1998 Yamaha Kodiak 4x4; what year range seat will fit my ?

[cutlass1972]

My first post here, hello all!!

I just bought a fixer upper 98 kodiak 400 4x4. I need a whole seat assembly and have found a couple on ebay used. In particular a seat off of a 95 Kodiak. Can anyone tell me if this seat will work and if not what year range will work?

Welcome to QUADCRAZY! I used to own a 2005 Kodiak. If you take a look at what is selling on ebay, most Kodiak seats cover 1987-2001 fitment:

1996-1998 have the same part #, but sometimes manufacturers will change part #'s without changing the part. So what said Ajmboy may be correct. However, when those part #'s were changed, the prices changed too, which would lead me to believe that something about the seat may have been changed as well. I would either stick to the 96-98 model years, or do some reasearch and try to figure out what parts are interchangeable between different models and different years. For all I know, a seat from a '95 Timberwolf or Bigbear might fit.

this is frustrating, I wish there was a car-part.com for atv's. Any advise on how to find out what parts are interchangeable with what years?

I agree, I love car-part.com for used parts.
