About to buy a Kodiak, would like to know any trouble you have had besides the belt slipping,also where did you buy, and the price you gave

 

None so far and the belt on my Kodiak hasnt slipped a bit and been in some pretty deep water. My quad was $5800 My last ride was a Honda and Im completely satisfied with the Yamaha after first being a little bit Too "red" loyal.

 

I also have had Zero problems, except not having the time to ride, onlt 8 hours on it! I paid 5900$ with a winch, that is alittle high I know, but I live in Fairbanks, Alaska and use to the extra cost! Happy Ridn'.

 

None as of 45 hours. I ride in 800 to 1400 feet above sea level and have went from the Factory Main 132.5 main jet to a 140.0 and still a little lean. But she pulls harder on long up hills. Waiting for K&N to make a filter before doing anything else.

 

No problems so far. Got it for $5800. Ran Polaris machines before this one came along. Has Polaris's good qualities plus Yamaha reliability and quality.

 

The only problem I had was a loose 4x4 indicator light sensor. All better now.

 

I have about 5 hours on mine and no problems except giving the Polaris riders a run for there money. I built a skid plate for the rear swing arm boot area. Simple procedure if you have a arc welder. Other than that...runs perfect...I really like it.

I've had mine about 4 months and put it through a lot,80 to 90 hours.I did have the belt slip one time because I hit a deep creek crossing at high speed and rolled water back over the hood and handle bars,however this problem is easily solved by two drain plugs and your back on the way.To be honest I've always been a Honda fan and just bought a new 450es which I'm going to put through the wringer next weekend,but my Kodiak is a lot faster and so far trouble free..I LOVE IT...

I've had mine for about 3 months and no problems except needed a new headlight bulb. No belt slip thus far through some deep mud. I paid over $6k for mine, looks like I got juked.
