Def a drivers machine. I have 17ss and beat the piss out of it. It will beat you back with the stock suspension but it will take it as long as you can. I recommend looking into the AVID utv long travel kit with weller revalve shocks. Then slap a gytr turbo on it at like 9lbs and it will keep up with the best.
I put almost 5000 miles on a 2017 YXZ before buying my Rubicon. The YXZ is by far the best SXS on the market! Machine is so fun and bulletproof! 🚨 BTW…I’ve got some cool YXZ videos on my channel…Turbo YXZ too.
@@murdered1415 I went down and said I want the 22 YXZ. I put down some money. They placed one on order. Tried to order a 21 XTR and was told I couldn't.
@@tennesseevalleyoffroaders1211 Which dealer? My deal can't get anymore 21's or order a 22 but already has a few 22 rmax xtr in stock, wonder if the 22 yxz xtr will have the same colors as the 22 rmax xtr?
@@murdered1415 I'm just telling you what I am being told. I will be pretty much pissed off if I'm being lied to but I have a written contract for the 22 YXZ XTR. As to colors, I have no idea. I've already had one come apart with the dealer and if I'm being lied to... You are getting me mad again. The dealer is Freedom Powersports in Huntsville, Alabama.
Look, I'm tried to switch my order to a 22 Polaris RZR XP1000 Premium that is sitting on their floor and they quoted me 29K for it. That was my first come apart. How the hell can a cheaper SxS cost me $3400 more???
I had the same problem with the scoop I learned that if I flip my windshield down or put it on backwards it doesn’t matter just a fyi for y’all out there or just take it off no tools required and do y’all have a video on starter mods air exhaust and what not I don’t wanna turbo but what is the start of things?
I have a 16 with sequential shift (clutch pedal and shifter) and while I will say I have a bug smile on my face when driving the yxz , it is more squirly on the trails. My x3 max is more of a relaxed cruiser (even when full throttle on the trails or dunes). I hate this it’s a drivers car comment.
We feel that the Sport Shift transmission is definitely a HUGE step in making the YXZ more of a cruise-capable vehicle, and would agree with you that its pretty squirrely compared to something with a little longer wheelbase. When we say "driver's car" we are mostly referring to how the YXZ almost begs to be driven hard & aggressively...seems to come to life the more you push it.
We've driven a few of them before and in fact one of our very first videos was on our review of the YXZ...that being said, this one is the first we've spent considerable time with and we love it, even with the obvious shortcomings that keep it from being more of an "every man's" vehicle.
That's not what I am hearing at all. I have quite a few people I follow that ride YXZ's. I've never seen a rear diff break. Front, yes. Rear, no. And these guys bounce this vehicle over rocks and boulders. TCB Offroad recommends a front diff on one of their videos and I plan on purchasing that very one.
Out here on the west coast , you see them break down at all the dune trips. I see people dumping the clutch all the time to get them to move and that’s not good on the diff. I am not talking about the paddle shifter but the ones with a clutch pedal.
@@paulbeltran7132 We have six YXZ’s that are beat hard in Glamis…not one issue. I think your confused with the other SXS’s that blow belts all over the bowls.
Should definitely do a turbo kit..the yamaha gytr kit is where is at..the power is there if you need it, but not over the top

Love the YXZ!!!
That's why I ordered the 2022 XT-R. Haven't even seen it yet but I wants it.
How did you order a 22, there's no info on them yet

We need more upgrades for the YXZ
This should be fun!!
I have a 2021 Yamaha Wolverine X2 850 and love it, but I think I would sooner have the YXZ.😊
I own the same one, just found out i have launch control! 🙃
Glad we could help, haha!

I WANT ONE
Does the SE edition come with the sun top

@@UTVSource its a fun car just tweek the suspension and some minor upgrades and you have a car that is asking to rip through the gears
Which do you prefer for trails? I'm in Colorado and really want the manual yxz but everyone is trying to talk me out of it
Why did you remove the radiator cover?
We didn't remove it on purpose...it blew off while being towed on an open trailer. Second one we've lost that way.
@@UTVSource hmmm.. that makes me nervous about mine that i pull frequently on an open trailer lol
dude when your 5ft 1 inch the seats are always bad thought you stole daddy truck...
I find it odd that you guy's have never driven one before? They've been out for nearly six years now.

The rear differentials are a major weakness with these units. Look it up , they break on everyone’s unit.

5000 miles never had an issue…

@@paulbeltran7132 Ah, gotcha. Yeah, the 3-pedals are not worth the problems. I totally agree with you there.
My CFmoto 500 trail will eat that Yamaha up!!
