have about 24 hours on it, no problems at all. i love this machine! topped it out today at 55/mph.

 

Congrats on your purchase you picked a great machine. Keep us posted on how it stands up for you. I do have a quick question though. Why not wait and get the 2005 with the IRS.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

i prefer a sportier ride with less body roll. i'm sure IRS will work well on the kodiak but it does add more weight.

 

i finally got a 450 in june also. havent had it out yet , just in the back yard , but i sure am glad i got the low range and not the 400 that has just forward. the irs was sure tempting but i got a good deal on it ( 2004 model)
