Engineered by Yamaha for the atv motorcycle segment, the 2018 Yamaha Kodiak 700 pairs a 708 cc (43.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 103.0 x 85.0 mm (4.1 x 3.3 inches) with a 10.1:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Kodiak 700 measures 299.8 kg (661 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 860 mm (33.9 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,230 mm (48.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 18.02-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
