The Kodiak is still making startup noises, and I'm getting deeper into the motor... Episode 2.

The 2001 Yamaha Kodiak 400 has been making a terrible noise when I try to start it. The noise has been getting progressively worse, but now it's really bad. So bad, that occasionally it won't turn over at all and I have to try multiple times. Last week I swapped starters. This week I'm taking the engine apart to inspect the 1-way bearing. Hopefully I can find the source of this noise!

I know I said in the last video that it was a 2002, but turns out I was wrong and this is a 2001. That one year difference is going to be a pretty big deal when I start ordering parts...

This is part 2 of this mini-series. Tune in again for the next episode!

This starting system is very similar in all the Kodiaks around this age, and is even similar in the Grizzly models.

Thank you so much for choosing to come along with me on this journey. I really appreciate every viewer and every subscriber!
