I'm waiting patiently

[LBR]

Any bets that the live feed will crash?...lol

[The Rattler (BLR)]

I find it kind of sexy...

[Mike621]

I like the looks and the way it handle everything, but I don't know about shifting all the time, looks like no manual/auto set up ? In the open desert would be fine, but tight trail riding? Maybe heading to the Can-Am shop instead.

Unmatched SxS Performance

The all-new YXZ1000R SE doesn’t just reset the bar for sport side-by-sides, it is proof that Yamaha is the leader in powersports performance. Featuring a new 998cc inline triple engine mated to a 5-speed sequential shift gearbox with On-Command® 4WD, massive FOX Racing Shox® suspension front and rear, and styling the competition can’t touch, the new YXZ1000R SE is in a class by itself—the only true pure sport SxS ever developed.

Stunning, Industry-first Three-Cylinder Engine

Prepare yourself for the industry’s first 998cc inline-three cylinder sport side-by-side engine. Featuring a compact DOHC twelve-valve cylinder head, an aggressive 11.3:1 compression ratio and high-tech dry-sump lubrication, the YXZ1000R SE engine offers jaw-dropping power, fantastic midrange torque and a thrilling 10,500 rpm redline. With lightweight 80mm forged aluminum pistons and a counterbalancer, the motor is exceptionally smooth-running, too. Built for the pure sport SxS enthusiast, there’s nothing else like it.

Industry-first 5-Speed Sequential Shift Transmission with On-Command 4WD

The YXZ1000R SE establishes a direct connection with driver via an all-new sequential 5-speed manual transmission with reverse that permits rapid and smooth shifting, ideally matched to the potent three-cylinder engine. A beefy hydraulically-actuated clutch system is operated by an automotive-style foot pedal for light, consistent feel and an entirely new sports SxS experience. Yamaha’s proven On-Command 4WD system with full Diff Lock is ready to tackle challenging terrain, and the entire driveline is built to provide unmatched durability.

Terrain Conquering, Fully-adjustable FOX Podium RC2 Shocks®

Jutting defiantly through the front hood and defining the rear of the vehicle, the YXZ1000R SE's huge piggyback FOX® 2.5 Podium RC2 Shocks® bring visual impact with unmatched performance. All four corners are fully adjustable—spring preload, rebound and both high- and low-speed compression damping—with a huge 16.2 inches of front travel and 17.0 inches at the rear, with integrated Bottom-Out technology as well as front and rear sway bars. Result: The ultimate in ride quality, tuneability and handling. Whether you’re riding in dunes or dirt, the YXZ1000R SE suspension will handle the toughest terrain

Ergonomics Built for Performance

The YXZ1000R SE cab features plush cut-and-sew high-back seats with extra lateral support and outside shoulder bolsters, and the cockpit is built to provide a balanced combination of secure confidence with comfort. The floorboards are shaped to provide generous legroom while still giving a planted feel during aggressive driving, too. The driver’s seat is adjustable across 3.5 inches, and the steering wheel is tilt adjustable 5.8 inches to ensure a perfect fit.

With lightweight 80mm forged aluminum pistons and a counterbalancer, the motor is exceptionally smooth-running, too. Built for the pure sport SxS enthusiast, there’s nothing else like it.

High Flow Intake System

High capacity intake system features dual air filters—one oiled foam, one oiled paper—affording maximum airflow to the engine as well as durable filtration for the dirtiest riding environments. The re-usable foam filter features tool-free access for easy servicing, too.

Compact and Clean Exhaust System

The three-into-one high-volume exhaust system with center-mounted muffler centralizes weight distribution and is tuned to provide maximum power across the rev range

Industry-first 5-Speed Sequential Transmission

The YXZ1000R SE utilizes an all-new sequential 5-speed manual transmission with reverse that permits rapid and smooth shifting, ideally matched to the potent three-cylinder engine. A beefy hydraulically-actuated clutch system is operated by a foot pedal for light, consistent feel - delivering power up to 20% more efficiently than most automatic CVTs. With an amazingly direct connection between throttle and the drivetrain, this new transmission gives the YXZ™1000R SE an entirely new sports SxS experience that is unmatched by any other machine.

Yamaha’s Exclusive On-Command® 4WD

With the twist of a dial, On-Command 4WD gives the driver ultimate traction, with easily selected 2WD and 4WD full diff lock modes. The YXZ1000R SE's all-new drivetrain incorporates Yamaha’s proven On-Command 4WD system to tackle the most challenging terrain.

Advanced Drivetrain

Getting the power to the wheels is an advanced drive system, featuring an external engine flywheel to maximize engine torque, for smooth shifting and acceleration. To deliver Yamaha’s exceptional durability, this system also incorporates an Over-Torque protection system that eliminates spike loads to the front drive case on hard impacts, protecting it from damage without affecting performance.

Aggressive New Style

Radical, aggressive chassis and styling—highlighted by massive suspension components jutting into view—shows off Yamaha’s passion for powersports. And form follows function, as the front suspension design permits an extremely low hood line for excellent trail visibility. The YXZ1000R SE is the new benchmark for performance side-by-sides, built for enthusiasts looking for a pure sport machine with the confidence and attitude to tackle any challenge.

