i just purchased this machine used from Dennis Dillon Canyon Honda, In Nampa, Idaho. the fuel pump was the first to go out, the first time bi took it in mtns. I love the Wench in front on machine. it helped in towing me back to camp. It has taken over a week in the dealership to get the part to them. i am patient, yet, have to wait. i have to pay for 1 1/2 hrs labor to have them install it, too. they charged me $600 for the water pump. why so expensive? i originally paid just under $5 grand for it used. It's a great Atv. I'm a woman and my whole family has utvs, atvs, etc. Thanks for your videos.
I have a 2020 Yamaha Special Edition that will not start. I think it's the fuel pump because I can't hear the fuel pump priming. All I hear is a couple of clicking noises. I'm pretty disappointed in my machine so far. Normally Yamaha's are bullet proof. I bought a 2001 400 Kodiak and sold it to my brother. It's still running strong. Then I bought a 2011 450 Grizzly and gave it to my other brother, who rides it everyday with no issues. So, I bought myself a 2020 Special Edition fuel injected ATV and it had fuel issues over the summer. It won't start until after it cooled down. Now I think my fuel pump went out. My question is, Are fuel injected ATVs really worth it? I was very happy with my carbureted ATVs.
I had a 400 carburetor version for 17 yrs was bullit proof. I do still like the new 700cc as I have 3 of them. You can put a volt meter or test light on the 2 wire connector and make sure it's getting the 12v when key is cycled. If so, replace fuel pump. I use all 3 of min either every day or every week. So fuel does not get stagnant. T Try to keep ethical free fuel in it and at least start it once a month and ride it
In the beginning, you mention having an electrical issue ( The way you said it sounded like you hadn't found it yet) when you first turned the key on. If the electrical issue is That sometimes you turn the key on but you have no power, And you can't do anything with it I've had the same or similar problem. After years of trying to figure it out, I finally found out that it's a faulty key switch. My kodiak sat all winter unused Because I couldn't figure it out turns out a 15$ switch was the problem. Good luck
When they replace my fuel pump in my 2018 kodiak 450, Is the new replaced fuel pump called 'after market fuel pump? We ride deep into Payette ntl forest. i really hope my new machine will be dependable, once the fuel pump is changed. I wish i knew more people like you. thank you. i been charged $600 for as fuel pump. you paid $67. I really think i'm getting ripped off. am i? or is That what is normal for Dealerships that sell you an atv that has a fuel pump issue? Being a woman and dealing with people out charging me is flustrating and disappointing. You've braught me insight and i appreciate you.
Aftermarket just means a non oem pump. Usually the oem parts are better but cost 2 to 4 times more then a aftermarket manufacturer. I put a lot of aftermarket parts on quads and Usually don't have a issue. As you can tell I buy and sell a lot of quads. Yamaha are the best. That's why I have 3 700s
