2014 450 eps overheating

Wondering if there is a common problem with the 2014 450 overheating. I haven’t rode this more than 17 miles and it has overheated twice. The first time a stick or something poked a hole in the radiator hose but after I replaced the radiator hose I drove it a total of one mile and it overheated again.

Does this look like a buy?

I meant to title this post as "Does this look like a good/wise buy?" Found this on local craigslist. He’s firm on $5900. Here’s the description:

"This is a loaded fourwheeler. It’s a special edition 2008 that I updated with complete 2014 plastics. 4000 miles. runs strong and reliable. Has all the extras.
Hand warmers
12" LED light bar + protective cover
2500# warn winch + synthetic line
2" receiver kit
Brand new warn quick attach plow ( used one light season)
27" swamplites
Fox Float Evol shocks (amazing difference, easy to adjust)
Aluminum wheels
Yamaha gun boot with side mount. ( New in box)"

Here’s the link to the actual listing w/ pics:https://kenai.craigslist.org/snw/5195921179.html

Thanks.

Trouble getting in gear

Unless she is on a flat surface, why do I have to force it into gear or have to move the quad around to get into gear? Always been that way………Shortly after purchase when I took it in for service I asked about it and they just looked at me cross eye’d…….

She’s an 2011 700………

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Carb help for youth Grizzly 90

My grandson has a 2007 youth Yamaha Girzzly 90 that keeps fouling plugs. It has seen very little use, certainly not abused. The plugs are wet, not oily. I am going to clean the carb and need the specifications on setting the float height (and wet setting if possible) and the pilot screw. I don’t have a schematic so that would be very helpful. If someone can give me the carb model that will also be helpful. Also, any bits of wisdom will be appreciated.

Mobilfluid 424

Getting ready for 200 mile service on my 2016 Kodiak (wet brake in rear differential). The owner’s manual calls for the Mobilfluid 424 for the "final drive". It needs about a half quart to refill. The smallest container I’ve found to date is 2.5 gallons for $78 at Grainger. Does anyone know of a smaller container and have a source? Is there a specific yamaha substitute that I haven’t found?

2015 700 VS 450

Looks like we are upgrading the wife’s bike. I was wondering what the differences are between a 2015 700 and a 450 are. I am mostly interested in the suspension and ride comparisons

She took a test drive on a 2016 700 which she really enjoyed but kind of wants a smaller bike. Right now she has a 2007 Eiger
