OK Shoot! catmando!

| I sold my friend a 97 Kodiak Atv, And I would say they make a pretty tough atv, I had it for over a year as a spare and now he does and im sure he agree's. Ron

| I have an 05 450 kodiak and I think its a great quad I use it for hunting, clearing snow, pulling a post pounder, and just fun riding never had any problems. Two of my friends bought the same quad because they liked it so much.  |

Classified Rating: 100% (1) | I just had a little issue with the clutch and thought bad things about it for a while but after some research and talking to a couple mechanics I found out it wasnt the machine that was at fault.The clutch bolt came off and it fell apart nicely smoothing out the splines.I'm told it was likely due to it not being torqed right when it was put together the last time( before I owned it)Couple hundred bucks in parts and we should be on the road again! catmando!

| Nice to hear that it won't cost you much to put it back together. I was with the group of guys with the H1 ripped apart for the same thing..... My buddy is still trying to get some warranty out of his.... will see what happens.... |

Classified Rating: 100% (1) | Good to hear,I would rather buy gas than parts,warranty can be a good thing when they come through for you!Got mine back together again,got lucky and only stripped about a quarter of the threads, so didnt have to replace the shaft.Must have been loose for a while cause what a difference in performance!Thanks again for your help! catmando!
