The Yamaha Fuel Injection system (YFI) improves
throttle response throughout the powerband,
helping the rider take advantage of the Grizzly’s
low- to mid-range power. YFI offers unmatched
performance at high elevation and in frigid
weather as the system is able to detect and
compensate for changes in altitude and temperature.
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
weather starting.
An open gate shifter found on the left side
of the handlebars allows the rider to easily
switch between High, Low, Neutral, Reverse
and Park. This is also easy to see on the
multifunction LCD display, which offers dual
trip meter, speedometer, hour meter, odometer
and clock, in addition to the gear selection,
fuel level indicator, On-Command™ indicator
and EPS and fuel injection indicator lights.

Comfort and convenience were also incorporated
throughout the Grizzly 700 and 550. The air
box is located on the top of the engine providing
easier service access for the rider, and the
fuel tank is placed under the seat for maximum
centralization of mass. Keeping the ride comfortable
while also allowing for maximum terrainability
is fully independent and adjustable front
and rear suspension with 7.1 inches of travel
up front and a class-leading 9.5 inches in
the rear. The Grizzly’s wide-arc A-arms
provide 11.8 inches of more usable ground
clearance. What’s more, the Grizzly
700 and 550 offer unmatched braking feel and
power with four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes
engaged by separate front and rear controls
with hydraulic master cylinders mounted on
the handle bars. The rear brake also has a
right foot pedal control.

The Grizzly also has a thick, plush seat
and full floorboards for comfort and protection
from the elements. The design of the floorboards
also allows for better drainage of mud and
water. Two water resistant storage boxes --
one under the seat and another in the right
front fender -- offer plenty of storage. This
is in addition to the 99 pounds and 187 pounds
of carrying capacity on the front and rear
racks, respectively, and the 1,322 pounds
of towing. The ATV’s SecureMount rack
system offers superior fit and finish with
Genuine Yamaha Accessories that are designed
to fit with factory quality.
