I HAVE A '00 KODIAK 4x4..I SOLD MY GRIZ, BECAUSE AFTER ONE RIDE, THE BIGGEST IMPRESSION THE KODIAK GAVE ME WAS THE SMOOTH RIDE..I'M LEAVING THE STOCK TIRES ON THE KODIAK UNTIL WE GET SOME RAIN..WE USUALLY HAVE LOTS OF MUD EVERYWHERE IN SOUTH LOUISIANA, BUT THIS DROUGHT HAS GOT EVERYTHING LOOKING LIKE NEVADA! IT IS VERY SPORTY AND I EVEN RACED IT AT LORETTA LYNN'S GNCC X-COUNTRY RACE IN APRIL..I'M 45 AND I FIGURED I'D LAST THE ENTIRE RACE ON THE KODIAK INSTEAD OF MY '88 250R..IT WAS A GOOD PERFORMER EXCEPT IN OFF-CAMBER RUTS (DUG OUT BY THE WIDER AND FASTER ACCELERATING 250R's)..JUST A LITTLE NARROW BUT VERY SWEET HANDLING..THE "ON COMMAND 2WD/4WD" FEATURE IS SWEET, AND I REALLY LIKE IT IN 2WD, MORE THAN I DID MY GRIZ..IT SLIDES REALLY GOOD..I GUESS THAT IS WHY IT WAS NAMED "ATV OF THE YEAR" BY ATV MAGAZINE!! YOU COULD DO WORSE THAN A KODIAK..THE HIGH LIFTER LOCKER KIT IS AN OPTION, BUT IT IS "FULL-TIME"!
