2018 Yamaha YXZ1000R SS SE for Sale

Chassis / Suspension

• AGGRESSIVE STYLE: Radical styling shows off Yamaha’s passion for powersports. And form follows function, as the front suspension design permits an extremely low hood line for excellent trail visibility.
• TERRAIN CONQUERING, FULLY-ADJUSTABLE FOX PODIUM® RC2 SHOCKS: Rising defiantly through the front hood and defining the rear of the vehicle, the YXZ1000R’s FOX® 2.5 Podium® RC2 Shocks with huge piggyback reservoirs bring visual impact and unmatched performance. All four corners are fully adjustable—spring preload, rebound and both high- and low-speed compression damping—with a huge 16.2 inches of front travel and 17.0 inches at the rear for exceptional ride quality, tuneability and handling.
• OPTIMIZED SUSPENSION GEOMETRY: Rigid spherical-joint double A-arms suspension retains ideal castor angle and bump response throughout the entire travel range, for excellent cornering ability, light steering feel and straight line stability across the roughest terrain. Front and rear sway bars minimize body roll for flatter, more responsive cornering.
• PURE SPORTS CHASSIS: Optimized frame dimensions make the YXZ1000R the best handling sport side-by-side on the planet. In addition to the performance and durability that comes with Yamaha’s exacting standards, the YXZ1000R also includes extensive occupant protection without sacrificing driver visibility, and a full-frame composite underbody skidplate protects the chassis from rocks and debris.
• YAMAHA ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS): The YXZ1000R features Yamaha’s class-leading speed-sensitive EPS, for reduced steering effort and precise handling in virtually all conditions. The EPS unit is lightweight and compact, mounted high on the new rack-and-pinion steering system, further protecting it from dirt and debris.
• POWERFUL ALL-WHEEL DISC BRAKES: The YXZ1000R offers precise braking control thanks to twin-piston calipers clamping down on 245 mm rotors at all four wheels, for excellent braking power, feel and fade-resistance under hard use. An automotive-style parking brake lever is mounted in the cabin’s center console.
• EXCLUSIVE 27-INCH MAXXIS® TIRES: Developed exclusively for Yamaha, the YXZ1000R mounts 27-inch Maxxis® Bighorn® 2.0 radial tires that offer extreme performance, with increased ground clearance, optimum traction, durability, comfort and steering precision. These tires are mounted to strong yet lightweight 14-inch alloy wheels.
• ERGONOMICS BUILT FOR PERFORMANCE: The YXZ1000R cab features plush, high-back seats with extra lateral support and outside shoulder bolsters, and the cockpit provides 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. Improved cabin insulation keep you cooler when blasting across the hottest summer days.
• SUPERSPORT-STYLE DASHBOARD: The YXZ1000R features instruments inspired by Yamaha’s high-performance supersport motorcycles. Functions include a digital speedometer, analog tachometer and programmable shift light, with readouts for 4WD mode, gear position, fuel level, trip meters, hour meter, coolant temperature warning and a clock.
