As far as I'm aware, the Kodiaks have always been straight axle in the rear.

 

ATV123 is right. Kodiak was never offered with independant suspension. My first Kodiak was a 93 when they came out. From 93-99 they had the same body style with slight changes. 00-present are pretty well the same. All use the straight axle. Hopefully 05 will bring IRS. The only Indepentent Yamaha ATV ever available is the Grizzly and Rhino

 

I heard from a good source they were going to offer the IRS to the new 05 Kodiak
