- On this episode of KC ATV. I remove the engine side cover on the 2016 Kodiak 700 to inspect the oil pump drive sprocket nut to make sure it's tight.
Re-torque and Reassemble. As always thanks for watching! - Авто та транспорт
That nut fell off my 2016 grizzly. Over heated and I limped to the truck. Took me a bit to figure it out. It actually runs the water pump too. I took the cover off and the nut was gone. Fished the nut and washer from the bottom end with a magnet.
Wow, so it did happen to somebody.? That’s probably the only way you would know is overheating. Sense it turns the water pump too.
Luckily you were able to get back to the truck! Hopefully you didn’t hurt the engine. Thanks for checking out the video!
@@kcatv9556 Yamaha had a recall for my bike and replaced the cylinder due to smoking on cold start. When the mechanic had it apart he noticed some marks on the crankshaft from that nut falling off. I kept my mouth shut about that and Yamaha told them to replace the crankshaft. So basically got a new engine for free. Bike had 3900 kms on it 4 years old. Go Yamaha!!!
@@corymacdonald383 Haha Yup 👌👍
You are good at what you do. Meticulous. Well done. We need mechanics like you working on our gear at the dealerships !
Thanks a lot! I appreciate that!
I work on cars for a living at a Nissan/Infiniti dealership. You’re spot on. Thanks for checking out the video!
That's what I like to do also, get in front of common issues. Nothing worse than having a breakdown ruin a trip, especially when it could be prevented.
Another great video!!
Yup I agree, You don’t know until you check it out. Thanks for checking out the video!
Your a serious mechanic. Plus that's the cleanest shop I've ever seen. I wish mine looked that good. 👍
Haha yeah I like a clean shop. Thanks for checking out the video!
Great informational video for people who have one like that. I personally hadn’t heard of this happening so thank you.
Hey, mornin Stacy Thanks man just thought I would share the information with folks. Thanks for stopping by!
Great video, i like watching you do the technical videos like this one and when you rebuilt the 454 in your pickup.
Thanks Michael glad you enjoyed the videos.
Thanks for checking them out!
Nice job and walk through explaining what you are doing. I need to get my Polaris tuned up a bit. Since I got my Can Am I let the Polaris rest a while. Your videos on maintenance are coming in at the right time.
You have a Polaris? I don’t think I’ve seen a video of it. Thanks for checking out the video buddy!
@@kcatv9556 I own a 2014 Polaris Sportsman 570. I’ll ride it in a few videos this coming year. My wife and I ride, but I don’t film them. The reason it’s been sitting is my wife is pregnant so she doesn’t want to trail ride now. We will have a son in early March. Take it easy bud.
@@ManzanoManATVAdventures WOW. That’s cool having a son in March early congrats guys, hope everything goes smoothly!
@@kcatv9556 thank you. We are excited and counting the days down. Have a good weekend.
Awesome review nothing like knowing for your self for sure . Man you have one dang nice shop got love be able work on stuff any time like indoors .
Hey Norm thanks for stopping by!! yes I feel very fortunate to have the shop like that to be able to work on stuff.
Good video. I also have seen this pop up on forums and currently have a '16 Wolverine in the shop. So to determine if your bolt has loosened you should be able to remove just the water pump housing and try to turn the water pump blades. And or turn the engine and try to hold the water pump blades still. If the water pump spins without the engine that gear/bolt is loose.
Yup would be an easy way to tell if the nut has came loose or not.
Thanks for checking out the video much appreciated!
I would have never thought of bleeding the coolant ? I usually just leave the radiator cap off and let it run a bit . I like your way . I also like the way you say WASH . Good video sir , see ya in the next one
Hey buddy! Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video always appreciated!
