• Still one of the best selling ATV's in Canada. Since 1998 Yamaha's Grizzly has dominated the ATV food chain. For 2007 the Grizzly was redesigned and then equipped with the Industry's first "Electric Power Steering". For 2009, you can save a few dollars and get a "standard" version without the EPS.

• Identical to the EPS Grizzly in every way but one. This new "standard" version of the Grizzly 700 offers you all of the same ground breaking features as the original, only minus the Electric Power Steering.

• Loaded with exclusive Yamaha features such as the "wide-arc" front a-arms, 4-wheel disc brakes, fully automatic Ultramatic transmission and push-button On-Command 4-wheel drive system, that have made the Grizzly 700 so successful. While the focus remains on lightweight handling and lightening response, this non-EPS version simply comes with a little bit better price tag.

Highlights:

• Raptor based 686cc fuel injected engine.
• 4-wheel disc brake
• "Wide-arc" front a-arms

Key Features:
Most powerful Grizzly ever: 686cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke engine and light weight add up to the best power-to-weight ratio of any utility model in the industry.
Electronic fuel injection means instantaneous cold starts and optimal performance in all conditions and at all altitudes.
Industry-exclusive, fully automatic Ultramatic® transmission is the most advanced drive system in ATV-ing. An automatic centrifugal clutch maintains constant belt tension for reduced belt wear and industry-exclusive all-wheel downhill engine braking.
Industry-exclusive, three-position On-Command® In/Out 4WD feature lets you switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and fully locked differential 4WD - all with the simple push of a button.
Fully independent long-travel four-wheel suspension with WideArc A-arms up front and five-way preload-adjustable shocks provides maximum ground clearance for unparalleled comfort over rough terrain.
Trick digital instrument panel boasts a multifunction LCD display with speedometer, odometer, dual tripmeter, hourmeter, 4WD status, transmission position, clock and fuel gauge.

Engine:
Raptor-based four-valve combustion chamber design produces a potent combination of low-rev torque, right-now throttle response and high horsepower.
Compact engine design features a 35-degree cylinder angle for ground clearance and lower seat height for quick steering and maneuverability.
Electronic fuel injection provides a perfect fuel/air mixture regardless of temperature or altitude, and makes cold starts a snap.
Gear-driven crankshaft balancer shaft and new-design rubber-damper engine mounts reduce vibration.
Ceramic-composite cylinder liners provide outstanding durability and heat dissipation; forged piston is light and strong and rides a carburized, chrome-moly connecting rod.
Two-lobe overhead cam and a pair of needle-roller rocker arms reduce friction by 50 percent for increased fuel efficiency and torque.
Mikuni® fuel injection with 44mm bore and throttle position sensor means easy cold starts and flawless fuel delivery in nearly any condition.
Stainless steel exhaust system features aluminum heat shields and a screen-type spark arrestor for great power with minimum noise output.
High-capacity aluminum radiator with fan-assist delivers maximum cooling efficiency and is positioned high in the frame for optimal protection.
Automatic cam chain tensioner reduces engine maintenance and helps extend engine life.
Five-position shift lever with H, L, N, R and P gates provides positive Ultramatic transmission operation.
Override button allows engine to make maximum rpm in full Diff Lock mode.
Electronic servo-activated 2WD/4WD/Diff Lock via the On-Command® system.
Sealed drive case keeps out water and debris to help prevent belt from slipping.

Chassis/Suspension:
Comfortable chassis provides outstanding handling and maneuverability.
WideArc front suspension A-arms provide outstanding ground clearance.
Five-way preload-adjustable shocks provide a controlled, comfortable ride, whatever the load or trail conditions.
Four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes serve up consistent, long-lasting braking power under all sorts of nasty conditions.
5.3-gallon fuel tank is located under the seat for excellent mass centralization and handling; there’s a 4.8-liter waterproof storage compartment under there, too.
11.8 inches of ground clearance and full-length composite skidplate deliver maximum underbelly protection while enhancing terrainability.
25x8-12 front and 25x10-12 rear Dunlop® tires provide responsive steering and handling and excellent comfort.
Rugged injection-molded front bumper and CV joint guards protect against rock and debris damage.

Additional Features:
An analog speedometer shows your velocity at a glance.
LCD instrument display contains fuel injection information, as well as bar-type fuel gauge, odometer, trip meter, clock, and Diff Lock indicator.
Rugged steel cargo racks with special, extra-durable wrinkle paint finish can pack a total of 286 pounds combined (99 front, 187 rear).
