The 2009 Yamaha Kodiak 450 receives a facelift with a new front end, but retains all of the key features such as On-Command 4WD with a front differential lock, the super smooth and reliable Ultramatic transmission, and of course superior ride comfort with an independent rear suspension.

Following closely in the Grizzly footsteps, you’ll find our Kodiak’s.

Built as every bit as tough as their big brothers, these affordable mid-sized ATVs are chock full of Yamaha exclusives and real-world tested features. Yamaha’s bullet-proof Ultramatic® transmission – featuring both high and low range – serves up 4-wheel engine braking so you can conquer any terrain. At the push of a button you can select between 2WD, 4WD and Diff Lock 4WD, using Yamaha’s exclusive On-Command system, yep it’s standard equipment. All Kodiak’s have a preload-adjustable, long-travel suspension, 10.8 inches of ground clearance and high-traction tires. It all adds up to one nimble ATV with a smooth ride.
