2013 Yamaha Grizzly 700 FI Auto 4x4 EPS SE Review

The Special Edition version of our famed Grizzly 700 EPS includes all the features of the standard model, plus cast aluminum wheels and special colour and graphics.

We took our most powerful fuel-injected engine and wrapped it in our toughest, most advanced chassis. The result? An ATV with one of the best power-to-weight ratios around.

Add in Yamaha's industry-first electric power steering system, Ultramatic Transmission, On-Command System, a thick seat and long-travel four-wheel independent suspension and you can hear the competition trembling. The SE model gets the special treatment with cast aluminum wheels, and special colour and graphics!

2013 Yamaha Grizzly 700 FI Auto 4x4 EPS SE Key Features:

• The most powerful Grizzly ever: 686cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke engine and light weight has the best power-to-weight ratio of any Yamaha utility ATV.
• Yamaha Fuel Injection means instantaneous cold starts and optimal performance in nearly any condition, from sea level to 15,000 feet.
• Industry first: Electric Power Steering system lightens steering for superior comfort and terrainability.
• Industry-exclusive, fully automatic Ultramatic® transmission is the most advanced drive system in ATVs. An automatic centrifugal clutch maintains constant belt tension for reduced belt wear and uses a sprag clutch for all-wheel downhill engine braking in 4WD mode and reverse.
• Three-position On-Command® In/Out 4WD feature lets you switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and a fully locked differential 4WD—all with the simple push of a button. Override button allows engine to make maximum rpm in full Diff. Lock mode.
• Fully independent long-travel four-wheel suspension features double-wishbone suspension front and rear with five-way preload-adjustable shocks for maximum control and comfort over rough terrain. Smoothest-running and -riding Grizzly ever.
•Trick digital instrument panel boasts a multifunction LCD display with speedometer, odometer, dual tripmeter, hour meter that counts the engine’s running hours, 4WD status, transmission position, clock and fuel gauge.

2013 Yamaha Grizzly 700 FI Auto 4x4 EPS SE Features and Benefits:

• Mikuni® fuel injection with 44mm bore and throttle position sensor means easy cold starts and flawless fuel delivery in nearly any condition.

• Straight driveshaft layout eliminates U-joints for reduced friction, noise, vibration and maintenance.
• Stainless steel exhaust system features aluminum heat shields and a screen-type spark arrestor for great power with minimum noise output.
• High-capacity radiator with fan-assist delivers maximum cooling efficiency and is positioned high in the frame for optimal protection.
• Automatic cam chain tensioner reduces engine maintenance and helps extend engine life.
• Override button allows engine to make maximum rpm in full Diff. Lock mode.

• Five-way preload-adjustable shocks provide a comfortable ride, whatever the load or trail conditions.
• Gas charged rear shocks offer a quality damping feel and excellent performance over a long period of time.
• Four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes serve up consistent, long-lasting braking power under all sorts of nasty conditions.
• Electric power steering varies assist according to speed and torque for increased comfort and incredible maneuverability— even in 4WD.
• 5.3-gallon fuel tank is located under the seat for excellent mass centralization and handling; there’s a 4.8-liter water-resistant storage compartment under there, too.
• 11.8 inches of ground clearance and full-length composite skidplate deliver maximum underbelly protection while enhancing terrainability.
• 25x8-12 front and 25x10-12 rear Maxxis® tires provide responsive steering and handling along with excellent comfort.
