Kodiak Starting Issues (mini-series) - WHAT IS THAT AWFUL NOISE? - Episode 1 - Starter Swap

The 2002 Yamaha Kodiak 400 has started making a terrible noise when I try to start it. It 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. Today I'm going to dig into the starting system to see if I can identify and correct this issue once and for all!

This is just Episode 1 of the series. Be sure to check back next Saturday for Episode 2! I will eventually find and fix the issue, I promise!

This starting system is very similar in all the Kodiaks around this age, and is even similar in the Grizzly models. Today's episode will even demonstrate that the starter from a Grizzly will work in this Kodiak!

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