Kodiak 400 ATV

Thinking about purchasing a used Yamaha Kodiak 400 ATV. It's a 4x4 used with about 2000 miles. Anyone have anything good or bad to say about this ATV? Thanks

Mark Komo:
Thinking about the same thing. Check with NADA for FMV just to make sure your not overpaying.  4WD is the way to go. Also, check if it is belt or shaft.  Shaft so much better. 

Depending on the year, check with consumer report. Also look for back issues of Field and Stream and other outdoor magazines. They may have tested or rated the machine you are looking at.

I think most if not all, utility yamahas are belt driven

  Not so with the Big Bear 400 mine is shaft drive front and rear with a 5 speed. :) Kodiak I believe is shaft drive with a auto transmission that does have a belt. Not sure what year you are looking at.

It's a 1997.
