The YXZ1000R is the only sport UTV with a true sequential manual transmission. It rewards drivers who learn it. Here is the performance picture.
Drivetrain Specifics
Use only Yamaha YXZ-specific gear oil - the tight tolerances are sensitive to viscosity. Change every 100 hours. The 998cc triple makes 112hp stock.
Performance Upgrades
Yoshimura RS-9T full exhaust adds 15-20hp and is the benchmark. K&N drop-in filter and velocity stack improve response immediately. Third-party ECU tunes unlock the fuel map for significant gains paired with exhaust. Fox 2.5 shocks at ,500-2,500 for a full set transform the machine on aggressive terrain.
