I was at the dealer the other day and he was saying that kodiak 450 shakes alot. I'm assuming that he was talking about idle. Is there any truth to this?
He also said that the Kodiak 450 doesnt have alot of power. I think that he wasn't goning to make as much comission on the Kodiak as soom of the other bikes buy the way he was talking me out of this machine.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Any feedback appreciated...

 

Well I think it has plenty of power. Really impressed me when I drop off into a deep reven with only my rear tires sticking out over the edge I just dropped off. I figured I would have to use my wench to pull out cuz there way no way this think was going to back out. Well I put it in 4 wheel drive and then reverse. Gave it some gas and this thing just climbed back out..No slipping of the belt or anything. That really impressed me. I had it up to 51MPH on the road to see what it could do. Very fun 4wheeler and small enough I can go around trees and stuff on the trails alot easier than can a couple of my buddies on full size units. About the shake..The engine does have some vibration you can feel but nothing to ecessive.I think most of the yamahas do this. Just the way they mount the engine to the frame. Thats just the way they are. It doesn't bother me any. It would be a very wise purchase and I say go for it!

 

There is some vibration that comes up through the floorboards but after a ride or two you don't even notice it. At least I had forgotten about it. Pulls good through out the entire power band. Great atv!
