This might be a lil early but has anyone purchased or know any one that has one yet? I am sure like all other yamahas they will be great and the best part is this looks like it is outfitted for mudding!! irs front diff lock winch mount standard so no belt and comes stock with itp mudlightes!! i am soon to get one but was just wondering and they appear to be popular b/c dealers by my house (3) are ether sold out or only have red in!

 

BUMP!

 

YES THEY HAVE A WINCH MOUNT.. NO THEY DONT COME WITH MUD LITES.. YOUR DEALER PUTS THAT ON THERE BEFORE IT EVER HITS THE FLOOR TO MAKE MORE MONEY..AS FAR AS MUD.. DONT GET IT IN THE BELT DRIVE AND YOU SHOULD BE OK.. JUST KEEP IT WASHED AND THE DIFF FLUIDS CHANGED REGULARLY

 

BUY IT !!! buy it now before its sold, The Big Bear is the best you can get, its gear drive and its the best mud machine out there! I wanted to buy a Big Bear but all the Yamaha Dealers were a** 's that I had to settle for a Eiger manual, I know many guys that own a Big Bear and they run rings around my Eiger. BUY IT !!!! All the Yamaha dealers are pushing and overstocked with the Grizzly 450's cause everybody wants and are buying the Big Bear instead. Every Yamaha dealer is going to want to talk you into the Grizz 450 instead of the Big Bear! BUY THE BIG BEAR !! I promice you after you are out riding ur Big Bear you will be passing up and going where the 450 Grizz can't go. Go out today and buy it!!

 

yes! i have one and wouldnt even trade it for a new big bore atv of any kind. i absolutely love it. it handles GREAT, in mud, hills, or anything else. And because it doesnt have a belt i can go through water over the finders. it has a lift with 27 zillas. and the low first and second gear turn the tires better than i could imagine. i hang with all my friends who have 650 arctic cats NO PROBLEM! take advantage and buy it!!!!!!!!

 

Are you really that stupid!!!! omfg there is no belt! That is what makes this so great! And yes it does coem stock with mudlightes!!!!!!!! Go to yamaha-motor.com and you can see i there plus i saw one come out of the crate with them on it!! dont talk about stuff you dont know about you moron!

 

I just got a big bear this past weekend and I really like what I've seen from it so far. It does really well in the mud even with the stock 25" mud lites. The things I don't like about it are the slow top speed and the rough feeling shifter. I also noticed that sometimes the lights for 4x4 and Diff Lock don't come on and go off right away all the time. Seems like a reliable bike that will handle a lot of Mud and Water.

I would highly doubt that. It may have a edge on the kodiak 450, but not by much.

 

Ya they do come stock with Mudlites

 

the reason for the delay is the on-command system. You can press the button but the light will not go out until after the Diff has shifted. That way if there is a problem you wwill know it.
