OK, I am a bit confused with the quantity of oil that goes into my 2002 Kodiak diffs, even google is letting me down with conflicting stories.
From the manual I have:- the final drive is the rear diff and holds 160mL of oil. The differential case is the front diff and holds 350mL of oil.
But that doesn’t make sense to me, the rear diff (final drive) is a far bigger case than the front diff (differential case) but only holds half the oil, is this correct??
A few of us recently made a trip out to the Hatfield & McCoy trail system in WV.
We stayed at Wild Willy’z ATV Rezort near Ashland. We had an amazing time riding the Pocahontas, Indian Ridge and Pinnacle Creek trails. The first day we rode over 120 miles, the second day was about 100 miles. The trails are exhilarating, and the locals are definitely atv friendly. It did seem a little strange to me at first to legally ride on the streets to wherever you might want to go. It’s not every day you can ride up to the fuel station to top your machine off… Pretty damn cool.
Also, I highly recommend two way radios with the helmet kit. It made things easy as far as not having to eat dust and knowing when/where the lead is breaking to another trail.
We rode a lot and didn’t really take any pictures. We did manage to take a couple videos of us playing in a creek.

Started on my newest project the other day. I’ll give some background info.
Bought off craigslist for a whopping $400. Was sitting in a field for several years with no tires/rims.
Was told it smoked and es was bad. I pushed it to the back of the barn for a few months. Till the other day when my buddy said he had some spare time to work on the motor.
Plans are to fully rebuild the motor, strip down to the frame. Clean 100% while the motor is out. Convert to foot shift while keeping the es display. And buying all new white plastics to match my pioneer 1000. Will be running 28" outlaw 2’s and a small gear reduction.
Hello all. Would like everyone opinion on the a-arm braces. Do you need to add both front n back or just the back. Going to add what ever I need before I finish breaking on my 16. Got about 25 hrs on it so far and love it way more than my 800 that someone borrowed.
Hello all, Just picked up a new ’16 Renegade 850xxc and I was hoping someone could help me out.
1. I bought a 3 yr. extended warranty and the dealer says to goto a dealer for the first service at 100 miles. Do you really had to have the dealer do it or can you do it yourself and keep receipts for oil and filter? And is it really 100 miles or 200 miles?
2. The manual says not to use cleaners with petroleum in them on the rene plastics. I’ve always used SC1 or Turtle wax shine on my grizzly. What are you guys using to keep your gades shinny and new looking?
3. Is there anything I should replace right off the bat that could be a possible weak point on these units? I have a trip coming up in a couple weeks to Paiute Utah and would try to minimize any possible weak points.
4. My air filter came un-oiled. I ran UNI filters in my grizzly and oiled them religiously. Should the dealer have oiled the outer foam on it?
5. At what speeds are you supposed to be running in low gear? Under 10 Mph or lower?
So far I love this machine and hope it lasts and serves me as well as my Grizzly did. It looks like it’s going 100 miles an hour sitting there!!LOL!!! Thank you for any help in advance!!!!!—–Tim

So today riding in WV with a friend. His yamaha got water and mud in the belt housing….long story short after him trying to take the housing off and clean and dry out the belt. He pulled the plug…yada yada yada…couldnt get it running. So its time for me to tow him out….while doing so i went through what seemed to be a small mud pit…i slowly started to sink lower and lower while towing him and got dug up…while cursing and jumping off my quad after realizing i was stuck…i hit the kill switch and i heard a "gurgle" sound…"oh $h!t"…panic set in. My buddy said ah thats just the exhaust taking in water….your air box is up to high…so i started my 2016 outlander L LE up and water came pouring out of everywhere(it seemed) mainly just pumping out of the belt housing. So after a minute of curiosity we rode on back probably 3-4 miles, my quad seemed fine…didnt notice anything? Question is….lol sorry for the story guys. Should i take my quad to my canam dealer and have them look it over? Thanks for any input or advice.
I’m new to the forum and to ATV’s in general. I purchased a used 2008 Polaris Sportsman 800 with an unknown history. I seem to be working the bugs out as I go but I have encountered one that I can’t figure out.
I was riding on a trail and the engine stalled but when I tried to start it the display did not come on. My first instinct was to check to make sure the battery post had not come lose, and it hadn’t. Then I noticed the headlights were still lit. I checked the fuses to make sure they were still good, and they all were. When I turn the key The headlights come on but no display and no fuel pump. My guess is no power to the ECU.
I had a wrench so I jumped the posts on the starter solenoid and the machine turned over but still wouldn’t start as it seemed like there was no power to the ECU. Eventually it started and ran long enough to get home.
I pulled the bike out the next day and again no power to the display so I took the bike and pulled off all the plastics to clean the years of caked mud so I could start to troubleshoot. Once the I cleaned everything the bike acted completely normal. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should check if it does this again??