Terrain Conquering, Fully-adjustable FOX Podium® RC2 Shocks®

Rising defiantly through the front hood and defining the rear of the vehicle, the YXZ1000R SE's FOX 2.5 Podium® RC2 Shocks® with huge piggyback reservoirs bring visual impact and unmatched performance. All four corners are fully adjustable—spring preload, rebound and both high- and low-speed compression damping—with a huge 16.2 inches of front travel and 17.0 inches at the rear for the ultimate in ride quality, tuneability and handling
.
Optimized Suspension Geometry

Rigid spherical-joint double A-arms suspension retains ideal castor angle and bump response throughout the entire suspension travel range, for excellent cornering ability, light steering feel and straight line stability across the roughest terrain. Unexpected bumps are absorbed smoothly, maintaining the chassis’ secure, planted feeling and preserving momentum and steering response for maximum driver confidence.

Pure Sports Chassis

Optimized frame dimensions make the YXZ1000R SE the best handling sport SxS... ever. In addition to the performance and durability that comes with Yamaha’s exacting standards, the YXZ1000R SE also includes extensive occupant protection without sacrificing driver visibility, and a full-frame composite underbody skidplate protects the chassis from rocks and debris.

Yamaha Electric Power Steering

The YXZ1000R SE features Yamaha’s class-leading speed-sensitive EPS, for reduced steering effort and precise handling in virtually all conditions. The EPS unit is lightweight and compact, mounted high on the new rack-and-pinion steering system, further protecting it from dirt and debris.

Powerful All-Wheel Disc Brakes

The YXZ1000R SE offers precise braking control thanks to twin-piston calipers clamping down on 245mm rotors at all four wheels, for excellent braking power, feel and fade-resistance under hard use. An automotive-style parking brake lever is mounted in cabin’s center console.

Exclusive 27-inch Maxxis® Tires with Bead Lock Wheels

Developed exclusively for Yamaha, the YXZ1000R SE mounts 27-inch Maxxis® Bighorn 2.0 radial tires that offer extreme performance, with increased ground clearance, optimum traction, durability, comfort and steering precision. These tires are mounted to tough 14-inch alloy wheels with standard bead lock plates for maximum tire durability, especially in challenging terrain.

Ergonomics Built for Performance

The YXZ1000R SE cab features plush high-back seats with extra lateral support and outside shoulder bolsters, and both the driver’s seat and passenger handhold are adjustable, giving riders the feeling of being part of the vehicle for an excellent cockpit feel. The floorboards are shaped to provide generous legroom while still giving a planted feel during aggressive riding, and the steering wheel is tilt adjustable 5.8 inches to fit drivers of all sizes.

Supersport-style Dashboard

The YXZ1000R SE features instruments inspired by Yamaha’s high-performance supersport motorcycles. Functions include a high-visibility digital speedometer, analog tachometer and programmable shift light, with digital readouts for 4WD mode, gear position, fuel level, trip meters, hour meter, coolant temperature warning and a clock.

******************************

Special Edition Features

In addition to the durable bead-lock wheels, the YXZ1000R SE is highlighted by a stunning 60th Anniversary Yellow and Black graphics package with matching A-arms for standout style.

300-pound Cargo Capacity

Bring what you need, thanks to the YXZ1000R SE's composite cargo bed, with a 300-pound capacity and four steel tie-down points. A sealed compartment next to the cargo bed and glove box in the cab provide additional storage, as do passenger-side cup holders and a central storage tray in the dashboard.

Standard Suntop

The YXZ1000R SE comes standard with a composite suntop integrated into the ROPS structure. A pair of whip flag mounts are ready for customization options, too.

Aggressive LED Lighting

Four super bright and long-lasting LED headlight assemblies provide brilliant forward illumination and give the YXZ1000R SE a sinister and aggressive sense of style, with a bright LED tail light out back for extra visibility.

Assembled in the USA

The all-new YXZ1000R SE is proudly assembled in Newnan, GA, for world-wide distribution and is built to be Real World Tough™.

I don't think so, cause you can just keep it in first gear, normal riding should be 3-4 gear, probably fire roads will just keep it in third gear. Does have regular 4x4 and lock 4x4.

Reports from a test drive in Australia said it was a bit more sluggish thru first 3 gears than the driver's Maverick, but 4&5 gears hauled the mail....leads me to believe the CVT starts leveling out on top end where the 3 banger and non CVT could keep pulling harder....it also could be setup as a Yamaha ringer without rpm limited?....150 kph was mentioned....if that equates to 90-100 mph, that direct drive 1:1 manual and 10,500 rpm may be a Baja and desert runner.

