Description
ENGINE
- 421 cc, liquid-cooled, SOHC, 2-valve, fuel injected, single
- Proven design with an excellent reliability record
- Engine uses regular unleaded fuel
- Rubber engine mounts reduce vibration & noise for excellent rider comfort
- Electric starting
- Includes auto decompression system for fast, easy starts
- SOHC, 2-valve cylinder head design

- Short skirt forged aluminum piston
- Lightweight design means faster throttle response & less mechanical vibration
- Gear driven engine balancer shaft
- Reduces engine vibration for improved rider comfort
- 34 mm Mikuni throttle body fuel injection system with TPS & ISC
- TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) is used to more precisely calculate the fuel injection quantity for optimum power, excellent throttle response & reduced fuel consumption
- ISC (Idle Speed Control) helps ensure a steady idle even during warm up
- Other fuel injection benefits include; choke-free starting, excellent fuel economy & reduced emissions
- Throttle limiter
- Easy to adjust, screw-type throttle limiter
- Throttle limiter reduces acceleration & top speed if desired
- High mounted, high capacity air box with washable foam air filter
- No tools required to access air filter
- Washable foam filter can be re-used reducing tune-up costs
- High mounted design helps prevent water ingestion
- Air box features a “no tools required” drain
- Yamaha’s industry leading Ultramatic® CVT (fully automatic) dual range transmission with reverse & downhill engine braking
- Dual range, high – low transmission with reverse. Low range offers more “grunt” for towing or hauling heavy loads or when tackling technical terrain
- CVT automatically selects the optimum transmission ratio, meaning you are always in the right “gear”
- Ultramatic® design offers controllable, confidence inspiring downhill engine braking
- Downhill engine braking also reduces brake wear & related servicing
- Ultramatic® design utilizes a special centrifugal clutch which keeps constant tension on the V-belt, reducing belt wear since the belt does not slip as the clutches engage
- High mounted belt cooling ducts help prevent water ingestion
- V-belt housing has an easy access “no tools required” drain plug
- Automotive style, gated, 5-postion shifter (high, low, neutral, reverse & park)
- Convenient, handlebar mounted push button On-Command®
- 2WD, 4WD limited-slip and 4WD with diff lock
- On-Command® system lets you select the best mode for the conditions … not the machine
- Straight design front & rear drive shafts
- Straight driveshaft layout eliminates U-joints, reducing friction, noise & vibration
- Front & rear CV drive shafts feature heavy duty plastic boots to protect the CV joints from mud & water penetration for extended service life
- High capacity cooling system with electric cooling fan
- 53% more cooling capacity than the last generation Kodiak 450
- Maintains consistent engine temperatures for optimum performance
- Radiator is positioned high in the frame for protection
- Design reduces heat reaching the rider
- Wet sump lubrication system
- Spin on type oil filter for fast, easy oil changes
- Oil drain plug access hole in skid plate
- Maintenance-free transistor controlled TCI ignition
- Produces a strong spark for fast starts
- Provides precise ignition timing / mapping for optimum engine performance at all rpms
- Marine style, waterproof connectors on key electrical components.
- Stainless steel exhaust system with catalyzer & cleanable spark arrestor
- Spark arrestor prevents stray sparks from exiting the exhaust
- Catalyzer reduces exhaust emissions
- Stainless steel design helps prevent rusting
- Air Injection System (AIS) injects fresh air into exhaust port to fully burn any unburnt fuel, reducing exhaust emissions
