This is in Divide, CO on the 717 trail system.

No, the seat was the only thing that I adjusted.

It's in Pueblo, CO

They are multi-use trails so there are hikers and sometimes horseback riders too.

I'm happy with my 165. I hardly have any pedal strikes anymore and I don't get saddle sore like I used to. The shorter cranks do take away some of the torque on rock climbs so consider that when deciding on a length.

That's correct

I don't really test my top speed so it didn't make any difference in my case. My tires are 26"

This is a great machine for trail riding. It has enough power to stay in high gear most of the time. The 4wd is great and I haven't had any problems with it at all. The stock tires are the only negatives for me. They're very soft from a lateral stability standpoint. Once I changed to the Tusk Mudforce tires the trail riding experience was incredible. Good luck with yours!

@@coloradokodiak7009 thank you for answering

It depends on how touchy you want the throttle to be. With just the weights the throttle is quicker but it doesn't jump at the first touch. There's still a long, controllable throttle curve. Good luck with your 31's.

It's a great machine!

@coloradokodiak7009 Just finished putting 50 miles on it, in the cold and rain and had a blast

@@ec6052 I really enjoy mine. I love how it has enough power in high gear to pretty much go anywhere. The only time that I change into low gear is when I want to go slow.

I hadn't ridden it in a while because I didn't have a way of transporting it. Now I can haul it again and I just put out a new video.

@@coloradokodiak7009 oh that's great! My friend has a 2021 SE model, and so I love them. I own a '05 KingQuad 700 and am a mountainbike guy as well

@@FullsendOffroad Sweet!!! I was looking at the KingQuad when I was deciding what to buy. The Kodiak was better priced so I went that way. I picked up mountain biking about a year ago and I love it. The strength gained from biking helps when riding atv's too.

@@coloradokodiak7009 I see. Kingquads are more in my opinion and better since they are smoother and more durable and faster but I've ridden both and Kodiak has better tech (not too little but noth too much) that the KQ could use. Plus Kodiaks ride is slightly better in my opinion. I do UA-cam videos on my quad as well. But yeah Mountain biking is great, even as for a beginner I like just cruising around but i really enjoy speeding downhill on paved roads going fast... makes me feel like I'm on a Motorcycle. Even though I can't legally drive yet I do sometimes go on motorcycle rides with my dad and going down those hills make me feel like I'm the driver... it's a great feeling. Once I'm 18 I'm promising myself some old used motorcycle, Looking mostly for Suzuki Boulevard C50.

@@FullsendOffroad You'd probably like downhill mountain bike parks. I personally stay away from road bikes and motorcycles because other drivers on the road are so bad.

They're motorcycle whoops and they certainly change the riding experience. This is in the Divide trails which is right across the valley from Rampart.

I started at the DVO rec settings and it's been good for me. I gained a little weight over the winter and my rear suspension is kind of soft now and I like it. I might try some more OTT but I'm happy with it so far. Good luck getting to your happy place!

When I hit the gas

Thanks for the tip! I ride 2wd more now but when I want to ride fast I put it in 4wd. The turning response is just a lot quicker.

@@coloradokodiak7009 when in 2 wheel drive if you want to make faster turns give it a little bit of gas where the back wheels spin a little bit and it helps you turn faster. When I go fast that's when I turn my four-wheel drive off LOL everybody does it different I guess. I have a 2020 700 Kodiak

These tires have held up well. There was some initial wear but it hasn't really gotten much worse after another 800 miles. I really like them.

The stock tires were soft and stability felt sketchy on off camber trails so I bought some Tusk MudForce tires and now the stability is outstanding.

Thank you so much for the reply! I'm throwing some ITP blackwaters on my future Kodiak 700 eps

I agree. I wish I could tour the country and experience all the types of trails. I'll check out your channel.

Yeah, in my peripheral vision I could see it better but I surprised it and myself.

Thanks for watching! The weather was about 50F.

Thank you! Yes, it's close to Canyon City, CO and I agree, you should ride there.

@@coloradokodiak7009 I would love to come up to ride. It’s 11 hour drive I have to come in the summer

@@jemmons2694 Yeah, that's a lot of driving. That part of Colorado gets pretty hot in the summer (Around 100F) so be careful.

@@coloradokodiak7009 we have been going to Oklahoma to ride the Choctaw nation trail. We go about 11 miles in and camp.

@@jemmons2694 I bet it gets pretty hot there too.

Hello Brother!

You're going to love it.

I do not, sorry. You're welcome to share this on Instagram if you want.

@@coloradokodiak7009 I just got a 2021 kodiak 700 base.

@@jemmons2694 Isn't it great?

@@coloradokodiak7009 it’s awesome! The bad about down here around Dallas & Fort Worth is there isn’t any place free to ride.

Thanks. It's in Westcliffe.

@@coloradokodiak7009 is the in the west part of the state?

@@jemmons2694 It's more in the middle actually. It sits along the Sangre De Cristo mountain range. You can look it up on Google maps.

@@coloradokodiak7009 how far from salida

@@jemmons2694 I'm not sure. Probably around 30 minutes.

It's a great machine!

Hello. I'm very happy with my Kodiak. I've never ridden a Grizzly so I don't know what I'm missing. I did change the clutch weights to the ones the Grizzly uses and I've changed the tires and added a rear cargo box. Other than that it is still stock.

Thanks for the heads up. Mine have held up so far but I'll take a look to see if I can reinforce it before something bad happens.

I'm sure that I would love riding in Okanagan. Thanks for the compliment!

As long as it meets those measurements. I personally wouldn't put one in there because of the fumes. You can strap it to the front rack.

I haven't tried to find out the top speed. I think 45mph is as fast as I've ridden it. For the Whoops it depends on the size of them. If I stand up I can get over them a lot faster.

Hello. I really like the performance of the tires but they do seem to be wearing down too fast. I ride on rocky trails and I run about 7.5psi in the tires so that may contribute to the wear. 800 miles on them so far. I'm sure I can get another 800.

@@coloradokodiak7009 thanks for the reply. I live in Nevada so I’m no stranger to rocky trails, lol! At that price, replacement wouldn’t be that bad if they do wear out fast.

@@losbush I would love to ride some of the sand dunes that you have in Nevada.

Hey Dude, I had the shop change out my clutch weights so I don't have any personal experience with the process. I would think that you want the weights to have a good coating of grease on them.

I rode one of the 708 Kodiaks and it didn't have the same power as my 686. Not even close. It's possible that the one I rode needed some tuning but I was surprised.

@@coloradokodiak7009 i dont't think so a buddy of mine just bought a 20 ans he let me try it and to me it seemed the 686 is a little bit more snappy on low end
