Yamaha, if you reading this, please: offer different versions of the YXZ. Like a YXZ1000R, being the way it is. A YXZ1000XC, being a trail cat with big tires and gear reduction + heavy clutches from factory, and a winch. And something like a YXZ1000DS for the dunes and desert, with a pre-installed GYTR turbo kit and everything that goes along with it...i personally would love the XC idea

I have 3700 miles on my YXZ, most of it with the gear-reduction kit and Rekluse clutch. This thing will go anywhere you want to go, and it is so fun to drive!! The quality fit and finish of the YXZ is unmatched in the SXS industry. After 3700 miles, the cab is still tight as a dish. Everyone I have talked to that has had any seat-time with the YXZ -- just loves it. The gear-reduction kit is now a dealer option for the 1000R version of the YXZ. The 998cc triple-cylinder engine is a monster to say the least, and it keeps you grinning from ear-to-ear. I live near the rock crawling capitol of the world -- Moab, Utah. I have been to Moab 6 times with my YXZ, and it performs like a champion in the rocks and desert conditions.

Yamaha owes it to Tubeworks for saving their east cost sales.

totally think this machine would be so much better with a high low range transfer case..... go Balz out in high and launch your boat or pull a stump or mud bog in low.

Currently considering this gear reduction kit but I'm wondering if and how much of a hit do I take on top end speed after it is installed? 'm just looking to rip on straight aways but when the trails slow me down, I would like to have the best configuration. Thanks

YXZ 1000R SS What happens if you add Gear Reduction Kit And Turbo kit?

i just wanted to know what Ratio does it have

A true wide ratio kit is what's needed. A shorter 1st & second gear. Keep third about where/what it is. Fourth & fifth could actually stand to be a bit taller for the guys running oe sized rubber.

Very informative video. If I plan on trail riding, I should get a sxs with a cvt.

went to mulberry Ark first time have a 2021 txz1000 yamahal don’t like the clutch 5 mph it we’ll kick out not good. putting in a gear reduction 1st 70% 2nd 50%. 3 rd 30% and a clutch didn’t want to give up the soft ride

para que sirve este kit??????

70% is too much off first gear unless you're climbing Everest. And yes you do loose a lot of top end. I lost 10 mph with 30" tires and the OD5th still.

love the vids. 2

I live in northern mn any who wants to gear down a Yxz is just damn scared of it I fly throw mud and tight winding trailed here its fun awesome. ride

The gear reduction should be an already factory installed option for the East and Southeast drivers. I took a test drive down a paved road in a 2016,personally I wasn't impressed with how fast 1st gear would carry you. Made me rethink about buying a YXZ.

Uh isnt it low range?

something I noticed about the yxz is alot of people are buying this thinking this banshee of a side by side is gonna do the job of a big bear. it's too bad people don't understand what this machines intended use is. this up grade is a great idea to help all the unhappy customers who are to stupid to buy the right machine for the type of riding they do. reality is most people who buy this should of really bought a rhino or Wolverine or something with a high low range gear box better suited to go slow.

Same idea for the SS?

They still won't work adrenaline junkie in his vid they had a yxz with a recluse clutch and a 70% gear reduction not only did it get stuck a lot but the clutch still burnt up

My gear reduction has been on backorder for nine months.

Yaaaamaha

LOL, The way people stereotype California is comical. There are thousands of miles of low speed technical trails here. The whole State isn't near the ocean 🌊

no low range? For same money May as well get a Kawasaki Teryx 1000 then. Otherwise Yamaha better lower the price for this thing to $10k

I love how the Yamaha rep degrades people that would buy the recluse clutch kit "they are not very confident". Lets get real honest here on the YXZ for a few min. IT IS NOT AN EAST COAST MACHINE RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. If it was you wouldn't have to buy THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of dollars worth of add on's (from Yamaha) just to make it be able to do the tasks that other SxS's do right out of the box with ease. I guess I should say you have to buy the parts to make it do it as easily as the others do it. Shifting is fun....but not when your slow crawling on rocks and bouncing around because that bounce pulls your foot on or off the clutch pedal. Thanks Yamaha for also degrading people that happen to ride in large groups and calling it a "Parade" and saying that people that do that are not as comfortable with driving a stick. That is not the case. The reality is that you didnt make a machine to do what people wanted. You made a machine to do what YOU wanted and then expected us (the consumers) to mold to your machine. Sorry but it doesnt work that way. Just the fact that you offer the recluse and this gear reduction kit is admitting that you fouled up and only thought about dunners.

let's pay to fix their machine instead of buying a side by side that can do everything better

Buy a new YXZ 1000 then buy a gear reduction kit then purchase a rekluse clutch kit just to be able to ride on the east coast or with your friends,sounds like Yamaha missed the boat on this one ,just go buy a polaris or can-am and hit the trails and be done with it.Time for Yamaha to rethink what they are building.

with them coming out with this they are admitting it has a problem...up here in tight trails this thing is junk

Or, you can spare yourself the expense and hassle and buy a Maverick that doesn't need thousands of dollars worth of "corrections" you know, things the engineers should have addressed during design. I did.

Sorry Yamaha but that's just admitting that these things are flawed to the low speed crawling stuff(which I personally believe people got wrong from the get go and this SxS is more of a desert racer). P.S: Your PR guy sounds like a total condescending DOUCHEBAG. Typical. And of course, no word about improved clutch lubrication and why burnt clutches so easily. Of course not, they are all mighty Yamaha, no OEM is ever wrong. It's alright, Tubeworks it's more than happy to help the buying sheeple with the factory installed problem. LOL.

I never understood why people would want a 1,000cc machine for technical trail riding. these high HP machines were designed for the open areas. there are a lot of great options out there better suited for this type terrian. anything over a 750cc is just wasted.
