Yamaha Kodiak 400

[HauntedWinter]

Hey guys,

New peep here and I have come to ask a question. I currently own a Honda Fourtrax and have come across a Yamaha Kodiak 400. It has all time 4wd. Not sure of the year but think it is in the mid-90's. The quad is in very very good shape except for one little thing. the motor is blown. The guy wants $500.00 bucks for it. Is it worth it? I can rebuild it no problem but feel that $500.00 might be a bit much for a quad with a blown motor. What does everyone else think?

offer him 3 or 4. how much for parts and whats your time worth to fix it? if its in good shape, snag it. if the parts come in under 500 $ then you have a nice machine for a grand. IMO...

what is gone in the motor? just top end?

Welcome to QUADCRAZY! If you had the year, it would be easier to figure out. It really depends on how much to fix it normally if someone else was to do it, at a shop, how much that would cost....subtracted.

Hi guys,

He was not in the shop today so couldnt get more info. A friend of ours mentioned he thinks the cam chain broke. If thats the case, I am probably looking at atleast 1 new valve. probably a piston(piece of mind) and hopefully the rod wont be bent. When he gets back into town, I will have to get the run down on it. Thank you for the responses!

its worth about that much ... i part out quads and buy sell repair them all the time and could part it out on ebay and tripple my money at that price
