    I think the new paddle shift set-up is going to work better for most drivers, I know some do like the clutch. I don't know if they put lower gears in first and second, I saw video of the way the launch control works , that looks fun.

    Was hoping Yamaha lowered the gear ratio a bit, but they didn't. Still too tall geared for the Rubicon. Guess you do the Tubeworks tranny option. Anyone know if Yamaha added some heat barrier to the 2017 in the tunnel? The YXZ I drove at the Idaho dunes was too hot.. Not quite as bad as my old XDS but darn near.
    Patiently waiting for the Sand Show in September to choose my next sxs...

    You YXZ guys know if Tubeworks does a lower 1st and 2nd gear or do you have to spend two grand on a complete low gear tranny kit?

    Got to drive one of the local dealers YXZ SS that they had and I was pretty impressed with it. First thing I would do is bypass the seat belt alarm as its loud as heck. I didn't try the launch feature since we were on the asphalt but did run it up to 4th gear on the paved road and shifting with the auto clutch was cool. Also if you cruise up to an intersection and don't down shift it automatically will down shift back to first gear for you.
    I still think for my all around riding it still needs at least a lower first gear from Tubeworx and the the console needs to be insulated to block some of the tranny wine. The first to build a turbo kit is going to sale a bunch...

    I looked at one of the new "SS" today at the dealer . I like the paddle shifter but don't think it is going to solve all the problems people complain about .
