Big 7000 Junk yamaha kodiak 700 4x4

My first recorded video on my new yamaha kodiak 700

[@stumpshot9970]

That's pretty sweet. I think that's exactly what I'm looking for. I like the 4wd is a cable lock setup. Seems bombproof

[@POHLHAMMER]

Bet you are loving it ! I love my YAMAHAS. Congrats !

[@openyourcoconut4774]

Sweet bike, I'm going to check out a kodiak and grizzly 700 this weekend. I thought you were saying "junk yamaha" I was like no way that's a first haha.

[@joeellis2692]

2016-2018 Yamaha was junk. They went back to the 686cc in 2019 and worked out the problems for the most part. Plus gave a mud model with 27" tires and a gear reduction. Yamaha has lost a lot of customers over not properly upgrading the Grizzly and Viking. Right now the Grizzly is over 10k that's to steep for a single cylinder engine with less than 40hp in my book. To buy a Yamaha ATV these days you have to be a die hard fan.

@@joeellis2692 I keep hearing that they are junk. Bought my 2016 kodiak new and haven’t had any problems at all.

[@joeellis2692]

@@bobcaygeon4533 I had nothing but problems with my 2016 Grizzly. Blew the motor with 289 miles.

[@joeellis2692]

@@knightimusprime25 my Grizzly 708cc was 44hp 10% more hp and 9% more torque than the 2015 686cc. So the 686cc should be around 39.6hp.

Good job junkman!👍

[@williamsjasonw]

I feel of this back and almost drowned twice in a river one night about 3 months ago. I haven't rode a bike since that day 😕. I didn't have insurance on the bike so now I'm just making monthly payments on something I can't even ride anymore. I did help shoot a Lil baby music video with this bike though so that was really awesome !!

[@SnowCamo45]

Take it apart and figure it out big bro. You got this💯💯💯✊🏾

[@LinoPR-ds2ke]

Keep it up, and more videos

[@rickeyjohnson4491]

Nice bike man

[@williamsjasonw]

Thanks! I wish it still looked like this 😔 I beat this bike up bad!

[@jasonmorehouse3756]

You got your front and rear brakes mixed up bud. Front on right, rear on the left. 700lb bike, 10.8" ground clearance. It will fit 30" tires with no more

[@deepsouthNZ]

Nice colour bro

[@factionfx]

twis the chains until the slack is taken out. (same with how you do trailer chains). And that machine is about 700 lbs not 450.

[@cnaef19]

why you got it tied down like that? Tie it down by frame, such as rear hitch. Gonna ruin your racks.

[@575conbon]

Wrap the chain around the cables that hold the tailgate, then hook the chain back to itself.

[@williamsjasonw]

Yea safety first because that bike it heavy asf!!

[@keithbelz2346]

Hook the chain on the truck bumper or the reese hitch chain hooks keeps the ramps pinned to the gate and cant slide back and drop off on the loading or unloading

[@VIheavyequipment]

good vid

[@lcdubs7847]

Sweet Jesus, that was painful

[@kellybelanger5836]

You will find that it's so much easier using a trailer. You can get a good one for 300 used

[@williamsjasonw]

I got a 7x16 enclosed and a 14x7 dump trailer. It's easier with trailer yes but almost double in fuel when I go out of town I used enclosed trailer!

[@spyder000069]

@@williamsjasonw You need a little 5x8 trailer. you wont even know its back there. The first time you go over backwards when that ramp unhooks the trailer will have paid itself off. Nice bike!

[@POHLHAMMER]

@@spyder000069 That's why you STRAP the ramps...

[@reddawng43x91]

Where tf you get a trailer used for $300???????? I’ll take 5 of em ! Let me know pls thanks!

[@Jjason601]

Nice

[@evoeyerex3518]

Screw them salesman they’ll get you anyway they can doesn’t matter if you’re buying a four wheeler or dirtbike a car a truck or whatever he got pissed because he couldn’t pocket some of that cash that’s all that is

[@mcosby6832]

Hey Junk man I have a Kodiak 700 too, where you be riding? I go to Towns Creek OHV trails in the Oconee national forest, nice 👍🏽

[@deepsouthNZ]

I'm looking at the CF Moto 600

[@johnnyforshee1076]

How do you tell how many miles or hours are on the atv

[@dirtydogvideo]

do you think the power steering is needed? it is a lot more money. i am looking at this bike with no power steering.

[@knightimusprime25]

ya cant put those on a rapter that rapter has to have 12 inch wheels in order for those tires to fit

[@williamsjasonw]

True

[@jamescannon4917]

I'm looking to buy one more atv. How is the durability of this kodiak. I bought a new Yamaha Bear Tracker 250 in 2002 an still have it. Still runs good.

[@metalheadoutdoors8454]

Honda and Yamaha have the same wheel lug patterns

[@deadlyfraser]

How is it holding up? About to pick one up next week I think

[@knightimusprime25]

how's that thing holdin up for ya so far ?

[@kellybelanger5836]

That bike weighs 700 pounds

[@williamsjasonw]

It's so heavy!

[@joeellis2692]

I believe Yamaha has the lightest ATV in the 700 series. Well almost the 708 was the actual real 700 Yamaha had. The 686cc isn't really a 700 let's be honest. Yamaha is still running the 700 on a 550 chassis.

[@williamacosta8022]

Good for snow plowing driveway.

[@jasonmorehouse3756]

@@joeellis2692 you are wrong bud, this is an all new frame as of 2016. The 686 and the 708 Ave both 700 class bikes

[@stevenyoung3360]

Has it been good? I am looking to buy one this weekend.

[@kellybelanger5836]

Those tires will last a long time

[@williamsjasonw]

They almost gone because I rode alot on street...

[@mh01921]

Just dont get that damn a50 they suck I just bought the 2021 honda rubicon and i freakin love it that is a sweet bike whats the top speed

[@reddawng43x91]

Rubicon is junk janky junk ! No power

[@jasonmorehouse3756]

108kph or 67mph is to speed of the 700 Kodiak and grizzly

[@mh01921]

Also whats the advantage of the belt drive versus the chain

[@reddawng43x91]

Lol, 🤣

[@jasonmorehouse3756]

It's not belt driven. It's shaft driven. The "transmission" is a belt driven CVT

[@trevorfarlette9996]

Dude has no idea on anything, weights, clearances, chains on the ramp. He doesnt even know what lever is for what brake. Hes lucky that ramp didnt come off.
