2023 Yamaha Motorsports KODIAK 450

DO‑IT‑ALL ATV
With an Ultramatic® automatic transmission, On?Command® 2WD/4WD and fuel injection, this ATV packs big performance into a mid?size machine.

Features May Include:

Compact Chassis
For precise handling and a confidence-inspiring ride in a variety of terrain conditions, Yamaha built the Kodiak 450 with a compact body design that is significantly less bulky than competitive models.

Front Disc Brakes and Sealed Wet Rear Brake
Hydraulic front disc brakes serve up powerful and consistent feel and braking performance to add to rider confidence, while the sealed rear brake is protected from dirt, rocks and mud.

Heavy Duty Tires
Rugged 25-inch tires feature an aggressive tread pattern and provide a balance of precise steering and optimized comfort to make the most of available traction.

Ready to Tow and Haul
Rugged, large-diameter steel cargo racks with durable wrinkle paint finish can pack a total of 264 pounds combined, and the Kodiak 450 can tow up to 1,322 pounds.

Smooth Fuel-Injected Engine
The torquey 421cc SOHC engine is designed to provide a balance of responsive power and smooth character for long riding days with minimal fatigue. Mikuni® fuel injection means easy cold starts and flawless fuel delivery in nearly any condition, while liquid-cooling and a high-volume fan system ensure reliable, consistent performance for years to come.

Terrain-Tackling Ground Clearance
The Kodiak 450 offers 9.6 inches of ground clearance and full-length composite skid plates to deliver maximum underbelly protection for a wide variety of terrain.

Ultramatic® Transmission
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.

Yamaha’s Exclusive On-Command® 4WD
The On-Command® 4WD system on the Kodiak 450 lets you switch between 2WD and limited-slip 4WD with the simple push of a button. This driver-controlled system eliminates hesitation or slipping while waiting for computer-controlled systems to engage, a common drawback in some competitor models.
