Picked up my 04 kodiak 450

Congrats on the new quad. First things first, break it in PROPERLY. Also get rid of the stock tires, they are junk. Replace them with bearclaws, mudlites but nothing over 26' tall. I know a guy who has the same machine as me and he said with 27' mudlites on it the tires wouldn't turn in the mud even in low and after he had a clutch kit installed.
If this is your first quad, take it easy on the machine and yourself.

You got a great quad. Some say they are a bit tipsy if your going sideways on hills. Aftermarket tires alone help this tremdously. Be sure you do this:
Check your transmission snorkle tubes where they connect at the transmission. They are notoriously loose from the factory. Thats about all I can think of.

Congrats on the new toy!
Looks like everyone here has you covered with the most important items:
after market offset rims - increases stability
after market tires, but don't go over 26" in diamter - increases stability; stock ones are horrible
check the tranny snorkle connections - they are notoriously loose from the factory
Break it in properly
On top of that, be safe, and enjoy a fine quad.
