The EPS adds electric power steering, five-way adjustable shocks and a three-position On-Command with full diff lock. If you’ll ride for hours, the EPS is well worth it.

Common questions

What’s the 10-year belt warranty?

Yamaha’s Ultramatic CVT belt is covered for 10 years. It’s an unusual commitment in the ATV world and reflects how rarely the belt fails on these machines. Ask us for the specifics of the coverage.

Who can ride a Kodiak 700 in Virginia?

Virginia limits riders under 16 to ATVs of 90cc or less, so this is an adult machine. Every rider must wear an approved helmet, and ATVs aren’t allowed on public roads except to cross one by the most direct route.

Can I carry a passenger?

Not legally. Virginia prohibits passengers on an ATV unless it’s designed and equipped for more than one rider, and this one is built for one. If you want to ride two-up, look at the MAX version.
