CAPABILITY

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

COMFORT

Yamaha’s Electric Power Steering significantly reduces fatigue with predictable steering assistance that adapts to changing riding conditions for an exceptional feeling of control.

CONFIDENCE

The Kodiak 450 EPS SE powertrain is designed to make service and maintenance as stress-free as possible. The airbox features tool-less access to the air filter element, the engine and differential feature convenient oil drain holes and vehicle electronics are located high on the chassis under the front center panel for easy access.

CONFIDENCE

The Kodiak 450 EPS SE transmission uses its own cooling intake to maintain proper temperatures, an oversized belt to handle the torque of the large motor and Yamaha’s unique sprag clutch to maintain constant belt tension. The end result is a drivetrain built for years of trouble-free service that leaves the competition in the dust, and is backed by the industry's only 10-Year V-Belt Limited Warranty.
