2024 Yamaha YXZ1000R SS 6-Speed - POV Test Drive

#yamaha #sidebyside #utv
To get our first impression of Yamaha new 6-speed YXZ1000R SS, we stopped by the demo truck at DuneFest, signed up, strapped in and mashed the throttle. Here's what our GoPro captured on the ride. If you are anywhere near Yamahas demo truck, go on one of their rides. Although our video is only 5 minutes long, the entire ride was closer to a half hour, so it's a great way to test out any new product.

Seems like some awful loud gear shifts in auto mode.

[@COYOTE_N8]

Your hearing the mechanism that's doing the shifting while in auto mode

[@ericstrohl52]

That’s what I noticed too

[@erichillman5846]

Bad video no info

[@MIKEHOVIND]

hopefully i can get mine a 3 pedal on the floor , whole reason i wanted one of these is because it would be a manual

[@jadenthegreat07]

You can still buy a 2024 YXZ with a fully manual transmission. Clutch (3rd petal) included.

[@braydenlowe2024]

Awesome Video!

[@ChiefRickyRC]

In love

[@LeoMkII]

Only SxS with a decent, not ugly-as-sin design, so the only real option

[@jpawusa]

I have 23 xtr. 5th gear is not enough. I am 5000 rpm at 50mph. Otherwise, it is a great toy.

[@bobr6522]

Put the petal down Sally

[@ianjohnson7962]

I've grown to hate my YXZ. Just sent my engine off for the 2nd time to be rebuilt in 3000 miles. It's never seen the Rev limiter. It's never over heated. I'm regular on oil changes. I'm probably trading for a pro xp when i get it back together.

[@austinwlock]

You got a lemon

[@anthonyscott3659]

No more clutch option .... that's sad

[@fishinga1447]

Yes there is

[@MassiveOverkill]

First!

[@BarnStangz]

Too bad you couldn't let it "eat" a bit more. I'm also very interested to know how low 1st. gear is. Hope this thing will be good in the trails as well. Thank you for sharing.

[@UTVActionMagazine]

We agree, but the real test will be very soon.

[@chefgiovanni]

Ha Ha ...you drive like my Granny when she had 1 broken arm.

[@dwayneeverett755]

This thing looks like a child’s toy now lol update ASAP

[@townsendYXZ]

I got a 22 xtr I'm not too sad about auto shift and the lower first. I do no rock crawling what so ever he'll most of my riding is on the street. Its nice to see Yamaha do some upgrades but its nothing that makes me wanna trade mine in. I am looking forward to your full review tho the for posting this a !ot of people have given up on the YXZ

[@ChiefRickyRC]

I need a blue YXZ1000r more then anything

Dear Yamaha! Ive bought 5 new quads over the years. Its time you Sponser me a YXZ 1000R to make endless best videos

[@stanruang7021]

imo i think its nice to have auto to branch out to more people who dont want to learn manual but that takes away the uniqueness and fun of the original yxz and yes i know you can change it to manual but still i think it's more fun to have it full manual and bang gears

[@MassiveOverkill]

The 3 pedal fully-manual version is still available with the new 6 speed tranny.

[@pauloyoshizaki2103]

YAMAHA : YXZ 1.000 -R : TURBO : 450 H.P. : FORÇA ~ POTÊNCIA : YAMAHA ; 2024 ! .

[@dmaxfan]

The paddles should move with the steering wheel instead of being stationary

[@trevorkindley6480]

It is noisy and but I love it..its the best noise I have ever heard....I love mine...and I ride in Rocky hilly areas... Uwarrhie national Forest and WV trails....I did install a heavier flywheel.... freaking awesome

[@silverbackpauly4814]

Where are you guys located? I’m in Miami & wish we had this terrain. But we have the ocean so I bought a Yamaha VXR jetski with 1800cc so I guess lol

[@ericstrohl52]

Seemed like you could hear the gears clanking when it shifted. Is that the case?

[@pmaint1]

Do rhey put this transmission in the utility sxs such as the wolverine or Viking?

[@mikemarsella5283]

I disagree the transmission is why it is being considered.

[@jeffella2748]

All people wanna see if 6th gives it anymore top speed how much

[@mikefrench3800]

Why are all these reviews in sand????

[@gregfleenor9654]

I hear the ‘24 is awesome.

[@fishslayersocal9345]

Step up your game Yamaha

[@toddbrimer5672]

Do they have a 6 speed manual?

[@MassiveOverkill]

Yes there's still have the 3 pedal non Sport Shift manual transmission

[@brianh019]

How tall are you?

[@UTVActionMagazine]

6-foot. Honestly I don't remember reaching to moved the seat back like I ALWAYS do in the Talon.

[@jim6682]

Yamaha is still missing 99% of the market who would prefer a CVT with a low range.

[@subl1minal]

they have the RMax 1000, and it's reaaaallly good.

[@jim6682]

That might be a nice machine but its not a performance machine like the YXZ. Different category,

[@MassiveOverkill]

There's the Arctic Cat with the same motor mated to a CVT. It IS NOT outselling the YXZ, not by 99%, 98%, 75%, 50% etc.
