2015 Yamaha Raptor 700

2015 Yamaha Raptor 700


Yamaha Raptor 700 Key Features

  • Aggressive styling makes the Raptor 700R look as menacing as it really is. The mighty Raptor 700R is ready to go whether the destination is the dunes, the trails or the track.
  • Powered by our most potent big-bore Raptor engine ever – 686cc of liquid cooled, fuel-injected power. The engine produces big torque right off idle, transitioning into a fat mid-range and monstrous top-end.
  • Big power and lightweight, a combination that makes any ATV rider take notice, is standard on the Raptor 700R, with a hybrid steel aluminum frame and Controlled-Fill aluminum sub-frame and cast aluminum swingarm combining to produce a super-strong structure and the lightest ATV in its class.
  • A thick comfortable seat provides excellent comfort while the dual counterbalancers, electric starting, and reverse keep things nice and civilized when needed, but when it comes time to pull the trigger the big-bore Raptor 700R stands tall.
  • The YFZ inspired handling of the Raptor 700R is incredible to experience blasting through the woods. Thanks to the 9.1 inches of front travel and 10.1 inches out back, the trail bumps smooth out while the rider keeps things under control. With the combination of power, solid handling, and a great suspension, this machine has to be experienced to be fully appreciated.

Yamaha Raptor 700 New Features

  • An increase in compression from 9.2:1 to 10.0:1 produces more power – resulting in increased engine performance.
  • To further enhance engine performance for 2015, the cylinder head and piston have been redesigned, and valve timing and fuel injection mapping have been modified.
  • New suspension settings enhance rider comfort and reduce bottoming.
  • To optimize traction with the increased power a new front tire has been adapted.
  • A new durable and long-lasting X-ring drive chain is used to drive power to the rear wheels.
  • Raptor 700R is Yamaha Diagnostic Tool-ready for improved serviceability.

Yamaha Raptor 700 Engine

  • Forged lightweight piston, connecting rod and crankshaft in the 686cc engine are light and strong, for a hard-hitting, quick-revving powerplant that revs all the way to 9000 rpm.Dual counterbalancers keep it smooth.
  • Yamaha Fuel Injection (YFI) means consistently excellent engine performance in a wide range of conditions, elevations and temperatures.
  • Reliable pushbutton electric start in any gear adds extra convenience.
  • Race-bred five-speed transmission with reverse, along with Raptor 700’s monstrous powerband, means there’s a choice of gears in just about all situations.
  • YZ-spec ratchet shifter ensures smooth, resistance-free shifting under power. Heavy-duty clutch features extra-sturdy basket and plates designed to harness the Raptor 700’s power.
  • Easy-to-reach oil filter and tool-free air filter provide added convenience.

Yamaha Raptor 700 Chassis/Suspension

  • State-of-the-art chassis combines a steel front section with an aluminum rear section and detachable subframe to create a super-strong structure.
  • Compact, CAD-designed chassis creates the ideal wheelbase for light, YZ-style piggyback rear shock gives 10.1-inch wheel travel with highand low-speed compression adjustability for maximum sport versatility, along with preload and rebound adjustment.
  • Twin aluminum-piston front disc brakes deliver tremendous stopping power. Discs are drilled, which helps reduce unsprung weight for excellent suspension compliance.
  • Twin piston rear brake caliper for excellent stopping power on the trail or in the dunes.
  • Cast aluminum swingarm carries an eccentric quick-adjust drive chain mechanism that takes most of the work out of that task.
  • Handlebar-mounted flip-type parking brake lever.
  • A new, high-performance front 22x10-9 and existing 20x10-9 rear Maxxis® tires with a specially designed tread pattern deliver superb, class-leading traction for razor-sharp handling in a variety of terrain and conditions.
  • Lightweight aluminum wheels help enhance suspension performance by reducing unsprung weight.
  • Race-inspired 45mm serrated foot pegs provide excellent boot traction.
  • Controlled-fill aluminum subframe is light and strong. So is the composite front grab bar.

Yamaha Raptor 700 Additional Features
  • Long, YZ-style seat allows maximum rider comfort and movement with superb sport-riding ergonomics.
  • Multireflector 30-watt Krypton headlights set back in the front cowl add the perfect no-compromises sporting accent, and an LED taillight provides great visibility.
  • Large-capacity, 2.9-gallon fuel tank and Yamaha Fuel Injection (YFI) mean more time on the trail between fill-ups.
  • Thumb throttle lever has a smooth shape for a feel riders will appreciate, with less fatigue at the end of the day.
