The class‑leading Kodiak 700 EPS Special Edition is ready for work or play with cast aluminum wheels to compliment painted plastics and eye‑catching graphics.
New 700-Class Engine
For 2019, Yamaha’s engineers wanted to boost the midrange performance of the big bore Kodiak 700 EPS SE even further, to put power right where you use it most. At the same time, the new motor features redesigned engine mounts, so despite the increase in performance, it runs even smoother than before.
High-Performance Ultramatic® Transmission
Kodiak 700 EPS SE's Ultramatic® transmission features a gated shifter, dual-range (Hi/Lo) drive plus reverse gear, and is the most advanced— and durable—CVT drive system available. An automatic centrifugal clutch maintains constant belt tension for reduced belt wear and a sprag clutch delivers natural all-wheel engine braking.
New Engine Built to Explore
Packing practical, fun and usable power, the Kodiak 700 EPS SE’s motor balances big bore power with a strong midrange. The Kodiak 700 EPS SE features a new 700-class engine for 2019 with optimized torque, power delivery and engine character that is fun and exciting on trails while still being smooth and quiet when exploring trails or on the job site.
Yamaha’s Exclusive On-Command 4WD
The three-position On-Command® 4WD system lets you switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and a fully locked differential 4WD all with the simple push of a button. An override button allows engine to reach maximum rpm in full diff lock mode, and a straight driveshaft layout eliminates U-joints for reduced friction, noise, vibration, and maintenance.
High-Mounted Air Intake
Tackle mud and water thanks to the Kodiak 700 EPS SE’s highmounted air intake layout. The design increases power and torque while providing additional room for on-board storage and easy, toolless servicing of the foam air filter.
Stainless Steel Exhaust
To maintain clean-running performance for years, the Kodiak 700 EPS SE uses a stainless steel exhaust system and features a screen-type spark arrestor for great power with minimum noise output.
High-Capacity Radiator
Slow-speed technical riding can place a lot of thermal demands on a liquid-cooled motor, so the Kodiak 700 EPS SE features a highcapacity radiator with fan assist that delivers plenty of air flow for maximum cooling efficiency—and it’s positioned high in the frame for optimal protection.
Drive System Air Intake
Specially designed, high-mounted drive system air intake helps reduce drive system temperatures and assists in keeping water and debris from entering the drive case.
High-Performance Tires
Maximizing available traction, the Kodiak 700 EPS SE features 25-inch Maxxis® tires that provide precise steering feel and feedback.
Strong, Durable Brakes
Strong and reliable braking comes standard on every Kodiak 700 EPS SE thanks to hydraulic front disc brakes matched with a sealed wet rear brake system.
Generous Ground Clearance
To handle nearly any terrain with ease, the Kodiak 700 EPS SE offers an impressive 11.3 inches of maximum ground clearance and fulllength composite skid plates, for maximum underbelly protection.
Independent Double Wishbone Front and Rear Suspension
Independent double wishbone suspension, with 7.1” of front wheel travel and 9.1” at the rear, provides excellent rider comfort even on the toughest trails, thanks to nitrogen-charged shocks with 5-way adjustable preload.
Class-Leading Power Steering
Minimize fatigue and attack every corner with Yamaha’s Electric Power Steering (EPS), the industry’s best balance of electric steering assist and positive trail feedback.
Underseat Fuel Tank
An optimized 4.76-gallon fuel tank is located under the seat for excellent mass centralization and handling.
Compact Ergonomics
A plush seat improves rider comfort for extended days exploring every trail, with plenty of room for the rider to move during aggressive riding. And despite the full-size performance, the Kodiak 700 EPS SE features a more compact body design similar to a mid-sized ATV, to ease overall feel and handling.
New Instrument Package
For 2019, the Kodiak 700 EPS SE receives a new instrument cluster with larger all-LCD readouts for visibility.
Aggressive and Durable Styling
Rugged composite front bumper resists scratching and won’t rust, while injection-molded fenders and CV joint guards protect against rock and debris damage.
Brilliant Lighting
Paired halogen headlights ensures good visibility, while a handlebarmounted halogen work light provides additional illumination that moves with rider input for added flexibility. The LED taillights are bright and long-lasting, too.
Ready for Accessories
The Kodiak 700 EPS SE was engineered in concert with a range of accessories for perfect fit and function, for nearly every type of ride you can find. With a standard 12V power point, you can keep devices charged, too.
Extensive Cargo Capacity
Rugged, large-diameter steel cargo racks with durable wrinkle paint finish can pack a total of 308 pounds combined (110 lbs. front, 198 lbs. rear). An on-board storage compartment keeps things dry, too.
Work-Ready Tow Capacity
Center-mounted, heavy-duty two-inch receiver comes standard on Kodiak 700 EPS SE and can tow more than 1300 pounds.
Built Real World Tough™, Assembled in the USA
As with other Yamaha ATVs and Side-by-Sides, the Kodiak 700 EPS SE is assembled in the USA to meet Yamaha’s exacting standards for durability and reliability.
