Yamaha Raptor 700 Top Features
Yamaha Raptor 700 Feature Benefits
Aggressive Style
Aggressive styling makes the Raptor 700 look as menacing as it really is. The mighty Raptor 700 is ready to go whether the destination is the dunes, the trails, or the track.
Big-Bore Power
Powered by Yamaha’s most potent 686 cc, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected Raptor engine ever, this big bore sport ATV produces big torque right off idle, transitioning into a fat mid-range, and monstrous top-end.
Advanced Chassis
Big power and lightweight, a combination that makes any ATV rider take notice, come standard on the Raptor 700. With a hybrid steel aluminum frame, Controlled-Fill aluminum sub-frame, and cast aluminum swingarm, this combination produces a super strong structure and the lightest ATV in its class.
Rider-Friendly Features
A thick comfortable seat provides excellent comfort while the dual counterbalancers, electric starting, and reverse keep things nice and civilized when needed, but when it comes time to pull the trigger, the big bore Raptor 700 stands tall.
Advanced Suspension
The YFZ-inspired handling of the Raptor 700 is incredible to experience while blasting through the woods. Thanks to the 9.1 inches of front travel and 10.1 inches out back, the trail bumps smooth out while the rider keeps things under control. With the combination of power, solid handling, and a great suspension, this machine has to be experienced to be fully appreciated.
Yamaha Raptor 700 Engine
Smooth, Powerful Engine
The forged lightweight piston, connecting rod, and crankshaft in the 686 cc engine are light and strong for a hard-hitting, quick-revving powerplant that revs all the way to 9,000 rpm while the dual counterbalancers keep it smooth.
Advanced Fuel Injection
The Yamaha Fuel Injection (YFI) offers consistent and excellent engine performance in a wide range of conditions, elevations and temperatures.
Digital Ignition
The digital TCI with 32-bit electronic control unit controls fuel injection and ignition systems for consistent performance and fantastic throttle response.
Electric Starter
Reliable push-button electric start in any gear adds extra convenience.
Robust Transmission
Race-bred five-speed transmission with reverse, along with the Raptor 700’s monstrous powerband, means there’s a choice of gears in just about all situations. YZ-spec ratchet shifter ensures smooth, resistance-free shifting under power while the heavy-duty clutch features a sturdy basket and plates designed to harness the power.
Excellent Serviceability
Easy-to-reach oil filter and tool-free air filter provide added convenience.
Yamaha Raptor 700 Chassis/Suspension
High-Tech Chassis
The state-of-the-art chassis combines a steel front section with a YZ-style piggyback rear shock that gives 10.1-inch wheel travel along with preload adjustment.
Powerful Brakes
Twin aluminum-piston front disc brakes deliver tremendous stopping power. Discs are drilled, which helps reduce unsprung weight for excellent suspension compliance, with an additional twin-piston rear brake for maximum stopping power.
Aggressive Maxxis® Tires
High-performance front 22x10-9 and 20x10-9 rear Maxxis® tires with a specially designed tread pattern deliver superb, class-leading traction for razor-sharp handling in a variety of terrain and conditions.
Lightweight Wheels
Lightweight aluminum wheels help enhance suspension performance by reducing unsprung weight.
Wide Foot Pegs
Race-inspired 45 mm serrated foot pegs provide excellent boot traction.
Strong Frame
The Controlled-Fill aluminum subframe and composite front grab bar are both light yet strong.
Yamaha Raptor 700 Additional Features
Sporty Ergonomics
The long, YZ-style seat allows maximum rider comfort and movement with superb sport-riding ergonomics.
High Visibility Lighting
Multi-reflector 30-watt Krypton headlights that are set back in the front cowl add the perfect, no-compromises sporting accent, and an LED taillight provides great visibility.
Large Fuel Tank
Large-capacity, 2.9-gallon fuel tank and Yamaha Fuel Injection (YFI) mean more time on the trail between fill-ups.
Ergonomic Controls
Thumb throttle lever has a smooth shape for a feel riders will appreciate, creating less fatigue at the end of the day, while the handlebar-mounted flip-type parking brake lever is simple to use.
Yamaha Diagnostic Tool
For improved serviceability, the Raptor 700 is Yamaha Diagnostic Tool-ready.
