Positioned in Yamaha's atv motorcycle lineup, the 2020 Yamaha Kodiak 700 features a 686 cc (41.9 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 102.0 x 84.0 mm (4.0 x 3.3 inches) with a 10.1:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Kodiak 700 measures 301 kg (664 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 1,250 mm (49.2 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.
