Has anyone had any problem with the Kodiak bogging and being unable to turn the tires in reverse? I was in Mud the other day and although it spun the tires in reverse it took alot of throttle to get them going, its obviously geared very tall in reverse, even taller than high range it feels. I was wanting to put mud tires on it, but after this with just the stockers, im second guessing my decision, maybe I should put smaller ones on and cut my losses.. Anyone else notice this?

I've buried my 2001 Kodiak to the point of having to be pulled out by another quad. It was really thick mud and it didn't have trouble turning the tires over. Now that I am thinking about it, I probably put it into low range.

 

I know, I didnt have any problem at all in the forward gears, its just the gear ratio in reverse that seems to be the problem.
