Not meant to be driven upside down. Dear ATVC: I have a 2016 Yamaha Kodiak 700 that I rolled, busting the top head light. Now the two front headlights aren’t working and neither is the winch.

Bought this one from my friend for 100 bucks with the understanding that it just needs a new battery and the fuel drained because it hasn’t run in 5 years. Need help with parts if any are missing.

Want to do things right. Dear ATVC: I have a 2002 Yamaha 350 Wolverine and I can’t seem to find a Haynes or Clymer repair manual for the Wolverine.
