Looks good. Nothing like that first ride on a new quad.

 

this video was my second ride [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] the hill i was going down/up was quite steep as you can see by the angle of the trees. it also had cool step-like dropoffs that were a sonova gun to get back up but i made it

 

Way back when I had an 85 Nissan 4x4 pickup. I got back in the woods on a gas line access road. I turned around to go back and I was faced with a 30 degree slope of ice that had small stairsteps. I got up it without too much of a problem. Whether quads or trucks, I love 4wd.

 

yes indeed... me coming off of an 85 Honda Fourtrax 2WD 250cc , this new Kodiak is a miracle machine [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
The 250 2WD would still be stuck at the bottom of that hill.
PS. i just noticed my youtube vid has a button in the bottom corner of the window to watch in HD, because it was filmed in HD.
The HD vid looks 1000x better.

 

Hey Goozyman I see you've been out on your new Kodiac. Its a pretty sweet ride compared to the old 250 huh!

I have a 190KM's on mine so far with no issues.

I wish now I would have up graded years ago.

 

190 KM already???!?!?! i have 12 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
its too much fun man

 

They called it a 350 Kodiak and a Grizzly also? We ride with a Bruin 350 4x4(Canadian model)), I knew they added a IRS version but I did not know they have dff lock now also,you will like those two features over the previous 350 Bruin/Grizzlies/Kodiak for sure.

 

My 06 bruin 350 was a great fun quad

12km?? What!!!

I think the first day I got it we put on 50Kms that night in the dark!

I would have another 200K on but..... no time to ride, weather was really cold and busy with kids sports!! I just bought a moose hand/thumb warmer kit I have to install.

Sure do like the nice ride these new IRS quads have.
