Guys I have an 01 Kodiak that's this one's brother ..these Yamahas are bullet proof . I've turned mine over went through places others dare go . Easy to work on need be ...all I've ever done to mine is change the oil , air filters , put brake pads on it . Don't think I've ever changed the plug ! Needs a kit in carb which I have but only thing is it won't idle for a long period . Somebody better buy this sucker come deer season you'll wish you did .
