2024 Yamaha Wolverine X2 1000 SE Detailed UTV Overview 

I like mine . Have had this machine for almost 3 months

C'mon Yamaha! Lets see that Engine in the Grizzly!

Genuinely nice package, I think Yamaha will sell a lot. Personally, I think that little speedo in the center of the dash is a huge letdown compared to the rest of the interior. It needs to be bigger and attached to the steering wheel. But overall, I think it's a very capable, good-looking machine.

I like the slightly smaller footprint.

that machine is definitely going to be a big seller !

Thanks Mike. I liked your suggestion on the suspension settings. 7:20 The D-Mode switch is an optional addon. _"Cost savings"_ my ass. 😀It's added revenue that should be included on the SE at least. I can see it in a way. Most people aren't going to use it or will use it twice and leave it in Trail mode anyway.

Awesome Machine !

Great vid! Can’t agree with you more. I like my gauges in front of me and it looks better that way.

looks good

I'll be in a market for one this year, as always my go to channel for info.

Like that you're not bashing your knees. Making these items fully "trail ready" still requires extra work by the buyer which is a no go for all of these items but to their credit the entire Industry seems be *"going there"* with say with big mud guards to protect the engine from at least not getting wholly doused in the crud and gunk. Definitely like the rear view mirror as opposed to side mirrors.

The utility/sport machine many have been waiting for, this is a winner. I wish you could unlock the rear diff for use around the house, so you don't tear up your grass, and many uses people do with these machines...

Hey ! really nice video, I test rode a 850 Wolverine (video on my channel) and I really liked it a lot, the only thing was I personally found the 850 was SO nice and quiet but was lacking a little bit of punch power.... Then my friend went and got the Rmax and I test rode that (Video on my Channel) and I loved the Rmax, the power was perfect, but the Rmax was larger and I liked the site lines out the front of the wolverine as you mentioned. The wolverine in the tight trails was so nimble and quick, so I was excited to see Yamaha slap the 1000cc motor in the smaller machine. I'll be looking forward to seeing the ride video, hopefully you guys can get the 4 seater option to look at as well..... my growing family, I'm looking at a 4 seater thats not as long as a school bus lol thanks for all the video, you guys need to come to New Brunswick. Cheers !

I like the gauge setup.

not sure if you mentioned it .. but how a re the skid plates ? plastic or metal and hard to see in video if there are cv boot guards or A-arm guards ? nice video .. thanks

I’m 6’5” tall, how is the leg room for a guy my size

that door handle will suck with upper doors.. but id still buy one

Im. Very interested in this machine along with the nee cfmoto zforce 950 sport gen2. Which machine do you think is better, would you recommend one over the other?

I wish they would have matched the RMAX wheelbase so you can run 30" tires without issues.

Sure hope Yamaha doesn't listen to you about the door height, I think they look great as they are. Totally agree with you about the seat styling though.

Is it a lot louder than x2 850?

No drive mode switch in a SE, I have nothing positive to say about that. My biggest concern really wasn’t even mentioned. Cab noise from the power train. No review should be done without this being mentioned. Love your channel and watch it religiously.

I like to see Yamaha kinda trying but honestly in this class cf moto is probably going to take it

Biggest complaint I hear is how loud these are, while ediving. As if theyre in low gear with high revs all the time. Some owners have put heavier clutch weights in to help

I've always bought machines for the suspension. Motorcycles, SxS, Atv's, whatever. If you put this up against a base General (not the XP) or 1000s then you really got to be looking for something particular in your machine. The 1000s interior is pretty... basic but the doors are higher and the gauges are where they are suppose to be. The Base General also has good doors, gauges and nice interior. But basic shock, steel wheels and no winch leaves it lacking. The Yamaha is looking real good with nice wheels, winch, interior, shocks and roof, but those doors are a let down. Cab enclosures are big here in Nfld. No outside handle and such a large area to cover with a soft upper is not gonna look good, and making an unsupported large frame firm and tight where the door meets the roof line over a couple years of use will be difficult.. I could deal with the gauges, but I don't think that door would grow on me.

Will we get a 4 door model at some point?

Do a full review of this machine.

What is the MSRP? Especially compared to RMax.

Its cute.

4 seater?

How about an X4 1000?

I want one. Then again I want @ Yami 850 in a Grizzly as well. 😂

I've said it for years. Constructive criticism. It's always, look it has doors, a hood, tires. But it's almost never mentioned how easy maintenance access is, where are the intakes, what's the clearance. We live in Canada where there are vast changes in terrain. Knowing what the machine can handle is more of a deal breaker than doors. My area is hard pack, rock, thick forests, and water. Add a good rainfall and then you add deep water holes in trails and peanut butter mud. And we also have the occasional skeg. So when I repeatedly make this suggestion, it's for people to know more. I've had to learn which models suck for my area by trial and error and my bank account. So please, save someone some serious jing and get important details. And heck, make a video on understanding considerations when buying an OHV.

Can add a rocker switch for the Dmode. I made one for my RMax for under 20 bucks.

It’s the exact same display as an Rmax, just moved to the middle. Really an Rmax 7/8 scale. I have an Rmax and couldn’t agree more on the doors. I know they said it was for site lines, i would love to sit and have a chat with the Yamaha engineers. All the low door does is get you muddier period. It needs a door handle on the outside too.

Lol. "Chips and Dip" 😂

Yamaha and BRP, ALWAYS got to pay extra to have extra. Pay extra for a switch ? Nice. Pay for everything never added extras. Otherwise pay thousands more to get a vehicle with that extra 1 switch/feature.

The repetitive loop of the subscribe button and noises really distracts from the video

Tell Yamaha to make the doors more interchangeable between the half door and the full door! And make it easier to swap audio speakers. Real tired of wrestling with doors that weigh as much as I do and trying to bolt them on between seasons! Ugh 😩 don’t buy a hard cab people! Oh an tell them to add a remote winch control

I’d rather have full reviews of the new machines rather than walk arounds. No offense lol

Ditch the mirror and put the dang switch in it for the sport modes. That's got to be one of the dumbest things ever not to include.

Buyer beware! Do NOT purchase the sub woofer for this! Total hunk or poor placement for the sub which is a major design flaw on Yamaha!!!

😂 if all the things u wanted them to do it wouldn't be a 20k machine.

Yamaha is so weird. They have to know everyone is screaming for an all-new 200+ horse power sport machine. They build another little putt-putt. They already have all kinds of performance engines laying around. It's an updated Rhino! They might sell a few on the east coast, and probably none on the west coast.

Another terribly designed machine from Yamaha. I just don’t get it. I’d be driving an RMAX if Yamaha would bring its design philosophy forward 10 years.
