Other features include high-flow intake and exhaust, an oversized rear-mounted radiator, fully-adjustable FOX2.5 Podium RC2 shocks, and 29-inch Maxxis Bighorn eight-ply rated radial tires.



Special Edition (SE) YXZ1000R SS models are further equipped with color-matched contrast stitched seats, a suntop, center-mount mirror, true beadlock wheels, and enhanced underbody protection.

The YXZ1000R SS XT-R package includes painted bodywork, Yamaha-exclusive Maxxis Carnage eight-ply rated radial tires for exceptional traction and durability, centerline pod lights for enhanced illumination, and a custom front grab bar with a heavy-duty Warn VRX 4500 winch and integrated in-cab switch.
