The 5-speed sequential shift is manually operated
via a clutch pedal and short-stroke shift lever
for smooth, secure gear engagement. With the
YXZ1000R’s direct-drive transmission,
driveline efficiency is increased, supplying
optimal engine power directly to the rear wheels,
while cam dampers on both the input and output
shafts keep shifting smooth and precise.

YXZ 1000R 5 Speed Sequential Shift
|
The YXZ1000R’s all-new clutch design
is optimized for the vehicle’s class-leading
engine output, providing a smooth and connected
shifting feeling with reliable power. The all-new
sport-inspired foot-pedal operated hydraulic
clutch system provides light, consistent and
natural feeling feedback to the driver, increasing
confidence in challenging off-road terrain.
Unmatched
Handling and Performance
|
The YXZ1000R is born of true Yamaha performance
DNA serving up unmatched handling characteristics,
resulting in the vehicle’s features being
perfectly positioned and integrated into a single,
seamless package working as one.
Strategically mounted low and longitudinally
in the chassis, the engine placement affords
the YXZ1000R long rear wheel and suspension
travel for superior sport SxS performance. A
single shaft, one-axis balancer reduces engine
vibration by 25% for a more comfortable ride
while also allowing a rigid engine mount to
reduce weight and offer a more direct throttle/engine
feel for the driver.

YXZ 1000R Rear End View

The vehicle’s front differential incorporates
Yamaha’s proven On-Command® 2WD, 4WD
and 4WD full diff-lock – a driver-controlled
system that eliminates the hesitation or slipping
experienced in computer-engaged systems. An
automotive-style 4WD dial is intuitive and conveniently
located on the center console, and provides
simple and seamless transitions between the
2WD, 4WD and 4WD full diff lock settings.
The YXZ1000R employs Yamaha’s proven
Electric Power Steering (EPS). Set in a new,
more compact and lightweight EPS unit, the optimized
steering ratios provide precise handling through
the best balance of assist and positive feedback
from the terrain. This combination creates maximum
comfort and confidence in rough off-road conditions.
The steering wheel is located in an optimal
position and features a steel armature, soft
grip over-mold, and driver tilt adjustability
for maximum cabin comfort, fit and feel.
Critical for premium handling is strong, smooth
and predictable stopping power, and the YXZ1000R
accomplishes this by featuring four-wheel hydraulic
disc brakes with twin piston calipers at all
corners. The resulting unmatched brake “feel”
delivers added confidence during aggressive
driving. Large 245mm rotors were adopted for
enhanced cooling and reduced brake noise.
