2004 Yamaha Kodiak 450 Test Review - Full Throttle Review

In this video, we push the limits off-road with a 2004 Kodiak 450. This feature filled ATV was a real surprise to us. The 450 Kodiak delivers spirited power and is a solid trail performer.

Really like the videos with all the older used atvs! Refreshing when everyone else just does videos on the the most powerfull flashy ones keep up the great work!!!

Thanks Adam more "older" atv-utv reviews to come. The next review is truly a forgotten about quad...

[@everythingatv-utv-reviews3565]

Thanks for the comment! We can't afford to have the newest, but try our best to push the affordable to the limits!

Great review, I just picked up an 04 myself. Its got everything most people will need in an ATV.

[@everythingatv-utv-reviews3565]

Thanks for the positivity, great ATV all around!

[@gatorunleashed275]

Really cool and informative video, looks like these are about 7K dollar in base trim. Hard to decide what to get there are so many choices out there today.

Perfect midsize quad I had a 06 and it was bulletproof

[@everythingatv-utv-reviews3565]

Thanks for the comment, yes awesome quads!

My neighbor has a 2005 with less than a thousand miles on it....... never out of his garage.... and he just had a stroke........ and guess who will have it next.

[@cade8233]

Not older one. Stickers are different and the casing on the motors different

[@earl-tf4qc]

Can anyone recommend a good aggressive tire that won't break the bank? Not owned this Kodiak long but has the original tires on it 😬. Garage kept, low miles and hours but needs good tires.

[@NYROCATV-TV]

We'll done. I know you get some of your used ATV stock on Craig's list. You seem to find the gold mine on fantastic used machines. In this day and age there is some deals to be had and not pay the big dollars at the dealer. I think we will start a section on the Nyroc site and call it "The Frugal ATV Buyer" Posted on the site in reviews section.

[@everythingatv-utv-reviews3565]

Thanks for the applause! Great idea for new topic for the site and congratulations on the site upgrade! www.nyrocatv.com

[@NYROCATV-TV]

Thanks! We now have "The Frugal ATV Buyer" section in reviews. Now I just need to promote it.

[@usarmy500]

I have a 1994 Yamaha kodiak 450

[@kountryquads9475]

So powerwise, how would this compare to a rancher 420?

[@George_USMC]

Awesome

[@ChrisBlagdonIsABoss]

wow how did you find one in such good condition

[@everythingatv-utv-reviews3565]

It takes time and patience, but they are out there...

[@michaelrauch495]

Does this 4 wheeler have locking defs?

[@everythingatv-utv-reviews3565]

Thanks for the comment. Yes, the front axle has locking defs, the rear stays locked.

[@kountryquads9475]

Is this atv worth 2,500 if it had 1,500 miles on it?

[@everythingatv-utv-reviews3565]

The 420 feels a bit "peppier" with it's fuel injection and clutch setup. Yes, it's worth $2500 in good condition.

[@kountryquads9475]

Everything ATV-UTV-Reviews so what's the closest atv to a rancher 420 that doesn't cost as much? Rancher 350?

[@everythingatv-utv-reviews3565]

The 450 Kodiak, 500 Sportsman 2010 ish models, Honda Forman and yes the 350 Rancher is a good solid quad as well in that price range.
