glad it was of some help... PS: don't look for a drain plug on the rad lol... i spent half hour trying ta find it before looking it up... gotta drain from the pump and fill tank

[@InTheWoodsWithWolfie]

or just disconnect the hose at the rad

[@davidbennett5040]

Ok 👍 appreciate everything!just picked up this yesterday am used to Polaris atvs this is first Yamaha atv but with 547 miles on the clock it should last a long time even for being a 2003

So the inner "filter" as you call it is just a frame so the actual foam filter doesn't collapse on itself under "suction" from the engine at high rpms. You also need to oil the air filter, can't run it dry. It doesn't keep out dust without it.

[@InTheWoodsWithWolfie]

yes that is the purpose of the "inner" filter as i refered to it... and as for oiling the filter was already done right out of the package... but ty for mentioning it here as i failed to in the video

[@klappy803]

@@InTheWoodsWithWolfie I was wondering if it was already oiled, glad that it was. Just trying to help folks out, thanks for posting.

Thanks for the video. Just picked up an '04 450 so will be doing my first oil change soon. Did you ever replace the headlights with LEDs? Have been looking at replacing mine, wondering if you found some that fit

[@InTheWoodsWithWolfie]

hey Jordan... you'll love the 450 Kodi... i did do the LED headlights, just cheaper ones off amazon but they work... big improvement on lighting up the trails... sear "JL'S HOME For Honda Fourtrax TRX 300 Super White 100w Led Headlight Bulbs 1988-2000" thats the ones i used... they fit perfect but the high/low beams are reversed ... not a big issue though as long as ya remember lol

[@LongsQuest]

Dang, wish my Hondas oil filter was that easy to git to.

[@InTheWoodsWithWolfie]

no kidding eh Yamaha mad eup for it though with trying to drain the rad to put new coolant in lol... man what a PITA lmao
