1.How is the handling?

2.Are they reliable?

3.Whats the stock top speed?

4. what mods gave the best bang for you buck?

5.Does any one know or have any good kodiaks?

6.Do they powerslide good?websites or photo pages?

7. Are they a good mudder w/ some tires and performance mods.?

 

1. Excellent
2. Very
3. 53-56
4. Snorkel front and rear tranny breather tubes.
5. I have one check my photos and take a look.
6. No photos of power slide but they are great.
7. They are an excellent mudder. With good tires.

Only problems I have had out of mine is the water pump went out. Thats it. It is a great ATV. Would buy another for the wife if she gets a job.

 

What would be a good price for a 2000 kodiak,(warn 2000 winch hot grips thumb warmer). It is in excellent condition, and only around 500 miles.

 

1.Easily the lightest steering 4wd in it's class. Even easier in 2wd.
2.Yup
3.Had mine to 54mph on level pavement.
4.I added a Yamaha speedo/odo on mine. 2000 models don't have one. Only thing else is a K&N air filter which added a small acceleration gain.
5.Mine.
6.It powerslides some in 2wd. Buy a sport atv if you like to powerslide.
7.Ok in the mud. Stock tires could be better but that's easy to replace. There are a few mud pictures on my photo site. I'm still using stock tires.

 

1. They handle GREAT. The Kodiak is a very nimble machine. Click on the link below for some pics on how the quad handles.

2. Reliable?...I abuse the heck out of it and haven't been left stranded yet.

3. about 55mph, give or take a few.

4. Mods: best bang for my buck so far would be a snorkel for the carb and mud tires.

5. I have a good Kodiak, and I'm keeping it.

6. Again, check out the pics below. You'll see a power slide or two.


7. They are a good mudder once you put on some aggressive tires. I went with some 26" Mudrunners. That doesn't make it the best mudder in the world. I certainly could of went with larger tires. But I didn't want to turn my quad into strictly a mudder.
