TEST RIDE: 2016 Yamaha YXZ1000R SS

Click the THUMBS UP button!
Luke gives us a closer look at Yamaha's pure sport YXZ1000R SS featuring paddle shifters and an automatic clutch.

[@TheCamaro5]

This was more of a Manufacturer overview than a test ride. It is cool to see yamaha finally come up with more stuff.

[@EricRoz]

I don't know about all of these auto clutch, half clutch features they seem like they might cause some issues in the future.

[@joselucero3325]

Im looking to buy a utv, could u guys compare the yamaha yxz and the can am maverick 1000?! Thnx!!

[@garyroberts7257]

I have the SS SE model awesome machine haven't found anything I don't like

[@mikemartin6823]

That looked like a Yamaha commercial, not a test ride. Please get in one and test it on the trails and mud going slow.

[@lauderdalechad]

Manufacturer overview.... Not a test ride!

[@Robinlimbu7667]

i want to say 2 yamaha to lounch this vehicle in nepal

[@Maritimer]

not my cup of tea but some cool things coming from Yamaha.

[@jsmith1654]

i agree if i lived in las vegas desert this would be geat

[@Maritimer]

yeah for sure ! but not many dunes in eastern Canada haha

[@andrewherrboldt5437]

I like how Yamaha took the risk to make a fully manual side by side and i always wondered why there wasn't one already.

[@topdawge3688]

People dont want them. but now that they are out, they are starting to catch on. Like people who drive stick in a sports car. They want more involvemnt

[@girthyfupa8251]

Honda has one, its just not a pure-sport. (the more you know o_O)

[@andrewherrboldt5437]

which one is it?

[@topdawge3688]

Andrew Herrboldt Pioneer

[@girthyfupa8251]

I haven't kept up on it but I know the pioneer was like a three speed when it first came out

[@kirbyvanduzer6565]

You can easily ride the yxz1000r ss in the trail and play in the mud my dad works for a company that has them in their warehouse I'm gonna buy one as soon as I pay off my car

[@TheBandit7613]

No low range = fail. "I don't want a low range" said no one ever.

[@longboardguy]

Chris Baumgarten with gear selection you don’t need a low range. 1st is a granny gear

[@kevanstarr3313]

I'm torn between this and an X3...

[@Phlats2811]

Kevan Starr the YXZ SS is a lot better that the X3

[@nickouellette4305]

I agree

[@darwynelias3336]

just bought a YXZ over an X3

[@kevanstarr3313]

Any particular reason why or a deciding factor that made it easier?

[@darwynelias3336]

price and the power u get to the ground they only losses 7% vs the X3 losses 30% and i am more of a yamaha guy than a can am

[@racksdeepoffroad8969]

anyone else wanna see someone swap a 3 cylinder 1000 yxz into a grizzly 700?

[@mbergeron4965]

And the moral of this story is never buy 1st generation of anything...ever!

[@garyroberts7257]

M Bergeron I did got extended warranty just in case 1000 miles and zero problems

[@husky9562]
