Welcome to the site Yam-Kodiak 
Did you get a 400 or a 450 Kodiak?
My '03 450 does have the reverse limiter as well as the diff lock limiter. The 400 doesn't have a diff lock but knowing Yamaha I'd say it's a safe bet reverse has a limiter.
It's tough to say regarding mileage as these machines see such varied conditions. Will you be trail riding all day or bogging through the mud? I can say you'll use a heck of a lot less fuel in a day than you'll use on a sled.
Good luck with your new machine and ride safe.

Sledder Steve,
I got a 400 Kodiak. I heard 45-50 mph is about top end is this true. Mostly i will be riding trails in mich and wisc. is the reverse limiter is as bad as everyone says it is. Like can't back up over a small rock? can it be bypassed. Do you think this is a good unit for trail running ,exploring and running some of the logging roads give some input on this if you can, My buddy is buying a griz the same day there will i atleast be able to keep him in my sights on the trails ?

Hey Randy Congrats on the Kodiak. It should do close to 50 mph whereas a Grizz will do mid 60's. As long as you are not doing alot of wide open stuff you will be able to keep up to the Grizz. The Kodiak's are very nimble and easy to throw around compared to a Grizz. As far as the reverse is concerned I don't think it is to big of a deal. Most people complain when they are stuck in mud and trying to back up with the wheels spinning and then the limiter kicks in. You can bypass it with some of the info that is out there but I don't think its 100% necessary to do that.

Great machine for trail riding.
I agree with Kevin, the reverse limiter thing has kind of been blown out of proportion. You'll be able to back up over rocks and all sorts of things.
Unless you're riding a lot of RR grades or similar wide open territory you'll be right there with your buddy on his Grizz.
You're going to have lots of fun.
