CAPABILITY

The Ultramatic® transmission is specifically tuned to provide lowered cruising rpm for smooth, quiet operation, and features a gated shifter with park, dual-range (Hi/Lo) drive and reverse gear. Even the position of the gated shifter was carefully considered, being moved forward to provide a roomier rider area.

COMFORT

The Kodiak 450 offers a riding position with the same roomy feel as the larger Kodiak 700. With tall handlebars, a seat that is long and plush for improved rider comfort, and large textured floorboards, every aspect of the Kodiak 450 was designed to bring class-leading levels of refinement to the middleweight 4x4 ATV segment.

CONFIDENCE

Yamaha ATVs feature marine-grade waterproof connectors for maximum weather-proofing, increased durability and improved serviceability.

CONFIDENCE

The Kodiak 450 transmission uses its own cooling intake to maintain proper temperatures, an oversized belt to handle the torque of the large motor and Yamaha’s unique sprag clutch to maintain constant belt tension. The end result is a drivetrain built for years of trouble-free service that leaves the competition in the dust, and is backed by the industry's only 10-Year V-Belt Limited Warranty.

- 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

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
