2005 Yamaha kodiak 400 4x4 test ride

[@Fctsdntcarebouturfeelings]

My 03 450 will hit 45mph and I'm 265lbs. Looking to buy the 05 400 too. Used to own and still trust Honda but I'm 100% Yamaha now. Thanks for review!

[@FullsendOffroad]

I found you on Tik tok and immediatley subbed here. I love driving quads too! I have a 2005 KingQuad 700.

[@rockspowersports]

Nice! I have a project kingquad 750 that I’ve been looking for a engine for. Once I get one I’ll post a test ride on it!

[@FullsendOffroad]

@@rockspowersports put a diesel engine in it that thing would be crazy.

[@FullsendOffroad]

@@rockspowersports i mean, you already have a Polaris diesel, but yeah my kingquad was a project with the engine rebuilt

[@rockspowersports]

@Fullsend Offroad Yeah that would be pretty cool! But I’ll just keep the Suzuki a 750 it’ll be faster that way lol

[@FullsendOffroad]

@@rockspowersports yeah i love 750s too

[@shawncordeiro]

did you know wolverine/kodiak/grizzly 450 are actually 421cc great channel just discovered it the seller was top speed gps unbiased

[@rockspowersports]

Yes I did know that. There really isn’t a whole lol of different between the 400(401cc) and the 450 (421cc)

I have the same bike! Ain't the best at anything but it usually gets the job done.

[@winstonpoplin]

Beautiful country to ride in.

[@rockspowersports]

Thanks! It’s a nice area.

[@ericwyman-cp5ke]

Awesome video

[@rockspowersports]

Thanks!

[@JayN4GO]

Got one of these brand new. Something squeaks in the rear left side. Almost like a brake is sticking. Never did repair it. I need to break it out of the barn and run it

[@hammertimebc1934]

I have the same machine couple years older, it has 12,000 miles on it. Not a single issue so far.

[@rockspowersports]

Those Kodiak 400’s are sure tough machines.

[@BITSANDBYTES927]

Same here i can't kill mine

[@AMF96]

We just got a new 2022 Kodiak 450 at work to plow snow with. Nice machine but was wondering on how to engage the diff lock? I have an 02 Grizzly 660 so I’m familiar with how to engage the diff lock with Yamaha’s older system but this new Kodiak is different.. still has the red push button for regular 4WD but no slide over to the yellow button for diff lock.. I know not all Kodiak’s come with the diff lock but this one says diff lock right on it so it has it, just not sure how to engage it..

[@rockspowersports]

@AMF96 To be honest I don’t really have any experience with the new Yamaha’s just the older type like you grizzly 660. Do you have access to the owners manual? It should tell you in there.

[@AMF96]

@@rockspowersports I’ll have to ask my boss if we have the owners manual for it. If not perhaps I can find more information online. But anyways, thanks for the reply man! Always enjoy your videos! Hope the restoration project on your old Grizzly 700 is going well!

[@rockspowersports]

@@AMF96 Yeah my friend has a new kodiak 700 but his is the base model and does have the diff lock. It’s got the manual cable lever for the 4x4. I’ll be honest I haven’t touched the grizzly yet.. I’m still planning to have it done before spring though, so I can ride it!

[@AMF96]

@@rockspowersports Not sure I’ve seen a model with a manual cable for the 4WD but I guess that would just be on the base model. Good luck with the Grizzly! Hope your able to find all the parts and everything you may need for it. Looking forward to seeing some videos of it in the future!

[@denniss3980]

Great review, I am looking at one for 2800, dealers still have very little new inventory so the good clean used ones go fast, this looks like it should meet my needs , thanks

[@rockspowersports]

@Dennis S Glad the video helped you. These Yamaha kodiak are very reliable atvs.

[@MBTUE]

Nice little machine.

[@ethanonorato]

Heck yeah I lit up when I Heard Island pond Vermont. Southern Vermonter here but the girlfriend has a place on 114 just outside island pond. Just picked up the same wheeler

[@rockspowersports]

@Vermont Hardcore snowmobiling Nice, love these Yamahas! Any snowmobiling down there yet? Trails haven’t opened at all up here this year.

[@til1645]

Just purchased an '04 for d my girlfriend. What a mountain goat this thing is. Gave $2400 for it. Btw, where is that trail you were riding on? Looks awesome!

[@rockspowersports]

Nice, these kodiaks are very stable and great for climbing. And these are trails in my property, it’s in northeast Vermont

[@ioangrozav2548]

Hi I got one yamaha grizzly 350 cc please how many oil sensors have pls one or tow sensor? Thanks

[@hodgebone1]

just got a free one! has no spark. yet to figure out the year but think a 2000

[@rockspowersports]

@Josh Hodgdon You can’t ever go wrong with free! If you check you vin # the 10th digit from the left will be your year. If it’s a 2000 it will be 0 if it’s a 2001 it will be a 1 and so on. If it’s a 99 or older it will be a letter

[@hodgebone1]

@@rockspowersports where is the vin! cant find the sticker lol

[@rockspowersports]

@Josh Hodgdon It won’t be a sticker, it will be stamped on the Frame. It’s hard to see if you don’t know where your looking. On these Yamahas if your sitting on the wheeler it will be on the left hand side, it’s stamped on the lower portion of the frame between your engine and the front A-arm.

[@dave434]

I am looking to buy an 06 one owner well maintained looks really good for 3500. original tires , still a fair amount of tread left on them... Over all You liked the 400?

[@rockspowersports]

The kodiaks are very good machines. The only down fall to this one was the lack of low range. It can still do pretty much anything you need it to, however it would be nice if they did.

[@714Brito131]

How much you buy it for? some guy wants $3000 for a 2005 Yamaha Kodiak 400 4x4?

[@rockspowersports]

Different areas have different market prices.. I got this one for $1600

[@Dat05kodaik]

I payed 3200 for mine.

[@Fctsdntcarebouturfeelings]

​@@rockspowersportsthat's amazing. I'd definitely pay that!

[@ЛешаМарков-х9б]

Здравствуйте, сколько пробег?

[@markbuck9299]

I almost bought one in 2000 !! But then they came out with the grizzly 660

[@StarknightMT_official]

it was handsome guy，I love it

[@tj1lincoln182]

Nice I have a 450 with diff lock

[@rockspowersports]

The 400’s and great machines but the 450’s are even better!

[@tj1lincoln182]

@@rockspowersports i got I free of a man I knew who passed due to Covid he barley rode it if he did ride it he rode out into the pasture and maybe yo the road and back but it set out for so long everything had to he replaced so It should be out soon and I’ll be able to ride and make a video on it

[@Fctsdntcarebouturfeelings]

​@@tj1lincoln182what year? Bought my wife an 03 and it's the best machine I've ever owned. Even better than newer 4 wheelers I've owned. It has the pull start too, in case your battery goes dead. I'm 6ft, 265 lbs, so not a small man. Dude, it takes me anywhere I want to go. I can't double anyone obviously but it would do good with 2 small people 😂.

[@Dat05kodaik]

The person that had this before must of changed the speedometer because mine has park,reverse, neutral,high,low and the speedometer is a big dash that has a lot of things to do but unless that’s not actually a 2005 because mine is

[@rockspowersports]

@Nathan Taylor. This one is a 2005 kodiak 400. If yours is a kodiak 400 and has a low range it must be a 04 or older. The 2005 450’s kept the low range so maybe that’s what yours is?
