Im wondering the same thing ?? Also wondering about tweeking the throttle screw to get more full throttle if infact its not opening up all the way kinda sounds like they keep it screwed out from the factory?? but dont want to screw anything up id think about all a guy can do is make it breath a little better?

The only thing I can see anyone doing to a kodiak would be maybe a filter, jetting and possibly a big bore kit..

Dont they use some warrior parts? If not you could have a cam made for you then add exhaust/filter and youd be rolliin along pretty good.

There are plenty of mods out there depending on what you are looking to do or what you want to spend. And not sure what warrior parts will work to my knowledge and research none of them will. Twin air makes a replacement filter. Dyno jet makes a jet kit for it and hmf makes a slip on exahaust for it. Now as far as a big bore kit no one makes one for it right now and most likely they want start making them. I have talked to most of the larger shops and they say the demand isnt that good to spend the money to make one. I ended up doing a stroker kit on mine if you are interested in where to get the stuff email me at reenoip69@aol.com. U can read my sig and see some of the mods that i have now on mine and still more i havent listed yet.

I HAVE INSTALLED THE DYNO JET KIT AND TWIN AIR FILTER. IT PULLS MUCH HARDER NOW AT LOW SPEED. I GUESS A PIPE OR CLUTCH KIT WOULD BE NEXT.
