Thanks for the links! Just ordered up an all black HMF slip on with black end cap to fit our 450 👍🏻

[@gorillahd9247]

Thanks bro!! 💪💪

[@ThomperBeThompin]

Sweet rig man. I like the mud lites

[@chad4591]

Thanks man

[@motododo4626]

You got some good values but glad to see the support. But just so ya know tight trails run her in low so you don't burn the clutch or belt. Great video bud

[@VWAlexo]

Hey great video! I’m waiting on the delivery of my Kodiak 450 EPS SE 2022 and I really like your HMF exhaust and LED taillight. Can you tell me where you got your taillight from?

[@chad4591]

I just got it off Amazon, there should be a link in the description to the exact one, it was about $30

[@ryanfortin9166]

Congrats Alex. I just picked up my Kodiak 450 EPS SE like a week ago. Haven't rode it yet really cause it's winter here but I had an 02 kodiak 400 I bought new also. Not sure if you've ridden one with power steering but I absolutely love the power steering on the 22. My right arms paralyzed but my thumb works for the throttle. I had np without it but it's definitely a bonus for me. Enjoy your new bike

[@jhors7777]

Thank you for posting this helpful video

[@EkonRekon]

I like your wheels!

[@gentrykicklighter3427]

Nice I also have one but you know they make smoked American flag taillights

[@RydinginStyle72]

Does that rub in the front when you turn the wheels all the way on bumps? Nice ride!

[@shannoncairns1161]

sweet i subbed

[@RydinginStyle72]

What is the wheel offset? Love the deep lip rims!

[@markalan4026]

Assuming you added a fuel programmer with the exhaust, right?.. I didn't hear any popping or backfires on deceleration, so I'm guessing you did. Anyways, just curious how much of a power/throttle response increase you obtained with the exhaust and programmer? Is it a very noticeable difference?

[@chad4591]

It is a noticeable increase for sure

[@failingdisciple938]

Nice rig 👊

[@brianrichard1768]

u should do 450 / 700 shootout

[@nodaklojack]

I am interested in what atv is the sprayer mounted on? Is it a 25 gallon tank? Does it carry the weight ok?

[@phyx5395]

hey bud quick question. wouldnt you have to tune the engine with the exhaust? thats what i was told. i would love an exhaust on mine but dont want to have to worry about the tune.

[@chad4591]

It is recommended, I don’t on mine now, but I’m planning on it in the near future.

[@EdwinOrellana-cl9im]

Cual es la veloxida maxima de la moto

[@masonmontroy1952]

How did u jack up ur shocks?

[@RydinginStyle72]

2+5 looks like?

[@legowolf22]

Whats your offset on tge rims 2 + 5 or 4 + 3?

[@shanedawson3706]

We’re did you get it from I can’t find them

[@chad4591]

I got mine from sindt motor sports in Dubuque Iowa

[@juliosdiy3206]

Did i missed how much u paid for it?

[@chad4591]

$6,500

[@susdad]

450 doesn’t have the power to push through mud for real. Get a 700.

[@chad4591]

It’s got plenty, I’ve rode 700s to and there’s not a huge difference except for top speed

[@susdad]

@@chad4591 sure , just a matter of opinion. I have the 450 and my buddy has 2, 700’s. Grizzly and kodiak. The 700’s definitely have more nuts down low and up top. Only place the 450 and 700 compete is mid range speed in the trail and tow strength.

[@susdad]

@@chad4591 I see it all the time, people buy a toy and turn it into a bigger toy that already exists, the 700. But you spend more money making the small toy a big toy.

[@jessepoorman2621]

@@susdad they go through the mud just fine.

[@escapingthegrind7000]

I own a 700 and the 450, to be honest I should have saved the money and just bought 2 450s

[@midwestatvoutdoors8655]

Nice setup. Might I suggest for a future mod, the kodiak 450 overfenders. You can get them on shopyamaha.com. I put them on my 2020 450 and it's a gamechanger in terms of mud flinging and I'm still on the stock tires. With your oversized tires it should help tremendously. And since they are a genuine Yamaha part they look fantastic and honestly should have come stock.

[@chad4591]

I have looked into those, I’m still thinking about it, thanks for the suggestion
