Engine :
Forged lightweight piston, connecting rod and crankshaft in the 686cc engine are light and strong, for a hard-hitting, quick-revving power plant that revs all the way to 9000 rpm. Dual counterbalances keep it smooth. Yamaha fuel injection means consistently excellent engine performance in a wide range of conditions, elevations and temperatures. Competition-spec dry-sump lubrication system boosts usable horsepower and keeps overall engine size more compact. Digital TCI w/16-bit electronic control unit controls fuel injection and ignition systems for consistent performance and fantastic throttle response. Reliable pushbutton electric start in any gear adds extra convenience. Race-bred five-speed transmission with reverse, along with Raptor 700R’s monstrous power band, 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 700R’s power. Easy-to-reach oil filter and tool-free air filter.
Chassis/Suspension:
State-of-the-art chassis combines a steel front section with an aluminum rear section and detachable sub frame to create a super-strong structure. Compact, CAD-designed chassis creates the ideal wheelbase for light, quick, super-accurate steering. YZ-style piggyback rear shock gives 10.1-inch wheel travel with high- and low-speed compression adjustability for maximum sport versatility, along with preload and rebound adjustment. Front brake master cylinder features an adjustable lever for increased comfort and feel. Drilled rear brake disc reduces unsparing weight for improved suspension action and excellent braking feel on the Raptor 700R SE. Cast aluminum swing arm carries a eccentric quick-adjust drive chain mechanism that takes most of the work out of that task. Handlebar-mounted flip-type parking brake lever and rear brake caliper adjust automatically. High-performance 21x7-10 front and 20x10-9 rear Dunlop® radials 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 enhances suspension performance by reducing unsparing weight. YFZ450 twin-aluminum-piston front disc brakes and rear disc deliver tremendous stopping power with less unsparing weight. YFZ450 45mm serrated foot pegs provide excellent boot traction. Controlled-fill aluminum sub frame is light and strong. So is the composite front grab bar.

Long, YZ-style seat allows maximum rider comfort and movement with superb sport-riding ergonomics. YFZ450 30-watt multi-reflector 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.
