What kind of mileage can I expect to get out of a Kodiak 400 or 450? I was curious how far I could go in a day between gas stops. Thanks

 

75-90 MI-PER-TANK SAYS A FRIEND OF MINE HAS A 01 4X4 400 MODED WITH PIPE,JET KIT,K&N FILTER IN ET/WNC AREA.

 

Myself I'm able to get 140kms before switching to reserve.

 

How did you get that carbon/black yamaha the only colors i've seen are camo,red,tan,green and blue/canada only?

 

The Black is pretty easy to get around here. Went to my dealer and it was on the floor waiting for me. As a matter of fact the last time I was into the local dealer there was an 03 (Black) on the floor. I'm not sure if it still there or not.

 

The black ones are easy to get, they look cool, and have a gel like seat, very nice!

 

Kodiak 400 In your pic I notice there was an extension of the running board. If so is this a mod you did or is a after market item?

I'm not sure, but i have seen something like that on a lot of grizz600's around here.

 

Very observant. It actually a genuine Yamaha accessory. It is incredible how much mud these things stop. Before the mud would fly from the front tire and spray mud and water on the rear fender in turn dirtying the back of your leg. This weekend I'm going to raise the pegs. The reason for this is because right now they are packed full of snow and ice make the floorboards very slippery.

I'm not sure if you want to see what the floorboard extenders look like of the bike but here's the link.

Look under "accessories".

 

Thanks 400 I will look these up on the canadian web site of Yamaha. It takes theUS side to get these neat features included.

Thanks again for the response!
