SHIFT UP A GEAR

You like to shift? That’s fine. Enter the Big Bear 400 - a tough workplace performer. At its heart is a free-revving air-oil cooled 386cc SOHC with plenty of bottom-end grunt. It feeds its power through a constant mesh, auto clutch five-speed gearbox with reverse and an ultra low first gear. Big Bear 400 features the all-terrain surety of Diff Lock, accessible via Yamaha’s famous push button On-Command® 2WD/4WD/Diff Lock switching, as well as the off road ability and all day comfort of independent rear suspension. If you like to change gears, there’s no need to shift preferences.

Diff lock-equipped On-Command™ 2WD/4WD switching. Big Bear flicks from light steering 2WD to go-anywhere 4WD at the push of a button, and features Diff Lock so you can access full drive from your 4WD capability.

Big Bear’s plush, comfortable Independent Rear Suspension provides control and comfort, while a fully sealed oil bath rear wet brake allows long-lasting, outstanding stopping power even in the worst conditions.

For riders who crave ultimate control, a rugged 5-speed gearbox features a semi-automatic action and ultra-low ‘stump-pulling’ first gear. Naturally, there’s a reverse gear, so you can back out of what you get yourself into

FEATURES

♦   Independent rear suspension makes this one super-comfortable, while it makes even more terrain accessible.

♦   Large-capacity oil cooler with cooling fan helps maximise engine efficiency, even under heavy loads.

♦   Stainless steel muffler and header provide superior power characteristics, exhaust sound and unmatched durability.

♦   Wrinkle-finish cargo racks are superdurable and can pack a class-leading total of 119kg (40 front, 80 rear) of payload.
