mille lacs muskie bum Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Iam looking at the yamaha kodiak 450 auto 4x4 outdoorsman edition and am wondering if anyone has used this mavhine. This will be my first atv so I want something reliable and sturdy. Any info would help. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Excellent machine, you will not be dissapointed with your purchase. I have had the 03' model(since new) with no problems and around 2000 miles on it now. I have done a lot of work with mine, and have had it in a lot of stupid places and it has never let me down, or left me wishing I had a different machine. That machine will do anything any other ATV can do just as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatoMike Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I have an '05 Kodiak 450. I did a lot of research before purchasing and could not be happier. Great machine. Plows snow great, pulls trailer great and goes through snow great. Plus reliability is right up there with Honda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheif Catchemall Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 i have an '01 which was the first year of the current body style (which they modeled the griz after). 2001 ATV of the year and proved it in many ways. i have never had a problem with my ATV except not using it enough with non-oxy gas in the tank, gave me a few carb problems. that was my fault and would have happened on any small engine. They make them better every year and the new kodiak has all the features that i wish i could get at the time i was looking. it has it all and it's small enough to get unstuck and carve through the woods. No matter what you choose use 91+ non-oxygenated gas every time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleye_dog Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I also have an "01", no problems here either. I looked at upgrading to an "05" recently, then I thought to myself WHY, the machine I have is payed for and has never let me down. Decision made.
