hello everyone. i am new the atv seen as this is my first atv that i have owned. it is a 95 kodiak 400 4x4 with 1900 miles on it. it seems to run good and no problems as of yet just want to get some others opion on this atv and what i should look out for.

 

 

is your valve train noisey on your, or should i be looking into doing a valve job on this machine. just put a sparky spark aresstor on it and it seems to be running good just little noisey.

 

I dont hear anything on mine. Although on my 2003 yamaha warrior 350 I do.

 

I have a 95 kodiak and i absolutely love mine. ive had it almost handle bars deep in water and mud and never had an issue with it. runs great. just had to rebuild the master cylinder cause it went out. but hey, i guess 15 years on the original parts is good. heck, im still on my oroginal tires.

 

I did have a problem with my 98 kodiak in 2 feet of snow last night. I had to walk to my house get a shovel, go back and dig it out. Then when I was trying to put it away It got stuck again. luckly the second time I had my shovel with me.

 

Here are some pics of my kodiak stuck in deep snow.

 

i have had mine out in about a foot of snow and it just plowed right thru it.i just got this quad so i have been out doing little work here and there to it just noticed that there is not brake light just tail lamps on this. whats up with that.

 

well over the weekend. i went thru and cleaned the carb out. went to do a simple oil change and found out they guy before me rounded off the drain plug. that was fun but was able to get it out. looks like the guy hasnt done a oil change in a couple years. oil had gas in it and some metal shavings that im not to fond of. i guess i'll be doing another oil change here in a couple of weeks and pray for no more metal shavings. other than that the quad is up and running great.
