Hop aboard the 2008 Yamaha Big Bear 400 and hit the trail... or start your first chores around the ranch: you're riding a very serious off-road machine which is hard to stop, no matter how rough the terrain is. This ATV is really easy to drive thanks to its semi-automatic transmission: the gearbox has a 5-speed architecture, but the clutch is automatic, making everything smooth and fun.
This ATV also boasts the Yamaha on-command 3-way differential lock which helps the rider get a better grip on slippery terrain or steep slopes. The mid-size chassis provides plenty of room, but at the same time allows the riders to load this quad in the back of a casual pickup truck, for easy transportation to remote locations.
The 2008 Big Bear 400 retains the serious racking capacity and can tow heavy loads, being a dependable partner in completing the toughest tasks and being a fun machine for weekend trail fun, too.
