Ripping a Modded Yamaha YXZ 1000 on Michigan Trails

[@patrick40777]

By far the best video I've seen of one of these. Definitely should film more!

[@michigansledaddicts]

just uploaded another video

[@WhiteWRXx]

Agree not many good yxz riding videos out there. This is gold!

[@securenetwrkz]

wish we could get more of this kind of content, everything is out there but this. Awesome vid man

[@michigansledaddicts]

i appreciate it! just got a RZRs this fall so there will be more of this content next season

[@wadewishneski3075]

Glad my son & I aren't the only ones who rip their modded out Z's like this, good stuff. Those are some real nice trails, the kind that are made for YXZ. Keep posting this type of content, way better than the 10 mph site seeing type of videos.

[@michigansledaddicts]

Love my Yxz. Your right perfect for these trails

[@DeGroatRacing447]

Just bought a 24 yxz1000r 6 speed manuel. Love it so far! Wish PA had trails like this, our trails are full of rocks. Its more like rock climbing

[@Brian-Outdoors]

This is the best video I have seen on this machine! Just love the crotch rocket sound of your machine. Thanks this helped me decide the Yamaha is for me.

[@michigansledaddicts]

appreciate the comment. On long trail days you have to wear earplugs with this exhaust but it sounds so good. More to come this spring.

[@Brian-Outdoors]

@@michigansledaddicts oh a loud pipe would have been nice in my younger years but now not so much😊. I guess I could not tell in the video. Thank you.

[@WhiteWRXx]

We need another video with the yxz! how are they up there with the width? I have 4+3 wheels with 30" bfg's curious how strict they are?

[@jamesspeed70]

Far the best machine I ever own! All stock and don't know about upgrade for turbo kit yet, but stock with 180 hp seems more than enough for me. As I finally got my friend ride with me, he was super impressive with it, and it is literally like a race car.

[@StevePaige]

It has nowhere near 180hp stock. It has roughly 110hp at the crank and about 90 at the wheels.

[@jamesspeed70]

@StevePaige Could be and who know 🤷‍♂️ and I traded in for new Can-Am Outlander xt850 to keep it more rideable often. I was exciting to get into jet ski until about a year later start feeling bored out abit and lost interest.. If I live right by the lake on the dock I'd probably kept it. Speed is fun but can get bored pretty quick.

[@RickClaypole-th9zu]

enjoyed the trail rip What trails in Michigan?

[@xaviergarno5348]

Awesome video! Where in Michigan is this. It’s beautiful!

[@michigansledaddicts]

Baldwin, the Big O Trail!

[@xaviergarno5348]

Thanks

[@captseamus]

Is that as fast as that can go? Open that baby up more.

[@matthewhouser2365]

Video is awsome. I wouldn’t drive that fast in woods like that because of other bikes, deer, etc. up here, but rip it!

[@jackedup8790]

Then why buy one?

[@jackedup8790]

Sick... man then thing sounds good. And it looks fun.

[@Jeepboy]

Well done you sir are truly ripping that shit 🤘🏴‍☠️🤘I own one too and know what video hides badass!!

[@michigansledaddicts]

Thanks bro!

[@joeleaton607]

Are any of these trails one way? If not how many close calls have you had on the corners?

[@cosinesquared4125]

No, they are not. I ride here with an atv. The trails are ridiculously fast which is a big hazard. The minimum width is 8 feet. There aren't too many 90 degree corners but there are some which are completely blind. The trails feel wide down the straights but you have to pull to the side to let someone pass most of the time. I cannot imagine two 72" meeting each other. You can drive trucks, jeeps, etc. as well. But yes, you are asking for trouble if you drive this fast meeting someone doing the same in the other direction. I'm sure there are quite a few collisions during the season but I haven't heard of anyone getting killed... yet. It's bound to happen though.

[@joeleaton607]

@@cosinesquared4125 to drive like that on such a narrow two way trail with such a wide machine is insane and very true its asking for trouble.

[@YES-zs7be]

What size tires are you running? I saw like 5,000 rpm at 71 mph.

[@michigansledaddicts]

29" bighorns

[@WhiteWRXx]

This thing looks so planted. What's the suspension set up?

[@michigansledaddicts]

shocks were set up by Schmidty Racing and sway bar, and has a front shock relocation bracket from

[@michigansledaddicts]

if you haven't upgraded your sway bar yet and you plan to. Go with Double E racing sway bar.

[@WhiteWRXx]

That was my exact plan. Just ordered the full graves exhaust, I have the rayscar gusset and shock relocation bracket. wondering if i should do sway bar next or shocks.@@michigansledaddicts

[@Loop307]

I have seen at least 15 bad crashes in corners because people think they are sooo talented and can go this fast.

[@michigansledaddicts]

15! Wow congrats that’s impressive

[@traildawgsoffroad5156]

What all mods? Love me a yxz..

[@michigansledaddicts]

Double E Racing sway bar, tuned shocks, light flywheel, upgraded cams, tune, full graves exhaust. My brother will be be ordering a intake spacer for this next year.

[@brandonhatfield2547]

Those look like so much fun. No go on the 2 seater though.

[@davidsquarepants1256]

How tall are you, would a 6,4 guy fit good in the yxz?

[@michigansledaddicts]

i am around 5,11. my brother-in-law is around that hight and built big and he has no issues.

[@kojack635]

Yeah I'm 6'4" as well. Krx seems to have a big cockpit from what I've seen

[@sirdukedh]

I am 6'4" and 380, I have no issues driving it. My knee fits perfectly in under the dash by the door.

[@michaelcrider7729]

What cage are you running?

[@michigansledaddicts]

Nine eleven fab in Ohio. Best out there

[@JoshDeems]

What exhaust are you running?

[@michigansledaddicts]

Graves Full Titanium Exhaust

[@PDL-v8c]

Omg so much talent when I get older I wanna be just like you.

[@michigansledaddicts]

You can only dream 😉
