So, here's the deal, older (93?) Kodiak. Little use. Colder climate. In the mountains. The brakes have always sucked. Have to keep ft and rear locked up on hills, to keep from rolling, while weed spraying. Looking for the highest friction brake shoes(yes, shoes ft and rear on these old ones). Seems is too old, the racer stuff, nobody makes any. Organics and ceramic are about worthless, as brakes never get hot/warm.

Any ideas? I just now ordered the basic DP sintered shoes, looks like my best bet, for what is available. Ones on now are cheapo ebay crap, work about the same as factory ones.

      2003 Kodiak Leaking fuel from drain hose at bottom of carb
      By DPDISXR4Ti
      I hadn't driven my Kodiak for a two months, and since it was low on fuel, the first thing I did was filled it up to maybe 7/8 full. Getting ready to start it, I rotated the fuel selector switch to "on" and within seconds I smelled and saw fuel dripping onto the floor. I quickly turned it off and the fuel gradually stopped - I can repeat this.
      The fuel is flowing from the hose that is connected to the bottom of the carb, and routes around to the left side toward the wheel well. Any idea what's going on here? It ran fine the last time I had it out.
      Thanks...

      1999 yamaha kodiak 400 4x4 fuse issue
      By disturbedmike244
      I have a 99 kodiak 400 4x4 that blows a fuse under the back left fender as soon as you attempt to put a new one in even with the key turned off. I'm having a hard time finding any wiring diagrams that show what this is for. And I'm trying not to have to tear into the wire harness. Any help would be appreciated.

      Brake handle question
      By mga
      on my left brake handle (for the rear brakes) there's two wires attached to it. What are these wires for? They can't be for the tail light, since it only has on filament  I tried to trace them, but i got lost in the harness. I checked wiring schematics, but didn't see anything like that.
      I'll post a pic later.

      1998 YFM400 Kodiak 400 Bogs at 3/4 throttle
      By Does_This_Look_Bent?
      Hey everyone, I just replaced the carp on my 98 Kodiak 400 with PN#4SH-14101-00-00. It starts and idles perfect, but once it’s good and warmed up, it bogs out at 3/4 throttle or more… it sounds like it’s bouncing off a rev limiter haha… I tried the air fuel screw, all the way in and out 2-1/2, and it made it a touch better… tried 2 turns and no different. Am I missing something?
