The Kodiak 700 is one of the most dependable utility quads on the market, which is exactly why so many owners ride it into places Yamaha probably never pictured. Deep creek crossings and swamp holes are hard on any machine, but a few smart upgrades make a big difference.
Our Yamaha Kodiak 700 2016-2023 Radiator Relocation/Snorkel Combo Kit pairs a radiator relocation bracket with the Going Deep Snorkel Kit, and it includes all hoses and hardware.
Fitment first
This combo kit is listed for the Yamaha Kodiak 700 from 2016 through 2023. Yamaha has built several similar-looking utility models, so check your exact model and year against the listing before you order. If your Kodiak already has aftermarket parts up front, like a winch or bumper, think about how a relocated radiator and snorkel tubes will sit alongside them. A quick call before ordering can save you a headache.
What is in the kit
Everything needed for both upgrades comes in one box:
- Radiator relocation bracket
- Going Deep Snorkel Kit
- All hoses
- All hardware
Having the hoses included matters, because the radiator sits farther from the engine once it is relocated and the factory lines will not reach.
Install overview
Most owners split the job into two parts. For the radiator, you drain the coolant, remove the plastics in the way, pull the radiator from the factory mount, install the relocation bracket and set the radiator in its new spot. Then you route the hoses, refill the coolant and bleed the air out of the system.
For the snorkel, you route the snorkel tubes from the intake and CVT up to a higher point on the machine and secure every connection tightly. Take your time sealing each joint. A snorkel only works if water cannot sneak in at a loose fitting. When you are done, start the engine, check for coolant leaks, and let it warm up to make sure the fan kicks on.
Why do both at once
The places where a Kodiak needs a snorkel are the same places that bury a stock radiator in mud. Doing both together means one round of removing plastics, one install session and parts that work together. If you have questions about fitment or the install, call the Wild Boar team at 850-912-4350.