Just wanted to give you a heads up when adjusting the valves on your wifes 708. When you pull the cam cover off to adjust the valve shims. The C-clips are spring loaded onto the cam bearings and are very loose in the cover. I found out the hard way and one c-clip fell down the timing chain slot. Stuff rags in tight the best you can and use two magnets and put one over each cam bearing when pulling the cam cover off or you will be tearing that water pump and side cover back off just like I ended up doing. My C-clip ended up on the backside of the flywheel. Also make sure you put a rag in the breather hole in the center of the head as of coarse I dropped a shim down that hole as well. I even had a magnet on the shim bucket and it fell off. Sometimes these things just want to fight you. Lol. Now I am just waiting for gaskets to get here. I also locktited the same nut you did in this video being i had it apart.
Oh man buddy while reading this it sounds like things were not going well for you. LOL
Yeah I have not done that yet on the wife’s machine probably will try to do it this coming winter. Thanks for the heads up on the possible issues, maybe save me some extra work fishing c-clips out of the engine.
Thanks again buddy!
Great video, would like to see you doing more how to videos and of course still doing rides
Thanks a lot, unfortunately I don’t have any more repairs or upgrades to do right now. LOL
Thanks again for checking out the video!
Lol when I first saw the picture with that side cover off ...I was like what is he doing now .... a turbo HAHA . But then I read the video title. Nice detail on everything, and explaining it all.
Hey buddy! Haha Nope no tube., sorry LOL. Thanks for checking out the video!
Good stuff buddy! I love watchin' these videos.
That lock tight looked very fluid/runny. Won't that stuff contaminate the oil? (don't forget, I know nothing about mechanics. I'm just askin') . . .
What did you use to clean that aluminum engine cover with? Gotta get me some'a that! . . .
I've heard some bad things about that 708 (apparently built by Fuji Industrial/Subaru), but heck, you got 3,500 miles on that one and it's in excellent condition.
Hey buddy! Yeah for some reason that engine gets a bad rap and people complain about it. Just like on the form board they were talking about that nut coming loose, but as you could see it was tight with no issue. That engine has been fine for 3000 miles. The Loctite hardens so it won’t contaminate the oil.
Dish Soap and water to clean the aluminum and a scrub brush. What are you doing watching UA-cam videos on a Friday night?
You should be taking the wife out for a steak dinner! That’s what I be thinkin. Thanks for watching buddy!
Wow my understanding is the 708 was built by Subaru folks for Yamaha for the those model years as you stated seems odd they didn’t spline or key way that component. Still love my 17 Grizzly but may have to check that out.....Great vid thanks for sharing
You’re welcome I just like to get the information out there. Thanks for checking out the video!
I believe it was made by suzuki
after a little more investigation, the motors were produced by Fuji Motor company (owned by Subaru) Fuji was also making motors for Suzuki, I guess that is where my confusion was.
Great Work. A little piece of mind goes a long way for me.
I went with a Pro Flow air filter flange on my older 660's airbox that allowed a clamp on style air filter. My 2019 700 still only has that "donut" gasket sealing the filter to the front of the intake housing and it's still bothering me.
Have you done anything with yours?
Yup even though everything was fine you don’t know until you check it?.
I’m still using the factory doughnut seal The only thing I did is I made another doughnut to fit on the outside of that one just so it was thicker, or not thicker but wider seal I should say. Thanks for checking out the video buddy!
Great video.. I have a 2020 grizzly xtr and I’m having stalling issues with it.. it has 940 miles on it’s just was serviced for the second time since I has it. The problem is that it stalls when I ride it for for an hour or so. No water in gas and the fuel pumps works fine no check engine lights. No over heat issues. It’s fine once it off for a while but if I ride it again it starts to stall it will not do over 30 mph just sputtering and backfires
Wow buddy that’s not good having it stall out after an hours ride. Have you taken it to a shop and had it diagnosed?. Hope you get it figured out!
Thanks for checking out the video!
I’ve told the dealer about my problem they told me that they can not get it to do what I told them. Told me to bring it back once it starts acting up but I have to ride it a while before it starts losing power , sputtering and stalling. I notice dirt in the gas tank but not enough to cause those problems.
@@marcuspeters2274 Sometimes in a situation like this you just have to put parts on it until you find it. Could be something like a spark plug or ignition coil. Or possibly the fuel pump giving up after it’s ridden a while.
