I've heard it will be called the BRUIN, like the Bear. 500CC. thats all I know, can anyone add more concrete info.
Will they have a manual with a diff lock. That would be nice.

 

That very well could be the name. They change things so quickly, if that was correct, it could still be changed before production.

The GRIZZLY 600 was tested in the Mississippi Delta a year before final production plans went into effect. At that time, it was called SASQUATCH. The name was changed to GRIZZLY just a few months before Yamaha went to the press with the quad. Maybe they thought the name was corny..OR maybe they are saving it for a sure enough big boy???

From what I have heard from Yamaha sales reps., the new quad replacing the Kodiak will still be liquid cooled, push button 4WD, differential lock, and an completly automatic transmission, BUT I haven't spoken to anyone who has a clue to the engine size. 500cc would make sense because they have no quad in that category.
