2010 Yamaha Grizzly model 350, 450, 550
The Yamaha Grizzly range for 2009 features not one but three models. The most important difference between the 550 and the 750 models is that of engine size. The 550 has a narrower bore and a higher compression.
The 09 – 2010 Yamaha Grizzly models - 350, 450, and 550 are basically the same. One of the versions has an electronic power steering, while the other does not. The 550 version is of course a special edition one. It has cast aluminum wheels and mind-blowing graphics.
The automatic transmission on the grizzly 550 is supposed to be exclusive to the model. It is easy to ride, even when it is towing an amazing weight.
The 350 model seems to believe in the ‘less is more’ policy. It has a fully automatic transmission that is attached to air/oil cooled single overhead cam four stroke engine. The lower end torque is great and it also packs in an electric starter, a stainless steel muffler and cargo racks that can carry up to 264lbs in weight.
The grizzly 450 automatic has all the advantages of the 660 or 700 models. It has an impressive four wheel independent suspension and is powered by a liquid cooled engine.
It also sports a brushed metallic look, red trim, carbon fiber style side covers and newer graphics. It also provides an exclusive Ultramatic transmission and an automatic centrifugal clutch. This lets it maintain constant belt tension that will help you reduce wearing of the belt. The model also boasts an exclusive three position on command in/out 4WD feature. This lets you switch between 2D and 4D nearly effortlessly.
There is also a four wheel suspension and preload adjustable shocks that let you get maximum control, even on rough terrain. There is a trick digital instrument panel with a multifunction display including hour meters and tripometer.
The 09 – 2010 Yamaha Grizzly models - 350, 450, and 550 feature 10.8 inches of ground clearance and high impact plastic skid plates. This adds that extra touch to protection of the undercarriage and more in terms of maneuverability.
