Am new to this forum stuff. I am in the process of rebuilding a 93 Kodiak from ground up. I picked it up a while ago knowing it had a couple issues. One being that the rear end would raise on take off. Discovered seized brake cylinders mainly on front right causing brakes to prevent front tire from turning easily. Have now acquired 2 parts quads, a complete 95 and a 99 bare frame that had the complete front end attached and boxes of parts. All 4 Cylinders work great and are not seized at all. Very happy about this as each cylinder from the Yamaha dealer here is $170. $106 from Partzilla.com where I did order a few parts from.The other issue with the 93 was a oil leak from the rear of the t-case. This case had been broken and welded but can now replace with the one from the 95. I am cleaning and painting every part in the rebuild. Flat Black and army green with flat grey for skid plates and a few other small parts. I will post pics later.

I do have a question that I have not been able to find an answer to on line, when I install the t-case from the 95, how do I adjust the play ( back-lash) in the gears. I have a bunch of shims to use but need some advise on how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I look forward to using this site in reading the threads and seeing pics from others.

Take Care for now, Brian
