2006 Yamaha Bruin 350 Auto 4x4

This is one of the Best of the Best!!

This machine has never let me down!!

I purchased this Four Wheeler new in 2006.

It still runs great in 2019!!!

I would not hesitate buying this machine again!!

Me , 39 years riding. Dirt ,street.

Pros ; bullet proof, ivebeen imbarresing poor on matinance with this machine.! It has neededNOTHING except light bulbs. Never been to the shop . Only changed the oil twice ! ( I know I know ...)

Great full economy,huge tank ,ride all day, select on ... the fly 4x4 is great, all day comfort. Stump pulling power ! You won't belive it's only a 350. I have pulled mu 20' ranger bass boat around the yard no problem . 2500 lbs. ?

Goes plenty fast. Good front brakes, great engine braking, you hardly use the brakes even in the mountains .

Cons ; as you will read from others. It makes a loud bothersome clacking noise that sounds like breakup bad valve adjustment or a cam chain slapping about. Apparently it's normal and part of the auto decompression parts slapping about. It has never had any problems and if it was a defect it would have broken by now .

Rear brake is a drum and is weak .

It's oil cooled and the fan almost constantly blows and will blow heat on your left calf which you feel if you wear shorts.

Has now gauges. ( speedo fuel....) only dummy lights.

The noise is the main complaint. But it doesn't afect performance and has never given problems. If you like Ducatti you may like the noise .

4 stars because I'm hard to please and the noise is the only real negative.

Great machine. Don't know what a 800 cc would give me this thing doesn't except less fuel mileage.

Pulls like a Mack truck and goes about 45-50 ?

Hello,

I just thought I'd put in my 2 cents worth about the Yamaha Bruin 350cc ATV. This ATV is a great machine.I have used it on the trails,Plowing snow every year so far including my neighbour's driveways. It has enough power for what I need and I even towed a 95 intrepid up my driveway in ... reverse so it has the power.I still use it on ATV runs and it keeps up with the bigger ones.I have over 3500 kilometers on it never replaced parts and it still runs like the day I bought it.Would I get another Yamaha ATV.Sure will!!!But that will be a long time in coming for sure. Thanks,Yamaha for giving me the enjoyment out of this great machine and for saving me the work of back breaking snow shoveling. Always....Dave Scott....
