Yamaha YXZ Alba lightened flywheel install/review/race! XP1k and X3!

[@TheCuttingtorch]

And suddenly flywheels are on backorder..

[@azyxz8968]

Another outstanding video from the guys with real world machines, the cool thing about this video is how you prove that the parts change works with the drag races. The honesty of how you capture these moments truely shows and it is a testimony to your dedication to the sport, no matter what you drive. Keep up the good work and don't change anything except for more drone footage of the drag races. Sous, it's turbo time Bud!!!!!!

[@SXSBlog]

Thanks man! Rule number 1 of SXSBlog: keep it real.

[@gregoryeddowes2275]

the inboard mic on sous was priceless. Also drag race drone coverage is great footage!!!

[@SXSBlog]

Thanks man! Gotta utilize that thing sometimes lol

[@JWertz05]

Another great video from you guys. Always get excited when I get a new notification from you SxS Blog guys! Looks like your channel is starting to blow up too! Up over 6k subscribers! Congrats guys you deserve it!

[@rzrkilleriwishiwereahonda3625]

That blue yxz is running phenomenal for being all na it's almost neck an neck with the x3

[@dodgethishemi]

One thing I noticed that made the YXZ faster from a dig was that it was able to leave much higher up in the power band. When Nick raced back from a roll, seemed like the 1k was right there with him the whole time. The difference of leaving at idle versus being able to rev it up and dump the clutch.

[@SXSBlog]

There is certainly an advantage in the launch department for the YXZ but it also isn't able to live right at peak power like CVT machines are so it's a give and take. From a roll the machines are essentially equal.

[@jensenalbanese796]

you guys deserve way more subs this is some quality sxs content if I've ever seen it

[@Gonecheenin]

Love the product reviews since I trust you guys not to BS us into buying stuff that doesn't work. I just bought one of these Alba flywheels and can't wait to put it on after watching this episode! You guys need to do a comparison of power output between aftermarket YXZ exhausts equipped with & without a quiet insert (mines a Graves slip-on) and whether you can mitigate any power loss with a different tune. I'm planning to try the air box spacer and GYTR filters on my Graves slip-on without the quiet insert - hit all three FT tunes to find my best result (unless you know of any private tuners uploading good FT compatible images somewhere) - then put the quiet insert in and try all three again - but if you guys did an episode on it I'd just know without all that R&D!

[@DUNEATV]

N/A YXZ’s running with a turbo X3!

[@therowdyboysnetwork2827]

Those yxzs are bad ass!

[@DUNEATV]

Isaac Martin Yes they are!

[@vinniemaxx1590]

I like to see a fast YXZ even though I have a RzR

[@nitrocrew_]

Awesome love the drag race footage you guys are killing it......no Dyno corrected altitude BS...etc real world run what you brung!!!!!!

[@URBANAMERICANTAC]

Some times I pretend to be racing Sous with my matchbox SXS. he always wins. That son of a bitch.

[@dannywilliams2989]

Lovin the YXZ content. That drone video of the race is awesome! Good idea! Doing it right mike!! Starting to feel bad for doug though...

[@DavidGeorgevaladez]

Awesome video brothas!!! Keep them coming. A friendly Teamsters hello from Menifee, Ca ✌🏽I just picked up a 2016 red YXZ and I’m loving the crap out of it.

[@dougbutterfield5505]

Congrats man!

[@jasonrichter6499]

Sous' commentary= hilarious

[@SXSBlog]

Man yeah I know! I wish more of the audio would have worked out. There was a lot of wind noise! :(

[@mid-misage3416]

That's impressive for such a cheap and easy mod

[@tuf150lara6]

Hell yea im getting a alba flywheel myself!! That yxz did good agains the x3!! Nice vid as always!

[@SXSBlog]

Awesome choice man. It made a big difference.

[@leemcginnis738]

Ok it's 1000cc Sous's turn now. He has to get a turbo! As for the YXZ, I think I might have to get me one of those Alba light weight flywheels.

[@patrickthomas8333]

as usual...another entertaining video...helping me get through a boring workday. Thanks

[@DUNEATV]

More YXZ videos please!

[@SXSBlog]

There will be, we promise

[@Chinese_Chicken]

For Doug's you guys should try the Ultra light FW from Alba for a comparison

[@jn102155]

Just plain good stuff. Loved every min 👍🏻

[@SXSBlog]

Thanks for watching bro!

[@thetruth0888]

This video deserves alot more views!

[@nucci1975]

Patiently waiting on Hatfield & Mcoy Video.........Nick! Don't let me down bud!

[@dougbutterfield5505]

We need more subscribers so we can get Nick to quit his job and edit these things full time.

