2012 Yamaha Bruin 350 Auto 4×4 Key Features:

The Bruin 350 is powered by an awesome 348cc, four-stroke, SOHC, single, air-cooled engine complete with Yamaha’s unbeatable reliability and durability as a standard feature.

Convenient electric starting in any gear, with recoil backup for added peace of mind.

Fully automatic transmission with engine brake for increased rider confidence, reduced brake component wear, and no freewheeling when off gas or down hills.

Push-button servo-controlled On-Command system allows you to switch between 2WD and limited-slip 4WD with the simple push of a dash mounted button. Real 4-wheel drive when you need it puts you in control. You decide when you need 4WD, the machine doesn’t decide for you.

Underneath those good looks you’ll find a full-sized chassis, means there’s plenty of room for both rider and gear up top.

Triple hydraulic disc brakes make quick work of slowing down this bear.

Maxxis tires offer traction over a wide variety of terrain, including mud, rock, sand, and hard packed trail, without compromising ride comfort.

The dual 30-watt Krypton multi-reflector sealed headlights (with replaceable bulbs) provide excellent lighting. They’re sealed to prevent water from seeping in, which also simplifies maintenance.

Integrated floorboards combined with rugged full-size fenders keep the Bruin rider comfortable and dry.

Detachable trailer hitch with 20mm diameter hole centred for easy towing up to 500 kg (1100 lb) capacity.

Basic speed and warning lights on an analogue speedometer

Forward, neutral and reverse on single-range transmission

Key electrical components located under seat (fuses /starter solenoid /CDI Igniter / numerous relays) for added protection against Mother Nature

Steel reinforced plastic floorboards with raised integrated serrated foot pegs for excellent traction regardless of conditions

Handlebar-mounted choke lever that can be operated with gloves or mitts

Marine-style sealed electrical connectors help prevent water from entering electrical components and wiring

Large capacity front and rear racks, with crinkle coat paint process for superior corrosion resistance
