The original and Still the beast…
Lightweight and proven durability combine to help this feature-laden ATV navigate the toughest terrain.

2012 Yamaha Grizzly 700 FI Auto 4×4 Highlights:
Key selling points:
1
This most powerful Grizzly ever: 686cc liquid-cooled,
four-stroke engine and light weight has the best
power-to-weight ratio of any Yamaha utility model.
2
Steel Blue model includes cast aluminum wheels.
3
Yamaha Fuel Injection means instantaneous
cold starts and optimal performance in nearly any
condition, from sea level to 15,000 feet.
4
Industry-exclusive, fully automatic Ultramatic®
transmission is the most advanced drive system in
ATVs. An automatic centrifugal clutch maintains
constant belt tension for reduced belt wear and uses
a sprag clutch for all-wheel downhill engine braking
in 4WD mode.
5
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.
6
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.
7
Advanced digital instrument panel boasts a
multifunction LCD display with speedometer,
odometer, dual tripmeter, hour meter, 4WD status,
transmission position, clock and fuel gauge.
8
The Grizzly 700 boasts the lightest weight in its class
at 648 pounds wet weight.

and torque.

sensor means easy cold starts and flawless fuel delivery in

assembly to protect the starter motor.

U-joints for reduced friction, noise, vibration, and maintenance.

and a screen-type spark arrestor for great power with minimum
noise output.
o High-capacity aluminum radiator with fan-assist delivers
maximum cooling efficiency and is positioned high in the frame
for optimal protection.

helps extend engine life.
o Five-position shift lever with H, L, N, R and P gates provides
positive Ultramatic transmission operation.
o Override button allows engine to make maximum rpm in full Diff.

ground clearance.
o Five-way preload-adjustable shocks provide a comfortable ride,
whatever the load or trail conditions.
o Four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes serve up consistent,
long-lasting braking power under all sorts of nasty conditions.
o 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.
o 11.8 inches of ground clearance and full-length composite
skidplate deliver maximum underbelly protection while
enhancing terrainability.
o 25×8-12 front and 25×10-12 rear Maxxis® tires provide responsive
steering and handling along with excellent comfort.