It sucks putting parts on and not knowing if it’s the problem?
Yea I have to try something seems like it. Btw what’s the top speed on your grizzly since the tuner?
@@marcuspeters2274 After the tuner, clutch work, cam and head work it will run 74 mph.
Great video! Is it really necessary to remove the water pump housing? What mods does the Kodiak have? Thanks for all the video’s I enjoy them.
Unfortunately yes you have to remove the water pump, there is one case cover bolt that you can’t get to with the water pump on.
The only mods done to the Kodiak is the coops clutch mod. Other than that it’s all stock. Thanks for checking out the video very much appreciated!
I have my wolverine 708 side cover off now. Nut wasn't loose but the chain has a lot of slack. Did yours?
Tell you the truth I don’t remember? I would have to watch the video again and see if I could tell in the video. That’s a good thing your nut had not came loose, at least now you know you can Loctite it back on. Thanks for checking out the video.
That was probably a Belleville washer. The locktite was a good idea. I think I would have gotten a new washer and nut.
Yes I believe that washer was beveled slightly. I did put it back on in the same direction. Thanks for checking out the video!
What kind of modification on the lift to pick up the bikes. Just 2 bars?
I just have a crossbar to reach between the two front left pads. The rear left points reach to the frame on the quad. Hope that helps you out thanks for watching!
Good information on that nut I have a 2918 Probably going to trade it in I got the inch to buy a new one. My question is what kind of tires are those on that ATV
The tires are Maxis Big Horn 3.0 on the front.
2.0 on the rear of the Kodiak. Thanks for checking out the video!
Never seen one loosen up on one of these in the last 5 years. Them idiots on the forums got you looking for problems.... good luck my friend
Haha you’re probably right! Thanks for checking out the vid!
i ride my 2014 grizzly 700 mainly on old logging rds. just a little over an idle it's always running hot. do you think a radiator relocator would help it run cooler
Check out MrCuervoRacing UA-cam channel. He has a radiator fan early on kit that turns the radiator fan on earlier which keeps the engine from heating up so much.
I believe you can email him to purchase one. Hope that helps you out thanks for checking out the video!
Check out EHS racing big 3 package. Fuel tuner, improved K&N air box mod, and Barkers dual exhaust. My machine hasn’t overheated since I installed these. Almost doubled horsepower too. Worth every penny. Mine is a 2016 Kodiak 708, though. Maybe they have something for you.
@@jomby1231 Yeah EHS Does some nice work on those machines helping them out on power. This is the wife’s machine though it has plenty of power for her.. Thanks for checking out the video!
any estimate of shop labor hrs to do this on a 2017 wolverine?
I would say at least two hours shop time to do that procedure.
Hope that helps you out. Thanks for checking out the video.
How many torque pounds is the nut torqued down to?
I believe it was 30 ft lb
Thanks for checking out the video.
I hope they fixed the problem on the 2024 Kodiak 700
Hi Kenny, most likely they have addressed that issue.
Mine was not loose, but I’ve done the job just for peace of mind. Thanks for checking out the video!
Ya they did fix it all ready they only hade the 708 engine from 2016 TO 2019
Enjoy your videos. Can u recommend a atv GPS and communication between riders. Thanks keep up the good work
I use the eTrex 20 Garmin trail GPS. It’s just a tracking GPS, makes a track of where you are ride.
It doesn’t have any maps download in it.
The back country navigator app for android device seems to be a pretty good GPS for trail riding. I haven’t used one just going off what other folks have said about it. The communicators we are using is the Sena 30K units from sena.com They seem to work really well but there’s a lot of choices out there for communicators. Hope that helps you out, appreciate you checking out the videos!!
@@kcatv9556 thanks so much for replying back, alot of people dont take the time to reply when asked questions. This says alot about you, keep up the good work and look forward to watching more videos. Would love to join you on a ride if you ever go back to Hatfield and mccoy trails. Or anywhere in NC, SC, VA, WV GA
@@kevinwilson33513 Just seems like common courtesy to me.