[Mike621]

So not having seeing the Yamaha yet, I do like what I'm seeing and reading so far,
BUT a couple weeks ago when I was looking at Mavericks, the best deal I could fine was 23,500 OTD with Doors and Roof, so I told the dealer I would think about it, and really kind of waiting on the Yamaha.
SO Maverick dealer calls me today and said I can have the last one in the crate with doors and aluminum roof for 21,500 OTD, I wanted to be 21k even, so it's close. Now I guess I will have to think about it more. [emoji53]

Inquire about the yellow one with your dealer. A source said the Orange and Blue are impregnated plastic colors, but the yellow was just painted on. I really don't fathom it, but have your dealer confirm for you.

[Beach Leo]

Well Looks like I know what my Next Only True Sport SxS is going to be

Finally No Rubber-Band to Burn-Up >>> that is what I am talking about and a sweet sounding Engine as well

[LBR]

Our local UTV dealership said the sales their XP1K models had tanked until the YXZ was released. Money down on 3 of the Yamahas already up here in last couple days....exciting times for the UTV enthusiasts!

[Mavmann]

These new Yamahas sure look strange but so did the mavericks when they first came out .

We've all seen older yellow Yamaha quads that just show the normal scrapes and bruises on them, they look fine. So are they painted yellow? I always assumed they were molded yellow.

I personally was disappointed in the 2011 black Commander plastics....that plastic showed every scrape. The Mav plastics do alot better.

[Beach Leo]

There sure will be a-lotta RZRs for Sale with this release of the only true sport sxs I believe

My 50th anniversary Raptor was just yellow plastic, same with the yellow Honda TRX400EX that I have now, I heard the yellow ones were painted also, but the RZR's that are painted seem to hold up well, most everybody that we ride with has a RZR and they always look good , at least at the start of the ride, by the end of the day they all look trashed, but clean back up well.
My red 900xp looked ok, but never as good as the painted ones.

For a while you'll see some people trying to dump what they have to get a Yamaha but it will calm down after a while just like every other time something new comes out !!

Seeing as nobody has one yet that we can check out and have not heard of anyone taking deliver and writing a review., I think I'll hang on and see what shakes out. I know Yamaha makes some great product but this thing is a 1 off design. Looks great but I want to wait and see. My rig that I have gets me around jut fine.

[So Cal Sam]

I got my deposit down and can't what to get it . There coming out just in time for sand season .

[Sandiam]

I won't one but I'm going to wait and see how they are in the real world. I have a turbo xp1000 now and don't want to sell it if the Yamaha isn't any better .

[Sweet34]

From the videos that I have seen this is going to be one sweet ride!

[Bedo]

What is the date they expected to be delivered to the general public ?

Same here. I can't imagine being out in the rocks like that esp with no low range...

[Mike621]

Well guys I have been researching this new Yamaha, everything looked pretty good, but today I read that the Yamaha engineers are saying even with a Rekluse this machine is not intended for hills, trails, or even light duty rock crawling??? And is only intended for open desert racing and dunes.
With this new info I think I'm going to hold off for a while, pull my deposit, I really like the it looks, and the stuff it comes with , but I don't want to just race everywhere either. Pretty disappointed right now, I just don't want to get the first one and be bummed that it won't comfortable Cruze though the wood, and go fast though the open sections. [emoji17]

Sorry Mike....I almost as disappointed as you...bummer....and Yamaha definitely would not want a low range in it either....CRAP!

[Mike621]

From what I understand is there coming out with a off road model sometime next year? But I can't wait that long. Yeah defiantly bummed.

Well there goes a-lot of Sales

That really Sucks Mike

Really had me going

If you can-Not Cruise it, I Do-Not Want on Either

Well may-be Next year....Who Knows!!!

[Beach Leo]

Come to think of it It

All the True 4x4s I have owned

Always had a high and low range

WTF was Yamaha Thinking?

[The Rattler (BLR)]

Time for the Turbo Maverick Mike..:)

From what the engineers where saying at the Heyday ride event last weekend, was this is the race model, and the off road model won't be till probably this time next year ? I don't know what I want to get now, I guess just wait awhile see what happens, I miss going out and riding.

It's a good thing you really do your homework, Mike! Better to be disappointed now than when it is sitting in your garage. But I completely agree with you that variety in riding is important. If I had to choose just one kind of riding.......... I don't think I could!

[Mike621]

Time for the Turbo Maverick Mike..:)

Yeah maybe go look at them, Sharon likes the new blue one. [emoji3]

I like the blue also...

[Beach Leo]

Good info Mike

I am like you do-not know what to get now

But it does have me thinking

"You know at 25 grand a pop thats a-lotta doe

If about 10 of us had the time to get together and fab our own from the ground up

We would have a far better machine I believe

Wish we had the time to build a far better machine

You can bet Turner Machine will be making gears for the YXZ as soon as people start bolting 33's on them and bitching!

[Pipelayer]

Love the sound of that motor though..

I'm suppose to get mine this coming week and I'm ready to see what it can do .

[milosusa]

For sure not for rock crawling, but why not for trail riding ??? But I set that before, I think Yamaha want this car to be Raptor 700 or YFZ450 of the SxS world not some universal machine. IMO

Z1 swap one Milos ;)

[Beach Leo]
