2005 Yamaha YFM400 Kodiak

Light. Nimble. Quick.
Words one doesn’t usually associate with a creature as huge as the Kodiak. Ah, but our bear — the Kodiak™ Automatic 4x4 - is an entirely different animal altogether.

For starters, the Kodiak’s won virtually every award possible by simply overrunning and outcarving every machine in the automatic four-by forest. No surprise there really, considering this Bear’s lethal combination of features -

• Ultra-lightweight, CAD-designed chassis
• Powerful liquid-cooled, 401cc thumper
• Fully automatic Ultramatic® transmission and push-button On-Command® In/Out 4WD
• Stainless steel muffler and header.
• Class-leading high ground clearance (9.7")
• Low seat height (32.6")
  
  ... all for superb performance, handling, and comfort.

New for 2005 -

• Independent rear suspension greatly enhances Kodiak’s off-road performance as well as its ride comfort.
• Tough new styling backs up the heavy-duty performance.
• Hydraulic rear disc brake provides superior, fade-free stopping power under all conditions.

In fact, there’s not much this exceptionally capable Kodiak doesn’t have. Nowhere in the industry will you find a an ATV like this that offers more machine for the money. And that, of course, makes it not only a different animal, but a very special one as well.
