2012 Yamaha Raptor 700 Sport ATV

A 686cc Yamaha fuel-injected engine makes this the most powerful Yamaha sport ATV ever, with big torque right off idle, transitioning into a fat mid-range and monstrous top end.
The Raptor 700R SE comes standard with a digital meter. Riders have plenty of information available at a glance, including speedometer, dual trip meters,
odometer, clock and engine warning indicators, plus neutral and reverse indicators.
Sport-tuned piggyback shocks provide long stroke for excellent sport-riding comfort, and are fully adjustable with convenient adjustment knobs to fine-tune the ride.
Hybrid steel and aluminum frame with a Controlled- Fill aluminum subframe and cast aluminum swingarm combine to produce a super-strong structure and the lightest ATV in its class.
Aggressive styling reflects Raptor 700R SE’s intent, and YFZ-inspired handling means it walks the walk, too.
Long-travel suspension—9.1 inches front, 10.1 rear—a cush seat and excellent ergonomics make the Raptor 700R SE comfortable to ride hard
all day long.
Raptor 700R Special Edition includes wave-style rear brake disc, dealer installed GYTR® front grab bar and heel guards, plus special graphics and colors.

Forged lightweight piston, connecting rod and crankshaft in the 686cc engine are light and strong, for a hard-hitting, quick-revving powerplant that revs all the way to 9000 rpm. Dual counterbalancers keep it smooth.
Yamaha fuel injection means consistently excellent engine performance in a wide range of conditions, elevations and temperatures.
Competition-spec dry-sump lubrication system boosts usable horsepower and keeps overall engine size more compact.
Digital TCI w/16-bit electronic control unit controls fuel injection and ignition systems for consistent performance and fantastic throttle response.
Reliable pushbutton electric start in any gear adds extra convenience.
Race-bred five-speed transmission with reverse, along with Raptor 700R’s monstrous powerband, means there’s a choice of gears in just about all situations.
YZ-spec ratchet shifter ensures smooth, resistance-free shifting under power. Heavy-duty clutch features extra-sturdy basket and plates designed to harness the Raptor 700R’s power.
Easy-to-reach oil filter and tool-free air filter.

State-of-the-art chassis combines a steel front section with an aluminum rear section and detachable subframe to create a super-strong structure.
Compact, CAD-designed chassis creates the ideal wheelbase for light, quick, super-accurate steering.
YZ-style piggyback rear shock gives 10.1-inch wheel travel with high- and low-speed compression adjustability for maximum sport versatility, along with preload and rebound adjustment.
Front brake master cylinder features an adjustable lever for increased comfort and feel.
Drilled rear brake disc reduces unsprung weight for improved suspension action and excellent braking feel on the Raptor 700R SE.
Cast aluminum swingarm carries a eccentric quick-adjust drive chain mechanism that takes most of the work out of that task.
Handlebar-mounted flip-type parking brake lever and rear brake caliper adjust automatically.
High-performance 21x7-10 front and 20x10-9 rear Dunlop® radials with a specially designed tread pattern deliver superb, class-leading traction for razor-sharp handling in a variety of terrain and conditions.
Lightweight aluminum wheels help enhance suspension performance by reducing unsprung weight.
YFZ450 twin-aluminum-piston front disc brakes and rear disc deliver tremendous stopping power with less unsprung weight.
YFZ450 45mm serrated footpegs provide excellent boot traction.
Controlled-fill aluminum subframe is light and strong. So is the composite front grab bar.
