Good call on the winter oil. Yamalube sells those because they know people use these quads in the winter. It’s a bit of a shame too many people just use the regular blend when they live in Canada.
@@thumperbangin2000 i used the YAMALUBE FRICTION MODIFIED PLUS SHAFT DRIVE GEAR OIL which is 80w-90. my dealer told me to use it and its been good for front and rear!
Just picked up a 2017 yesterday! Thanks for the video cam in handy! I want to put a snow plow on mine. I already have a nice winch on mine also. You said it was a warn snow plow mount? Where did you buy it from? Thanks!
Yea that's a good idea! So I got the warn plow mount, that goes underneath in the middle from Capitol Motorsports in Winnipeg, MB because I had a hook up there. Works fantastic!
Dwayne Doerksen Thanks for the info! I’ve always owned Honda atvs and they have been good to me over the years. Thinking ahead about my next atv between the Kodiak 700 SE and Honda Rubicon Deluxe is a hard decision. I know the Kodiak will be more powerful, but I know the Rubicon will have enough power for the riding I do. Both of these atvs are priced the same where I live so it’s not like one or the other is cheaper than the other. Thanks again!
@@Palomino488 I've had my Kodiak 700 for 3 years and love it , super reliable and comfortable to ride . Make sure you get the locking differential , I got the manual 4 wheel drive and it doesn't have it and thats my only complaint. I've been stuck in 4 wheel and was not happy
I just bought a new yamaha kodiak, fixing to do first oil change, thank you, video was great help.... phil ( kentucky )

BTW i love my 2020 Kodiak she runs like a dream and gets this old man very well

Hehe. Great vid . Keeping it real. Good tips. Thanks.
Susan Giggie hey thanks!
I need to do the Diffs on my kodiak 700.. havent done em yet, theyre due im sure
I did mine at about 30km in. Always some filings in there once you get a few miles on it. Haven't touched them since, put on 2500km
Dwayne Doerksen whatd u run for fluids? Sounds like we need 75 90 ? Is there a gear drive oil too? Saw some guys mention that
@@thumperbangin2000 i used the YAMALUBE FRICTION MODIFIED PLUS SHAFT DRIVE GEAR OIL which is 80w-90. my dealer told me to use it and its been good for front and rear!
Dwayne Doerksen thanks. Its really just the front/rear diffs and oil changes with filters on these machines right? For fluids right?
@@thumperbangin2000 yea that's it that's all

@@DwayneKenDoIt great thanks for the reply ! I’ll look into it !
Nice Kodiak! How reliable has this machine been for you? Any problems? Great video by the way!
Palomino488 thank you! It's been great! Had it just over a year now, over 2000km on it and going strong. Lots of power for playing and working!

@@jaredjames7046 Thats when a winch comes in handy...
I take my wheel off and you have tons of room, I have the same machine
Pretty sure that oil isn’t wet clutch certified shouldn’t be using it
