While at my dealer today I asked them how many of the 708’s they had seen with the oil consumption problem and the service manager told me none. He said they sold hundreds of the 700 Grizzlies & Kodiaks during those years and none have had any oil issues but they are aware of the service bulletin for it.

So I downloaded the service bulletin from the link below so I could determine if my Kodiak serial # is included for the repairs even though my 2017 doesn’t use any oil. My serial # is way different than any of the 2017 serial numbers listed that are affected. I find this interesting, so must be not all 708’s made during the 3 years are affected. Yamaha must have it narrowed down to only those 708’s that were assembled at a certain facility would be my guess and they got piston rings from a different vendor. I think it would be interesting to know if anyone on this forum is having the oil consumption issue and their serial # isn’t on the bulletin like mine?

That’s the Canadian Bulletin right?
