2012 Yamaha Rhino 700 FI Auto 4×4 Camo AP HD Key Features:
686cc, liquid-cooled, SOHC, 4-valve, fuel injected, 4-stroke single is a proven performer with excellent performance and a great durability record
Mikuni 41mm throttle body fuel injection provides the precise fuel/air mixture regardless of outside air temperature or altitude for crisp throttle response. Other FI benefits include choke-free cold starting, reduced emissions and great fuel economy.
The engine’s “mid ship” location centralizes mass in the centre of the Rhino for responsive handling and great suspension performance.
Key operated electric starting and maintenance-free transistor controlled ignition (TCI).
Four-valve combustion chamber design maximizes breathing efficiency providing a potent combination of low-rpm torque and right-now throttle response.
Automatic cam chain tensioner reduces mechanical engine noise and reduces maintenance.
Ceramic-composite plated cylinder liner provides reduced friction, excellent heat dissipation, outstanding durability and reduced weight.
Lightweight forged piston rides on a carburized, chrome-moly connecting rod for great durability.
Dual engine counterbalancers and rubber-damper engine mounts reduce vibration for great operator and passenger comfort.
Easy access, tools free air box design makes it simple to service the re-useable foam air filter. The air filter intake is located under the front hood and helps to reduce intake noise for even greater rider and passenger comfort. Plus it is high mounted to avoid water ingestion.
High capacity aluminium radiator with ring-type cooling fan delivers maximum cooling efficiency even during hot slow speed work days.
Forward mounted aluminium oil cooler maintains consistent lubricant temperatures for great engine durability. Both the main radiator and oil cooler are located high and inboard of the main frame for extra protection.
Convenient automotive style spin-on oil filter.
Quiet, full stainless steel exhaust system resists corrosion and features a screen-type spark arrestor to protect the environment.
Fully automatic Ultramatic™ transmission is the most advanced drive system in the ORV world. Not only is it simple to use . . . select a forward gear, step on the gas pedal and go, but it also provides all wheel downhill engine braking to reduce brake wear while providing great control. The key feature of Yamaha’s exclusive Ultramatic CVT system is the V-belt is under constant tension (unlike a snowmobile CVT) and therefore provides superior no-slip performance, instant hook-up and significantly reduced belt wear.
Easy to use, console mounted “automotive style” shift lever … just like on a car.
Fully automatic “Ultramatic” CVT (constantly variable transmission) offers reverse, neutral, high and low ranges. The low range mode improves towing power while also improving “terrainability” in difficult conditions.
Sealed CVT belt case keeps out water and debris to help prevent belt slippage and wear. Convenient no tools required belt case drain plug … just in case.
CVT cooling ducts (intake and exhaust) are high-mounted to help prevent water and mud from entering the CVT system while also keeping CVT components cool. Special fan design on the primary clutch sheave also reduces CVT temperatures for extended belt life
Straight design front and rear drive shafts provide more efficient power delivery and eliminate the need for “U” joints. The drive shafts exit on a straight line from the engine to the differentials
Servo-controlled “On-Command” system allows you to switch between various drive modes including 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and fully locked 4WD (both front & rear diff locked) – all with a turn of a convenient dash mounted knob. Yamaha’s “On-Command” system puts you in total control… you decide which is the best drive mode for the terrain … not the machine.
Dash mounted “On-Command” knob and indicator light lets you know what mode you are in.