If you take the time to watch a video of ours the least I can do is respond to a question or comment.
Speaking of Hatfield and McCoy, 2 of the guys we ride with are heading there this September but the wife and I won’t be able to make it.
I recently switched jobs late last year so vacation time is limited this year. ..
@@kcatv9556 do you have a facebook page? Would like to communicate more on where to ride, equipment, etc
@@kevinwilson33513 Hey Kevin sorry man I don’t have a Facebook page.
What's up buddy! I have to admit, I'm surprised they don't have an oil light. The aluminum skid isn't factory is it? I bought one for my machine that I need to install. I'm going to try to attach the factory plastic skid to it to keep it a bit more slippery in nature and absorb some of the shock it could take. It's just so cold right now I'm not very motivated to do it haha. I need to put a real heater in one of the garages for next season. Fun with magnets, haha. Great video as always.
Hey buddy, Yes the aluminum skid plates are a Yamaha accessory. The original ones were plastic. Yep that’s a good idea trying to make the aluminum more slippery with putting plastic over them. It’s pretty cold here today supposed to get some snow we’ll see? Thanks for checking out the video buddy!
@@kcatv9556 KC, have you ever put your machines up on it's back wheels to make it easier to access the underbelly? Do you have any thoughts on whether this is ok? I imagine if you need to get to the underside, you just run yours up on the lift? Thanks again sir.
@@ROCKINRODNEY I did that with my old sport quads Suzuki LTZ 400 they were a dry sump engine. Although the fuel would sometimes run out of the gas tank lid.
I’m really not a fan of doing that, especially on a utility machine.
@@kcatv9556 Yeah, I've never really been a big fan of it either. I do see people do it with the Utes on occasion. I never really had a reason for not liking it. Can't lie, the thought crossed my mind to make it easier to get that skidplate on. I'll probably just do it the old fashioned way.
Awesome video! Where do you find torque specs?
Service manual has the torque spec. Thanks for checking out the video!
May I ask why you don't post or say the torque specs? I don't have a service manual, sure I can get one but I've made it this long serviceing my own stuff and I always just give a a good ugh. I actually was looking for torque specs to retighten my water pump onto the impeller shaft, my 2016 Yamaha Kodiak 700 has about 5,000 miles and a 1000 hours engine was over heating was loosing coolant somewhere, my weep hole breather line was pinched off between frame and skid plate with the Yamaha glorified metal bread twisty tie that is welded to frame underneath, it was barely leaking coolant checked oil found that's where coolant was going so had to replace the impeller water pump shaft bc the rubber seal wore grooves into steel shaft, I've got a solution to this problem going to test it out but all these pumps like this need a oiler line like the one I installed on mine to lube the dry space or it's inevitable what happened to me will happen to probably everyone and machine in time. Mine being pinch may have sped up the premature failure of one of the seals.
after a little more investigation, the motors were produced by Fuji Motor company (owned by Subaru) Fuji was also making motors for Suzuki, I guess that is where my confusion was.
Yup you're right, that's what folks say is Fuji / Subaru produced those engines. Thanks for checking out the vid!!
Wow. What a stupid design. Thanks for posting this. I had no clue it was like that. Was there any loctite on the nut when you took it off?? Some engineer needs a good A$$ kicking for that one!!! Being you have that many miles on it have you check the valve clearance yet?? I check mine last summer and the exhaust valves were getting towards the tight limit. I will check them again before riding season is here.
Hey buddy, I haven’t checked the valve clearance not one time on that thing. You’ve got me thinking now I probably should, especially with the miles I have on it. Isn’t that crazy how they designed that stupid. LOL. Nope there was no Loctite on it..
Thanks for checking out the video my friend!
@@kcatv9556 Yes check that valve clearance. Between our family with Powersports toy's I bought a Hotcam master shim kit for adjusting valves.
@@440cubicinch thanks for the info buddy!
