Within the Yamaha family of utility ATVs, the
Grizzly stood steadfast as the king of the
forest for years. Industry-leading features
coupled with top-of-the-line quality and the
plush ride Yamaha is known for, made the Grizzly
an unbeatable choice for any customer looking
for an ATV just as capable for work as it is for
play. Fast forward to 2007 and you see that the
all-new Grizzly 700 will continue to reign
supreme as it ups the ante with updates and
never before seen ATV technology added to its
already perfect pedigree.
For 2007 the Grizzly 700 leads the chase in
the department of technology. Sure, it continues
to feature Yamaha exclusives such as the proven
Ultramatic® automatic transmission system and On
Command® push-button four-wheel drive system,
and now the all-new Yamaha Fuel Injection system
(YFI) system, but the icing on the cake is the
industry-first EPS…Electric Power Steering. Yes,
you read that correctly, EPS on an ATV - talk
about plush!
The Yamaha Electric Power Steering system is
unparallel in the industry. The system allows
the rider to tackle the most gnarly, toughest
terrain with the least amount of effort, rider
fatigue and superior comfort. How, you ask? As
the rider turns the handlebars the electric
motor kicks in and assists in the turn. The
harder you turn, the more the EPS assist. The
torque-sensing EPS system senses the twisting
force put on the handlebars and wheels at which
point the electric motor jumps in to do its
thing. Best part is, not only does the EPS offer
light steering effort, but it also absorbs the
kickback that would usually be transferred to
the rider if you were to hit a log or rock
unexpectedly.
Although the EPS system attempts to steal the
spotlight, the additional changes to the Grizzly
700 round out an amazing all-new machine. The
new Grizzly 700 powerplant moves from 660cc to
686cc, and is adapted from Yamaha’s leading
sport ATV, the Raptor 700R, which gives the
Grizzly a sportier, fun ride even with the
engine tuned for true utility use. Of course,
those extra 26cc also mean additional power
throughout the entire rev range – most notable
is the enhanced low- to mid-range power.
Moving down the laundry list of updates to
the engine you’ll find a new forged piston for
reduced weight and added durability, while a new
aluminum cylinder body with composite coating
offers reduced weight, increased cooling ability
and additional wear resistance. The new roller
rocker arms reduce friction in the valve train,
which allows the engine to rev more freely
leading to better overall performance and
improved throttle response. Of course, the
ultra-convenient electric start feature
continues to make firing the liquid-cooled,
four-valve SOHC powerplant to life a snap.
Delivering all that power is the Ultramatic
automatic transmission system, with reverse, of
course. The transmission’s gearing ratio has
been revised, optimizing the additional power
and making full use of the powerband under a
variety of riding situations. Reverse is also
re-geared for easier operation. The Grizzly 700
offers the convenience of high- and low-range
gear options for times when low-end torque and
maximum pulling power are needed. The shift
lever is conveniently located on the left side,
and the other gear options include parking,
neutral and reverse.
The all-new gate shifter gives an improved
shift feeling, allowing the rider to easily see
what gear he has selected. Of course, this is
also easy to see on the redesigned LED display,
which offers dual trip meter, speedometer and
odometer in addition gear selection, fuel level
indicator, On Command indicator and EPS and fuel
injection indicator lights. The EPS and fuel
injection indictor lights let the rider know
when the systems need to be serviced per the
self diagnostic system.
The Yamaha Fuel Injection system (YFI) finds
its way to the Grizzly 700 after the spectacular
debut it made on the Raptor 700R last year. The
YFI improves throttle response throughout the
powerband, helping the rider take advantage of
that improved low- to mid-range power. YFI
offers unmatched performance at high elevation
as the system is able to detect and compensate
for changes in altitude. The more precise fuel
delivery offered by the YFI means clean power
delivery, better throttle response and improved
fuel economy under a multitude of riding
situations. In addition, YFI means no choke and
easier cold starting, which is great for those
early morning hunts or chores around the farm.
The three-way On-Command system featuring
push-button 2WD/4WD and 4WD with differential
lock is the perfect compliment to the Grizzly
700 powerhouse. Located on the right handlebar,
the push-button is at the rider’s fingertips to
command all four wheels as the terrain dictates.
The Grizzly 700 also features major changes
to styling, many of which are a direct result of
changes made to improve handling, make
serviceability a breeze, centralize mass and
give the vehicle a lower center of gravity.
First off is the relocated air box, which moves
from under the seat to the top of the engine.
This change means easier access and service for
the rider and the higher intake location will be
much appreciated by those riders that are fond
of deep water crossings. The fuel tank has also
been relocated and is now found mostly under the
seat as part of the mass centralization and to
lower CG. The new fuel tank features a
ratchet-type cap for improved quality feel.
Moving on down the body of this beast we find
a fully independent wishbone front and
independent rear suspension (IRS) – adjustable
in front and rear – offers the rider the
versatility to set-up the ATV for all riding
conditions. Featuring 7.1” of travel up front
and a class-leading 9.5” in the rear, the
Grizzly 660 is ready to tackle just about any
terrain. What’s more, 11.8” of ground clearance
makes it an unrivaled trail performer. The most
noticeable change here is a redesign to the
shape of the front and rear A-arms. This
slightly rounded new shape offers additional
ground clearance. Again helping achieve the low
CG feel, the suspension has found new mounting
points on a lower part of the frame and lower
A-arms.
As if one industry first with EPS wasn’t
enough, Yamaha has added a little something
extra to the brakes as well with four-wheel
hydraulic disc brakes. Most models see three
discs, two up front and one on the rear axle,
which controls braking for both rear wheels. In
the case of the 2007 Grizzly 700, brake calipers
are coupled to each wheel individually along
with a new brake master cylinder front and rear
for unmatched braking feel and power.
The Grizzly 700 also features all-new
ground-grabbing meats mounted to aluminum wheels
to get you moving. The all-new Dunlop tires
feature a new tread pattern, exclusive to Yamaha
for improved traction and rider comfort.
On the side of comfort and durability, we
find the Grizzly 700 boasting a 32mm thicker
seat and redesigned, larger floorboards for even
more protection from the elements. The new
design of the floorboards also allow for better
drainage of mud and water. Two storage boxes – a
redesigned under seat box and an all-new box
found in the right front fender offer plenty of
carry capacity in a sealed, waterproof space.
This is of course in addition to the 99 lbs. and
187 lbs. of carry capacity on the front and rear
racks, respectively and the 1,212 lbs. of
towing. And, a new rack design and mounting
points allow for superior fit and finish with
Genuine Yamaha Accessories, which were designed
in tandem with the rack system.
The all-new 2007 Grizzly 700 4x4 is available
in Hunter Green, Steel Blue, Red and Realtree
Hardwoods High Definition Camo at Yamaha
dealerships nationwide beginning June 2006.
