The front shocks on my Kodiak have seen better days, I have been looking for some replacements with no success.
Why have Yamaha changed shockers on different models, there seems to be plenty available for pre 2000 and post 2003 models but none for mine, any suggestions? What have others used.
Greg on his Kodiak 450 suspension thread mentioned the 14 1/4" Fox shocks off of a Polaris ZRT600 snowmobile for his Kodiak, these are shorter than mine but maybe I can use these and a lift kit, what do others think?
The rebound on mine seems to be very stiff and the bottom eye rubbers are gone, I have to use the softest setting for a comfortable ride, gets pretty hard on the arms on a rough ride.
07 sportsman 500 efi would rev up to 3800 rpms in park by itself is the problem. Sometimes would stall. Shut machine off turn back on runs fine for a while.
Dealer says they think it needs new computer??????? Anyone heard of this?????
So the backstory with this trailer is: I bought it, didn’t like the crane on it, waited for a couple of years and suffered while at it and finally decided to build a new crane.
This should get interesting and I know there are many things that you don’t like and a few that you HATE. Keep this non-political, non religious, or race or any of the other stuff that may offend someone….I’ll start,
1) Littering needs to stop, we all have places for trash and it’s not out the window of your vehicle.
2) >: Taking a drink out of the beer that used to be your beer before you designated it an ashtray, YUCK.
Hate is a strong word, but I DO Hate littering and ashtray beers, just sayin’.
Bring it on, my list is long of life lessons, "I hate Pulling the Grizzly in Muck boots, You will bust a shin or two when you Slip".
Hi got me problem I can not figure out. Here is what it does and what i have tried.
The 450es sat up for several years. I traded for it and cleaned the carburetor, got it started and run it around the yard with no problems shifting up or down. I noticed the speedometer registered 0 speed all the time and that it showed what gear it was in. I went out on our country road to test it out and the gear indicator went to — when I shifted to forth gear. so I checked on line for possible solutions and found out about the angle sensor and speed sensor. So I decided to check them out so since the speedometer read 0 all time i checked the speed sensor first. It checked 5 volts steady between green wire an r/g did not go down to 0 like the video I saw said it was supposed to when the shaft is turned. Between black and green got 12v. I went to salvage yard and guy took one off of a working machine said he had more of them in the yard but did not have time to go out and get it. I put it on and being a electronic tech by trade I check this one before completely installing it gave same reading 5v and not dropping when shaft turned. I went ahead and installed it thinking maybe my old bench volt meter (Analog type) might be lying to me. I know this meter puts more of a load on the circuit being tested. So i test 450 out again this time it ran and shifted out to 5th gear but would not downshift. Battery was low found loose cable(original battery charged up and starts engine but think it is weak). But I had to use the manual shift to get it back in neutral. Speedometer still reads 0. Can’t get another speed sensor till after the 2nd.
Has anyone had a problem with sensor not reading correct because of the CPU on display or the shifter control unit?
I’m a first time ATV buyer and have decided that I’ll be buying a used GRIZZ. I have narrowed it down to two bikes and would love to hear your feedback / input on what one to buy:
1) 2012 700 EPS w/ 1400 miles and winch. Good condition, second owner. $5,800.
2) 2014 550 EPS w/ 500 miles. Great condition, original owner. $6,400.
I’ll be mainly using the gross from trail riding so performance and top end speed is key as well as some light utility use. I originally thought the 2012 was a no brainer given the 700 engine but after doing more research, it looks like 2014 was a huge upgrade year for the Grizz. What one would you recommend? Do these seem competitively priced? All input and opinions are welcome, thanks!

Before I bought it, I tried to find pics of the front oem box but literally didnt find anything that provided context as to what it looks like when mounted. It is crazy that Yamaha will go to the trouble of manufacturing it without marketing it or even showing it on the atv. Attached are images from my rig if anybody is ever interested or would like to know. I also received the front brush guard but it arrived dented.
Notice that the front handlebar headlight isnt functional now. I plan on installing 1 flood and 1 spot round led lights to the front of the box and simply reroute the power from the headlight. Guessing wattage wont be an issue since the halogen should draw more juice than an two round LEDs… dont quote me on that though.
GENUINE Honda Speedometer Gear Box 08175-HC400-01. New never used belongs to Hondaline kit 08175-hc400. Supposed to fit trx300 trx350 2WD 4×4; I bought it thinking it would fit my 86-89 trx350 but it does not.
Sell or trade I need minor hardware for 86-89 trx350: bellypan, tank guard and rubbers and header pipe guard. Thanks
Just bought a used wheeler. Found there to be an FMF exhaust/muffler installed.
I cannot find anywhere online that sells and FNF muffler for a Honda TRX420…Not even on the FMF website. I dont know if someone just modified the flange and attached this, but it does sound decent. Not too loud/crackily.
Also had some questions as to what you guys see in these pics. I had them install a winch and I think that is what is in the back compartment now….
And also, the previous owner installed a K&N air intake
Just wanted to make sure from the pic below there isnt any kind of modulator/power commander?? http://i.imgur.com/ZoO4FSGh.jpg
From everything I have been reading, it seems like the quick mods are Exhaust, Air Intake, and commander. Just wanting to find out, since it has the first two additions….
