I like my Wolv, but the Kodiak is a great bike,too. Congrats on your purchase.

 

I have a 03 wolverine & like it alot. Sometimes I wish it had more low end
pulling power for the mud but it will do fine for now. I just added a White B. R4 exaust, pro design filter kit, and torque stuffer. Anyone know where I can get the Powroll air box lid and what would be a good set of tires to give me some more ground clearance for riding in the mud & trails??

 

The lid is available from Powroll, James Lucky, and others. I bought mine from Moto-man, they had the best price.

Keep in mind, taller tires will hurt your low end.

 

I bought the kodiak 450, new for 03, It is a great work machine and very sporty. I have ridden the wolverine and like it too but couldn't pass up the diff lick and all the other new features, not much different in price either. My kodiak outruns the honda rubicon and blows away the 450 forman.

 

Close to the same MSRP. 1 is a 350cc and the other is a 400cc. 1 can be taken out of 4 wheel drive which makes it more playfull, the other you can not.

My choice would be the Kodiak ; )

 

Congrads on the Kodiak. You made a good choice. Its a very user friendly atv and you will have hours of fun on it.

 

I love it so far. I put a few hours on it yesterday, I really like the auto transmission.

 

Very nice! BTW, which dealer did you buy from? The one you rode at or the other one?

 

There are three dealers within 30 miles of where I live. The dealer I bought it from wasn't either of the two I mentioned earlier. I negotiated a price at the dealer I drove the two bikes at and basically got them down to $5499 out the door plus $69 for a blade through Yamaha's promotion. I called a third dealer, and asked them if they could match the $5499 and throw the blade in for free. They said they could do it so I went with that dealer and got the bike and plow out the door for $5499. I figured that was probably a reasonable price. They had much better service there anyway so I was happy to buy from them.
