foreman 400 was the biggest atv out there!!! LOL Thanks for the reply and great videos...truly enjoyable. Love our Yamahas!!!

    Biggest mechanical difference between the 2 Yamaha's is the grizzly has all wheel disk brakes the Kodak has a wet drum break witch I believe Yamaha say has a life time warranty in the shoes and drum. Also I believe you can only get the locking front diff in the SE model of the Kodak and its standard on all trim of the grizzly

    I'm considering a Griz for myself and a Kodiak for my wife. Tires will come first. My question is this...For at least the first few months do you think stock machines would serve us well? Mostly hard pack trails and some mud will be our terrain. I will replace the stock tires immediately. I know factory tires leave allot to be desired.

    Enjoyed your video! I'm in Kelowna BC. None of the Yamaha dealers in the Okanagan have an ATV in their stores. The dealer in Vernon had an Altera 90 😂. If you want an ATV, you have to put a deposit down and wait. It's been that way since Covid-19 started. Most of the dealers in town are the same. They might have one in showroom but it has sold sign on it. I don't know if it's the same in Ontario or not, but it's kind of difficult to sit on different models to see how the ergonomics feel when they don't have any in showroom.
