Default New Kodiak Q.

Just got a new Kodiak 400...

Have a few questions....

First it seems to vibrate at about 10 mph to 20 MPH.... is this common, maybe it is, but it seems more noticeable with this one vrs other quads...

The 5-6th time I went to start it, it started fine with choke on (its very cold here)..
I backed up to get out of garage, it stalled.
I went to start it back up ONCE... didnt crank on it, Went to start it again and it made a
buzzing noise , not a click and dead like I would expect from a Dead battery, but a
very loud buzz, everytime I hit the starter it would make that buzz, it sounded like it was comming from under the seat, so I assume the battery...
I had to pull start it, and it started fine...
andy ideas....
Thanks everyone.
Deb

I think they all vibrate until you get going, it kinda annoys me, I try to either go slower or faster. The battery will buzz if its not charged up all the way or if the connection is loose. Sometimes it will start if you push the starter a few times, just make sure its charged up. Batteries lose a lot of power in the cold.

Vibes are normal, did you let it warm up much before you moved. not only does the engine need to warm up but the drive system too... and the buzz, check for a loose connection on the solenoid and the battery... Had a loose connection on the battery of my kodiak, and at about 1000miles on the grizz a loose solenoid connection. Just little things that happen....

Here's another vote for checking your connections. Check the + & - battery teminals 1st. That was also an issue w/ mine.
