The engine of the Yamaha Big Bear 400 breathes through a 33mm Mikuni Carburetor. The guys at Yamahas engineering facility could have easily been drawn by the temptation to sling one of their famous EFI or Electronic Fuel Injection units on this quad. But to keep with the plan of the simple serviceable unit they opted for the traditional carburetor.
