I ran across this… I thought it only came in Carbon Metallic? If you search the web you will find images of it in Matte Black.
Yamaha 2016 Kodiak 700 EPS SE Matte Black

I have a tri-fold ramp I used when I used to have one snowmobile. I am planning on using it for my new Kodiak to transport in back of pick up. Will the ramp fit under the ATV during transport? I would think it would. It is not 10.8" thick when folded which is the ATV clearance… What do you all do?

What would you all recommend for Rear Seat/Storage for a new Kodiak? Best fit, price, etc…?

Looking at new Kodiak EPS SE… MSRP is $8,999. Best deal I can get is $8,638 OTD. $7,999 + $199 + Tax… That seems pretty good to me. Next best in this area is $600 more… $9,200+/-.
What are you all seeing for pricing in your area?
Thanks,

Hey all,
What can one expect to pay for a 2,000/2,500lb winch installed? An average cost… ? Is it better to have dealer put one on or buy aftermarket and have installed by someone else?
Thanks,
Steve

I have done alot of research on the 2016 Kodiak 700 & Grizzly 700. I also know that the Grizzly is quicker off the line and can easily pull a wheelie unlike the Kodiak. I did notice that all the drive train is the same, i.e intake, throttle body, engine, exhaust, and transmission. The rear diffs are different (Grizzly has rear disc brakes and different lock, where the Kodiak has wet brake and no different lock). The front diffs are the same. The one thing that I noted was that the weights in the clutch are different, weights. The Kodiak has heavier weights which are suppose to give it lower torque and a slower pull off the line, while the Grizzly has lighter weights which gives it that faster off the line (and easier wheelies) power. Now supposedly the Kodiak will be a few mph faster then the Grizzly, because the heavier weights will keep the belt tighter on the ramps and it also has smaller tires then the Grizzly. So with all this info I would think that if I just exchanged my weights out for the Grizzly weights that it would be peepie on the throttle like the Grizzly. Any thoughts would gladly be appreciated, I did most of my research at cheapcycleparts.com which gave me all the scymatics in detail including pics and part number. I put both the Grizzly and Kodiak side by side and reviewed the drive train part for part and the only thing i found different were the weights in the clutch.
