Wander what it's going be?? Think it maybe a grizzly built like a Polaris ace??? Lmao!!
 
Re:

I saw a picture of the supposedly new sxs .. it looked like a mix of canam and wildcat but it was mostly covered.. I just hope they have a good suspension system
 
Manual trans, 120 HP 3 cylinder engine that doesn't sound like a damn rzr, yamaha build quality..... sign me up as long as the suspension is legit.

Couple more days and we'll see for sure. I hope it lives up to all Yammy's hype... "dawn of a new era."
 
It Looks like A-arm rear suspension, i'm kinda bummed about that


Read this from a big utv engine builder sounds like a lot of hp potential in that engine!

"We are very familiar with the Yamaha 3 cylinder engine. We assume it is a sleeved down variation of the 1050cc snowmobile powerplant. While the engine is outstanding and with our turbo kit can make about 275 hp on 100LL with nothing more than head studs (in the Yamaha Viper snowmobile), the issue is it is rated at 112 hp NA (leaked emissions docs) and it has a gearbox (patent application and leaked specs). If by chance it is an automatic gearbox with paddle shift, Yamaha may have something. If it is a gearbox with a clutch and manual shifter, for most people this vehicle will be DOA. Either way, it will be down on power compared to either the Maverick Turbo or RZR Turbo regardless of the improved efficiency with gears. The great thing about turbos is you can always turn them up "
 
I was expecting big trailing arms too. That being said, Yamaha knows very well what its competition is, and I would be surprised if it doesn't measure up.

Agreed the engine will be bulletproof, even at elevated power levels. Who knows about the trans.

I agree the initial horsepower numbers are disappointing, whoever, we need to see what it does in the dirt before we get disappointed Again, Yamaha knows what they're up against.

Not everybody needs / wants the biggest / most powerful / fastest / most expensive thing out there. I've seen it for many years in snowmobiles - they sell the same machine in 500, 600, 700, and 800 variations, about $1000 apart. The 600s sell the most because they have plenty of power for the majority of buyers. That being said, I would only buy an 800. :)

I completely disagree with that statement. If I was to buy one. I would want the manual!!

Most being the key word. I agree, most people don't want to be messing with a clutch. An electronic trans with full auto mode or paddle shift manual sounds like the best of both worlds that will keep most everybody happy.

When I told my wife it might be a manual trans, she said she would never drive it. She drove a stick every day for years and has a manual trans sport quad too, so it's not like she doesn't know how, she just doesn't want to.

Me too, but preferably with no clutch which i think is what that guy is *****ing about. Full auto mode makes that a non-issue anyway. The reliable gearbox is a huge plus for me, belt failures are very common in utv Racing. As far as hp goes its right in line with the n/a rzr 1k but i'm guessing way better torque with the 3 cylinder. With a turbo it should smoke pretty much everything hp wise.

Agreed!!!! Yamaha won't come out with the baddest thing they can right out of the box, they wouldn't have anything for someone to upgrade to.
 
If it is the snowmobile engine sleeved down then yamaha has a turbo kit For it already
 
Re: Is Yamaha back in the game?
Stunning, Industry-first Three-Cylinder Engine
Prepare yourself for the industry’s first 998cc inline-three cylinder sport side-by-side engine. Featuring a compact DOHC twelve-valve cylinder head, an aggressive 11.3:1 compression ratio and high-tech dry-sump lubrication, the YXZ1000R engine offers jaw-dropping power, fantastic midrange torque and a thrilling 10,500 rpm redline. With lightweight 80mm forged aluminum pistons and a counterbalancer, the motor is exceptionally smooth-running, too. Built for the pure sport SxS enthusiast, there’s nothing else like it.
High Flow Intake System
High capacity intake system features dual air filters—one oiled foam, one oiled paper—affording maximum airflow to the engine as well as durable filtration for the dirtiest riding environments. The re-usable foam filter features tool-free access for easy servicing, too.
Compact and Clean Exhaust System
The three-into-one high-volume exhaust system with center-mounted muffler centralizes weight distribution and is tuned to provide maximum power across the rev range.
Industry-first 5-Speed Sequential Transmission
The YXZ1000R utilizes an all-new sequential 5-speed manual transmission with reverse that permits rapid and smooth shifting, ideally matched to the potent three-cylinder engine. A beefy hydraulically-actuated clutch system is operated by a foot pedal for light, consistent feel - delivering power up to 20% more efficiently than most automatic CVTs. With an amazingly direct connection between throttle and the drivetrain, this new transmission gives the YXZ™1000R an entirely new sports SxS experience that is unmatched by any other machine.
Yamaha’s Exclusive On-Command® 4WD
With the twist of a dial, On-Command 4WD gives the driver ultimate traction, with easily selected 2WD and 4WD full diff lock modes. The YXZ1000R’s all-new drivetrain incorporates Yamaha’s proven On-Command 4WD system to tackle the most challenging terrain.
Advanced Drivetrain
Getting the power to the wheels is an advanced drive system, featuring an external engine flywheel to maximize engine torque, for smooth shifting and acceleration. To deliver Yamaha’s exceptional durability, this system also incorporates an Over-Torque protection system that eliminates spike loads to the front drive case on hard impacts, protecting it from damage without affecting performance.
