Thanks to Cliff for hunting down the info. The new engine is 112 hp and has a 5 Speed manual transmission.

So that comes out to about 112HP with a manual. I wonder how that will compare with the horsepower losses that a CVT transmission gets. It looks like there are 4 different models maybe?
I'm not sure how I would like a 5 speed out on the mountain trails !

I agree. When I had my quad (Yamaha Big Bear 400), it was a five speed and all my friends had CVT. I could keep up with them as long as I was perfect on the shift points , but the CVT is always in the "right gear".
Not to sure about having a 5 speed trans !!! If i was still into sand all the time it might be ok .

I have heard that a standard manual loses about 10% while a CVT is about 30%. I have no proof. Just what I have heard.

Im on the phone with Yamaha rep right now letting him know my displeasure- Not only am I out a machine for my family trip to Glamis, now Im out money after 346 miles..Im listing it and going back to a belt drive-- so fucking pist."
and another.
"I picked up my yxz on the 20th. The clutch burned on Friday the 23rd. 100 miles, 7.5 hrs. My dealer never mentioned parts on back order or not being covered under warranty. Now I'm worried."
even nate from alba has a burnt clutch,,

Anyone else wanna bitch about belt drive and dream of a shifter play car?

I bought a brand new 2002 Yamaha YZ426 Motocross bike back in the day, took it on the first race and burnt the clutch and plates up in the first moto, of a 4 moto weekend, needless to say I was pissed at the time, Yamaha wouldn't cover moto bike, I sold it and went back to two stroke. At the time everybody was switching to four strokes. So I guess it's just bad luck sometimes and someone ends up with the lemon.
I think for this type of machine though this should definitely be covered under warranty with only 350 miles on it, from what I hear it's hydraulic clutch with no adjustment, so had to be misadjusted at the factory.

the recluse does nothing to the gearing... i have had them in my dirtbike, so i know how it works and the maitinance it requiers . all it does is first you need to remove a couple clutch plates to make room for it to fit...
this removes surface area for the clutch thus not as much grab. the recluse just allows the clutch to slip at idle /low rpm's, so you dont stall. it sort of work's like the old honda atc clutch .
it also has no gear reduction in it so their is no way it fixes too high a gear. the recluse has a bunch of balls in it and plates that need to be adjusted to keep it working good... so to me removing clutch area will make clutch life less than stock. alba and weller racing are working with Barnett racing clutches for a better clutch.
a guess to why they are going out is driver error. i see many yxz owners talking about slipping the clutch or not fumilure to a clutch in off road as many never drove/road a dirt bike or quad . most of the people that have or had a converted sxs to a streetbike eng saw this would be a problem and many said look out for it

hydraulic has no adj as it needs none its a set gap that auto adjust but the yxz has a very short throw so movement is minimal, thats a complaint owners have and also can be partly blamed since its hard to use thus guys ride the pedal and slip it

Yeah very true JC slipping the clutch in corners or up hills will defiantly over heat the clutch and burn it up, I never drove a new YXZ yet, but you should be able to put it in third gear for the most part, and leave it there.
One of the problems with the Recluse clutch that you talked about is why I didn't buy a Yamaha , I had one of the Recluse in a dirt bike also, and I was always adjusting it to get it right.

I was laughing when the sales guy at the dealer tried to sell me one when I was just looking the the Xds Maverick while I was there. I told him I wasn't interested till it had a low range gear.....that is when he told me the Recluse would fix it! I laughed and told him the only thing the Recluse kit would do is allow the driver to burn the clutch up faster without warning!
Needless to say, he didn't like what I told him.

Yeah , turbo is not covered by factory warranty , but Yamaha will not void the engine warranty, like for example Polaris will do, if you install turbo on them. At least that is what I heard ......

they have it done now $2700
Tubeworks is proud to offer new gear ratios and gear installation for the #Yamaha #yxz1000r divorced transmissions. Along with performing substantial lubrication modifications for the wet clutching system while the trans is apart. We are able to achieve an approximately 30% ratio reduction across the board, along with an almost 70% reduction in first gear, for that desperately needed launch /crawling range set. This drastically reduces the loads on the clutch system increasing the life expectancy. The new ratio set places 2nd gear very near to the original 1st gear ratio. 5th gear calcs out @ 10k RPM to near 70 mph speed with stock tire instead of almost 90mph, near 80 mph with 31" tire. This instantly puts 30% more torque to the tire in all ratios.
We are taking preorders now for the new gear sets we will be making for scheduled transmission installs at begining of year

Actually that for the full build. Here is the price list.
We have three price point we are trying to hit, based on the following options: 30% ratio reduction on 1st through 5th, labor to perform primary case modification, and provisions for external cooler, and internal priority oiling to clutch @ $1500.00 target.
Option 2: same as above but with additional case mod and the 70% reduction 1st gear set. @ $2200.00.
Option 3, same as option 2 with lines and cooler, $2400.00. Further options will be availble but will be based around clutch package, example: Rekluse, different pressure plates, different clutches kevlar or carbon based. More on that in a few weeks.

Did about 10 pulls switching drivers and in both 2wd and 4wd on both dirt and asphalt. very consistant results with the yxz pulling away in 1st and 2nd then the maverick passing it around the 40mph mark and pulling ahead about 4 car legnths in 1000ft. video to follow.

LBR may chime in also, we were down at Florence Yamaha talking to Ed about the Geocaching event Which ended up talking about the YXZ... Ed has driven just about every SXS out there and he said for the Dunes and Open desert this machine is the bomb...But you have to drive it like you STOLE it... He told LBR to take it out to the dunes and drive it... Hopefully in the near future he will have a chance to do that.. Ed said he watched to many videos that had negatives and didn't want to even drive it... but a friend of his came down and said Hey I want to drive that XYZ.. so Ed, Mark & Tony headed out to the dunes...Mark drove the XYZ, Ed had his RZR 1000 And Tony had his 900... Mark was leading and is agressive driver, (well they all are) one all said and done.. Ed jumped in the XYZ and didn't get the smile off his face.. But you have to Drive it like you Stole it

I think it's a cool machine , if I could have two I would build a YXZ for open desert , it could be just like having a SXS Raptor style quad , I would think you could even take the 4x4 system out, and just have a lite weight 2WD.

Don't do that....for the 25K it's worth, everyone would buy a new Turbo somethingorother instead.
