700 kodiak here, like it but a bit thirsty and not fault free. Currently breaking footwells for fun but it’s in warranty and they seem happy to keep replacing them

I’m pleased with ours so far.

My new one broke one today and I couldn’t work out how the hell it had happened so that makes me feel better then!

Huge upgrade then! Only problem I’ve had is a full engine rebuild at 14,000 mile, 2 year old, on a 450.

What’s the lead time now? I’m waiting on another and I ordered in September

If its 14k miles thats not so bad, we were gunna have the 450 but apparntly its more like a 420 so opted to go 700 in the thought it wouldnt be working as hard

Maybe but I’ve never been in the position I thought I needed more, even pulling a Super 10 with double race etc it pulls it 30mph with ease, stopping is more the issue but a 700 wouldn’t stop much quicker either. The last honda we had ate gearboxes where as the only thing the yam has had is the engine. Put a honda engine in a Yam and it would be incredible

The dealer at ours has 10 700s in so pretty much straight away

Footwells are terrible on them. This is just from standing on it, I weigh 86kg. Only 9 months old not overly heavy use.

Just keep getting a new one fitted, they will learn when inundated with warranty claims
