A Camp Belle On Grid weekend, had to get some stuff done around the house as well as pick up the new ATV. This video is a rundown of the ATV we picked up and the reasons why we chose this unit. Music By: Lauren Duski - Rollin
Solid investment my friend. The time we spend in the wilderness the more it becomes apparent the value of a good machine. Best wishes guys. Also appreciate your joining our members over on our channel. I means a lot to us. 😊
@Camp Belle Off Grid we have been playing hooky and been away from the cabin for a while, that big storm hit us downstate, but back to off grid life tomorrow. Stay safe and keep warm spring like thoughts in mind......we are ready to get back outside....but think we are being optimistic, lol.
Congratulations on the Kodiak. I've owned 2 Grizzlys. First a 2005, 660, then my 2020, 700. Great machines. Comfy, agile, and always reliable. I've ridden many brands, but the Grizzly, and Kodiak in my opinion are the perfect all round quad. Treat her well and she will outlast you. Lol.
I just put my 2021 Kodiak 700 SE in the shop... I am very DIY and do all of my work, but I just put it in the shop. It's just digressed over time. I think it's a COVID bike and issues. It just turned 2 yo.. 800 miles and no mudding. Just work in the deer camp. I will let you know what it is.
Nice choice, and it's already turned you into a kid again. :) I took a trip from Arkansas to Illinois to get mine. It is a 2022 Yamaha Kodiak EPS SE - love it, and you will as well.
Your going to love your kodiak. We’re in Ontario too. Right on the Ottawa river I work my kodiak hard and it works hard too. Lots of power to work and play. One thing I found was it ran hot at low speed in the bush with no air flow. I deleted my spark arrestor and did a k&n air filter and it helped considerably.
I am definitely looking to help it breath with an air filter kit, haven't noticed it running warm yet...thanks for the heads up, ill keep an eye on it. My 09 Grizz has a tendency to run a little warm when I was working it hard at low speeds.
I was like you. Have a 2005 Kodiak in great shape only 4500km on it. A few years back back I bought a new 2016 Yamaha Wolverine R-Spec. Nice suspension and high back bucket seats and power steering. My retirement machine.
Very nice Mark...that will come in handy on your property for sure!! Caroline will love riding that one when you go out on the trail together...right Caroline?
I have a 2016 Kodiak 700 EPS SE. A few first year growing pains for that model, but overall it's been a good machine. I like that they went back to the 686cc from the initial year's 708cc like mine. I think the new Outlander 700 single cylinder from Can Am is going to be some good competition.
@@campbelleoffgrid I did change out the stock tires on mine to Kenda Bear Claw HTR's. They have been great. Good off-road traction and for plowing snow and they have a center lug which makes them ride pretty nice on road too.
Very nice!! I just put a deposit down on the exact same model. It will be my first quad. I chose that over the Grizzly for very similar reasons. Mine will more for woods work, hunting, plowing, farm work and slow trail rides with the Wife. Im too old for fast riding. I’m sure if I need to open it up a bit, it will be fast enough for me. I’m looking forward to it arriving
I haven't gone too fast with it yet as Im still breaking it in, that said I saw in some YT video's folks hitting 100kmh...that's certainly fast enough for me..thanks for watching Shane
Looks sweet! I just got a couple 2023 Grizzly XT-R and they are impressive in the capability category. Terrain is a bit extreme here in Utah and these machines are very capable.
A few years away from retirement and looking to buy my first ATV, mainly to take the grandkids for a ride every so often. Looks wise I like the Can-Am, but I’m open to options.
Can-Am does make a decent ATV, I have a few friends that swear by their BRP's. Yamaha has treated me well over the years, hence my dedication to their product. Thanks for watching....
I’m looking at buying the same machine. I have a grizzly, but the dad bit smaller body would be nice. That ugly blue Grizzly I can’t stand. Great video and information, thank you.
Nice machine. I have the same in a 2018, tactical black too. I noticed the Ontario plates, Vale hat (almost looked like it says claribelle) so are you in Sudbury area? I'm in Levack close to Coleman.
Surprised Yamaha doesn’t make a grip heat kit that fits perfect like Canam makes. After years of atving I put on a kidney belt which gives lots of support to the lower back
I haven't personally had an issue, when I was shopping around a fellow you tuber did state that he had to get his battery changed on his 2022 Kodiak the first winter as he had starting problems, after he installed a better battery in the unit it seemed to resolve his issues.....for extreme cold starting.
@@campbelleoffgridmy starter went in my grizzly I thought it was a weak battery same exact symptoms but the magnets let go in these yamaha starters just FYI for the future, (it was a $70 fix and I did it myself in 20 minutes)