[@nucci1975]

Doug Butterfield I'm working on it as hard as I can for you guys. Our group just got back from Trail Fest in Gilbert W.V. and rode Rock House. Telling as many sxs'rs we ride with about your channel. keep it up

[@zaneturner8423]

What were Mike mods on his yxz ? For a N/A car to hang with an X3 that's impressive.

[@SXSBlog]

Full exhaust, tune, flywheel. She runs GOOD

[@moto420television5]

Really Impressed! Plus we all know whats more reliable!

[@krispazik4682]

Alba flywheel but who's tune and exhaust, will it work with the yxz ss?

[@Chinese_Chicken]

Kris Yes, I have the 2.1lb flywheel on my SS with Trinity full exhaust and Alba Tune.

[@xDIRDx]

I have a yxz ss and I put the heavy weight flywheel because I ride more trails slow tree stuff and it took away a lot of the clanking but I think I read somewhere that if you turbo them if you put the heavy on it it helps keep the boost up between shifts. Maybe I'm wrong tho. But maybe I might get a light one to because damn!

[@Chinese_Chicken]

It makes sense since a heavier flywheel rpm's drop slower in N than a lighter FW. The YXZ shifts so fast anyways I doubt it'd be a big difference in rpm's dropping.

[@tittledieselperformancellc]

I want that drive line in a grizzly, a true trans, true clutch and 3 cylinders would kill on a little grizzly! Specially mud racers, that would be perfect to get the power down

[@Jamie-ww3yz]

30 hours. Just wanted to know if it is that way with all of them. Thanks for the info. Is there a video of the install of the v bar in the windshield area out there?

[@captainkulito1500]

Good video. I like how you guys drag race the machines after upgrades... using Doug's Yxz as the general baseline. After watching this vid I can guess how much faster the supercharged xyz is vs the light flywheel yxz by comparing how each does against Doug's Yxz. Seams the Yxz with the blower is faster (big surprise there) but is it 2,850.00 bucks faster?

[@SXSBlog]

Yeah that's a good point bro! Mike's runs super hard for n/a. We'll have a drag race put together soon here between the supercharged YXZ and Mike's YXZ.

[@treasureseekerintheway3515]

That held its own against the x3, I was really surprised.

[@outlaw13ish]

He'll yeah keep up the great videos. Hope you guys make it to oregon sometime

[@pjbuckmaster]

Well, Doug has to do something to his machine now. All the guys that Doug has helped upgrade their machines should chip in money and buy him some mods for his bike lol. Great video guys, shows people what 3/4 of a pound off of a fly wheel will do to a machine.

[@joelemire1913]

So far you guy's rock like it

[@whosurdaddyds650]

I put a lighted flywheel on my polaris 400 2 stroke quad and What a difference! Lot faster and on and off throttle difference too. It works im telling u.

[@SXSBlog]

Yeah man, it's one of the first things we used to do on the old Banshees too. Can't forget the basics!

[@skippymcgenkins6808]

Does sous have a programmer on the xp. If not tell him to get the dynojet cx, its awesome you can read and clear codes and do custom tunes.

[@SXSBlog]

He has a custom tune from PWRTune. Runs good!

[@dwrightproductions8281]

I got a chance to drive one of these manual nothing does it justice and my face was frostbite from not having a front windshield😂 really helps

[@kindts89]

I really enjoy ya'll videos. I have a YXZ and in your Light Fly Wheel episode Mike mentioned" he was 6 mph not barreling on the gas". What did he do "right back there" if you don't mind telling. Thanks

[@SXSBlog]

Hey he was just chugging along and seeing if it stalled out or anything weird. It was fine!

[@joshmaru]

I need a Doug in my garage buds.

[@tahoe9813]

Great video, and it’s amazing that something that small or simple might seem “trivial” at first glance can make such a difference. As for the loctite...nothing’s worth doing unless you’re going to over do it. Duh!

[@NorthernRiderOffroad]

That was an awesome mod!! Love the races

[@luisgarcia6577]

Has any one made their own light flywheel? I used my stock and took it from 5 pounds to 2 pounds. Used a car brake lathe and seems to work fine..

[@kylestewart8354]

ok, so I'm thinking YXZ supersport DCT with alba fly-wheel, full exhaust and 50shot NX. and of course tuned. Somebody PLEASE make some BANSHEE decals for the YXZ!

[@camronboldenow2973]

You guys should come to utv takeover in coos bay Oregon in 2018

[@Chinese_Chicken]

Agreed. I live here and hit the dunes every chance I get

[@lucasvanblaricom3316]

When is rick coming back?

[@ghulamfarooq3587]

Hi guys, it's really superb video many things to know. I appreciate your these helpful videos. Just i want to know about rekluse clutch, it's advantage and disadvantage.

[@shanebrewer530]

What do you mean "if you enjoyed the video".....of course we did!

