Just purchased new 2018 Kodiak 700. Only have an hour on it. Does anyone know about the air filter problem and if it was fixed on the 2018 model.

To my knowledge its an ongoing issue but, there is a fix that some have done. You will need a 1 1/4 pvc connector and a napa gold 6449 filter, as stated in other posts
Im waiting for a 19 with a fix:nerd:

I doubt that Yamaha will fix it since they don't believe that anything is broke.

I'm new to Yamaha Kodiak ownership and own a 2018 Kodiak 450 and 700. I'm not familiar with the air filter issue, is there something I should be looking for or upgrading? Thanks for the info :wink2:

Just checked my OEM air filter set up yesterday . . . well oiled and it looks good inside the air box. Of course it helps that on Club rides I'm often leading as the trip leader/Club President (sometimes it's good to be in the lead.)

The filter issue is present on the 2018's.
I changed mine out with a Unifilter EHS Racing kit.

Some of the guys here have done a homeade mod, and it may work well...just haven't seen it firsthand.
Unimod is safer than K&N style for dust IMO.

I've been running this in my 2 Kodiak 700's for over a year without any issues:

WIX 46790 https://www.everythingtruckparts.com/products/wix-46790?variant=751788064788&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Shopping&utm_term=1100912364818&utm_content=All%20Products

Requires no modification or extra parts. I just grease up the exterior of the filter connecting tube to prevent any blow-by at the connection point.
