greeting  everyone I`m  bob  , user name bob570sportsman , I live in northern  b.c., Canada  and love quadding , my 1 st bike I bought off my son s buddy was a 2006  Yamaha  Kodiak , I loved the bike , except no power steering  and on the old logging trails and rocky mountains  we go up I needed a new one , plus being retired I put 9000 km on it ,in 2 yrs , as I am retired   and would ride almost every day , so I bought a  2016 570 sportsman e.p.s..   love the pwr  steering ,  we do most of our riding and trail clearing in the kitimat valley , and we   are  getting quite an extensive set of trails and loops that are connecting , plus we are in touch with the terrace  b.c  club  so we help out on big trail clearing jobs,  should have bought one of these 40  yrs.  ago , but its never too late.  for great scenery  and riding  try northern  B.C.   its great riding ,

Welcome to QUADCRAZY, looks like you have some great riding up there, I'm jealous!  I used to own a 2004 Yamaha Kodiak 450 and loved it. I sold it and upgraded to a 2005 Yamaha King Quad a year or so later for the comfort and independent rear suspension, no PS though. Loved that quad the most. Ended up selling that when I got married and then bought a 2004 Yamaha Grizzly that I'm riding now.

I sunk my  2006  , as I did not know what I was doing  on creek crossing ,  and it was a tuf little machine , but I decided to snorkel it , idid not buy the stock kit

 but I used sump  pump hose  and A.B.S.. FTGS.   THE stock kit from Yamaha  up here was 300 $    , idid   mine for 80$   and a little imagination, I then tested it by mistake , I was actually in water  up over the seat  and nothing leaked, but it is gone  now

That's sounds awesome, I think its pretty cool when you can save money by fabricating something that works just as good!
