Yamaha Raptor 700R ATV Key Features

  • Raptor 700R Special Edition includes wave-style rear brake disc, dealer-installed GYTR front grab bar and heel guards, plus special graphics and colors.
  • 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
    .

Yamaha Raptor 700R ATV Engine

  • 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 (YFI) 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 t hrottle 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 provide added convenience.

Yamaha Raptor 700R ATV Chassis/Suspension

  • 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.
  • Piggyback shocks provide excellent sport-riding comfort, with high- and low-speed compression adjustability, rebound and preload adjustability, and 9.1-inch travel.
  • 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.
  • Twin aluminum-piston front disc brakes deliver tremendous stopping power. Discs are drilled, which helps reduce unsprung weight for excellent suspension compliance.
  • Cast aluminum swingarm carries an 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.
  • Race-inspired 45mm serrated foot pegs provide excellent boot traction.
  • Controlled-fill aluminum subframe is light and strong. So is the composite front grab bar.

  • Inner rolled wheels reduce weight while maintaining strength.
  • Long, YZ-style seat allows maximum rider comfort and movement with superb sport-riding ergonomics.
  • Multireflector 30-watt Krypton headlights set back in the front cowl add the perfect no-compromises sporting accent, and an LED taillight provides great visibility.

  • Thumb throttle lever has a smooth shape for a feel riders will appreciate, with less fatigue at the end of the day.
  • Styling is sharp and aggressive.
