please any infomation will help i just got it and boggs out just in reverse when its warmed up to

 

Its called a reverse limiter. It limits the reverse speed.

 

how can i change it is it hard to do?

 

I've seen some reverse rev limiter eliminator kits on ebay for the Kodiak. I'd check there.

 

i don't think it should be doing it i go to it the gas a little hard and it just boggs out but does not die out

 

Ok, do a test. you should be able to back up without it bogging. What should happen is this. As you get faster and faster in reverse your engine will rev up. At some point ( i think between 5 and 10 mph), the engine should start stuttering and skipping. If this is what you call bogging, this is normal. It is the rev limiter kicking in to protect you from yourself and Yamaha from lawsuits. Here is the fix.

If you take the left side panel off of the Kodiak you will see some wiring harnesses. One of those is a three wire harness that has one wire that is green with a white stripe. This green/white wire is the reverse limiter and reverse light wire.

To disengage the reverse rev limiter you need to ground this wire. The best way to do this is to splice a wire into this wire and run it to a toggle switch and hook the other side of the toggle switch to a wire that is grounded to the frame. The reason to run it to a switch is two fold. First, grounding the wire will stop the reverse light from working. Second, in most situations, you dont need full power in reverse and someone inexperieced might be on your quad and get hurt.

 

ok listen when the engine is warmed up just can smack the gas and it takes off but if u smack the gas in reverse it boggs is that normal

 

so from a dead stop you are going to wide open throttle in reverse and it bogs?

 

like i don't smack the gas hard like i do in drive but when i smack it half way it boggs!?

 

Well, tomorrow I will get mine out and see what it does and report back.. But that doesnt sound normal....
