The YXZ1000R SS SE features instruments inspired by Yamaha’s high-performance supersport motorcycles. Functions include a digital speedometer, analogue tachometer and programmable shift light, with readouts for 4WD mode, gear position, fuel level, trip meters, hour meter, coolant temperature warning and a clock. The new Sport Shift system also indicates when the YCC-S is actuating the clutch or Launch System for additional control and driver feedback.
To ensure you can get out of even the toughest spots when far away from civilisation, the YXZ1000R SS SE features a Warn winch package mounted via a new custom front grab bar. Since the winch package was engineered alongside the new YXZ1000R SS SE, the winch’s controls are integrated into the electrical system, putting the controls right where the driver needs them.
Featuring a compact DOHC twelve-valve cylinder head, an aggressive 11.3:1 compression ratio and high-tech dry-sump lubrication, the YXZ1000R SS SE engine offers jaw-dropping power, fantastic midrange torque and a thrilling 10,500 rpm redline. New high strength connecting rods provide the durability Yamaha is known for—even under the demands of high-output modifications like turbocharging. Built for the pure sport side-by-side enthusiast, there’s nothing else like it.
Yamaha breaks new ground with Yamaha Sport Shift, a sequential 5-speed manual transmission featuring Yamaha Chip Controlled Shift (YCC-S) technology. This system combines the power, durability and efficiency of a traditional manual transmission with an advanced automatic clutch system that replaces the foot-operated clutch pedal with sporty paddle shifters mounted to the steering column. Plus, a Launch System provides for thrilling take-offs.
The YXZ1000R SS SE is built to blow away the competition in every terrain, from desert dunes to muddy trails. To ensure peak performance every ride, the YXZ1000R SS SE now features a new rear-mounted radiator: this system not only reduces heat in the cabin, it remains clear of mud or debris build-up, and is designed to funnel cool air through the radiator at low or high speeds equally well.
Cargo area has been redesigned as result of the relocation of the radiator, also front hood styling is improved with room to install optional night riding LED lights. The roll cage has a straight top bar, it doesn't only look sleeker but also improves forward visibility when climbing. The extra rear cross bar adds to the overall structural strength.
Four super bright and long-lasting LED headlights provide brilliant forward illumination and give the YXZ1000R SS SE a sinister sense of style, with a bright LED taillight for extra visibility. The YXZ1000R SS SE package throws out even more light thanks to the centre-mounted auxiliary lights, too.
The YXZ1000R SS SE cab features plush, high-back seats with extra lateral support and outside shoulder bolsters, and the cockpit is built to provide a balance of driving confidence with comfort. Shaped floorboards provide generous legroom while still giving a planted feel during aggressive driving, and both the driver’s seat and steering wheel are adjustable to ensure a perfect fit.