[@SXSBlog]

YOU RIGHT DOOD

[@shanebrewer530]

Better than watching tv

[@vinniemaxx1590]

GRATZ on 6k subs keep it guys.

[@SXSBlog]

It's flying right to 7k! Crazy!

[@RawDawgRandy]

for some reason, I'm not a Mike fan. never met the guy haha. But his rig eats! impressed.

[@dougbutterfield5505]

Mike doesn't play around, you'll be seeing plenty more out of that one.

[@KnownSender1]

I love it when Sous is bleep bleep turbo just kiddin bleep bleep bleep just kiddin laughed so hard thanks guys I need that 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😎😎😎😎

[@KnownSender1]

At the end of the day when it's all said and done the good thing about that Mike bought x3 😎🤣😎🤣😎🤣😎🤣😲😲😲😲😲💯💯🤯

[@danielvigil3397]

I want to see a race with mike against the supercharged yxz

[@OSUlax959]

One minute into video, wondering if the light flywheel will cause a rough idle

[@SXSBlog]

Not at all!

[@dougbutterfield5505]

Nearly no downside from what I could tell

[@TagGeorge]

Send a notice/Email to Alba to get them to watch this video. May get some goodies sent your way. It is too bad Doug probably cant afford a 2nd machine so he could keep his yellow one as a baseline for future mods. Then mod and ride in his new one.

[@robertocampos2056]

Is this the FeatherWeight or the Ultra Light Racing flywheel?

[@Jamie-ww3yz]

So guys I recently purchased one these. Just have a question are these things cold natured or what ?mine doesnt want to run good when first started

[@SXSBlog]

Yep, gotta let her get a little heat in it. If yours has a bunch of miles it's also possible it needs a valve clearance adjustment

[@SuperDunner]

Ditch it all together !!

[@shotbyryan]

Nice fast and furious reference lol

[@paullove5057]

Doug,its time for some mods.

[@dougbutterfield5505]

[@spayne8390]

Great vid buddddss!

[@Fonzieshoots]

Okay so I just got a yxz. What exhaust do you guys recommend

[@morehp1]

Doug have you ever checked your valve Clarence? Could be were the little loss of hp is coming from.

[@SXSBlog]

We've talked about it but haven't gotten to it yet, I suspect you may be right

[@bigmuffslayer8836]

Hey Doug I have the 17 ss se and the issue I have is after riding for awhile eventually the radiator gets caked in mud and I over heat so could you make a video on some way you guys could protect the radiator without moving it?

[@tuf150lara6]

Bigmuffslayer Camurderface theres a guy on yamaha addicts page selling some radiator guards has lot of good reviews!!

[@dakotalayinlow]

new subscriber.. cool channel. You guys are from Michigan, right? cheers!

[@chriscardoza9714]

That think is pretty fast...

[@apmaman123]

Great video, quite astonishing to see what one mod can do. Could it be lightened even more? specialist drilling etc to lighten and balance again? Flywheel and turbo ;)

[@SXSBlog]

It could be lightened more, and some people have done that, but there really is a sweet spot with flywheel weight and Alba put in a lot of time to try to find that. A little bit of mass to help keep things spinning between power strokes is a good thing.

[@claytonupton1774]

Is mikes supercharged in this video?

[@joshbeaty9785]

Doesn't take long to change the flywheel... so how about supercharger with light flywheel vs X3

[@SXSBlog]

We'll get them all out to race soon here. So busy!

[@nanate8190]

Didn’t we see 68 on the speedo? Lol light weight kit was worth it from the looks of it.

[@SXSBlog]

Mike must have been seeing things. I didn't utilize every pull to make the video so MAYBE there was one in there where he hit 70...

[@nanate8190]

SXSBlog.com he rounded up. I mean “ask any racer, any real racer” 70mph sounds better than 68. Haha

[@jacobeller7701]

Quick question about the YXZ I just bought a 2017 sport shift. And I was wondering why it shifts so loud is that normal??

Alrighty thanks guys!🤙

Too slow.

Couldn't you take the stock flywheel and turn it down on a lathe? Great video!

That's what I did..

Brad Cimock that x3 about got stomped by the yxz. I'm overly impressed by that.

Randy Bishop we are talking about a STOCK x3 compared to two modded yxz.Have those two yxz race dougs brothers x3 and see what will happen,that will be impressive

I wanna see Doug's bros x3 vs the supercharged yxz. I'm a huge can am fan. I have a mav and commander. doesn't take away from mikes yxz.

[@dougbutterfield5505]

Just gotta let everyone show their hand first... and Randy, Steve's (by brother) X3 is an absolute animal with the tuning and intake. It's pretty undisputed as the drag king of the group, for now.

[@RawDawgRandy]

idk if I've missed it in the videos or not. But what tune you guys use? Or is it a secret? Haha. I seen in the last drag that Steve's x3 was in just walked on everyone 😂😂
