JUST MY OPINION:
Ive owned atv's since 1983 my first was a honda 200s.The S meant front shock, that was state of the art.The only real problem I had with any of them was electrical especially when they get a little age to them. When I started reading about the Kodiak base modei I thought finally a company gets it.Speedometer dont need it.Power steering is a joke.Push button 4 wheel drive and diff lock,I come from Honda so never had diff lock and I can HONESTLY say I never needed it.Third headlight,I dont drive my atv in the dark,and if I did I'll where a headlight.The fuel gauge now thats a different story.I REALLY WISH IT HAD A FUEL GAUGE. The A arm guards,the hitch they should be included with a "work"machine. What Im getting to is all that stuff the speedometer,headlight,push button 4 wheel drive,diff lock,fuel gauge,power steering. All those electrical connections, all that power its just stuff that WILL fail.Its just a matter of time..
