I Drove the All-New Yamaha Wolverine RMAX 1000: Polaris Should Be Very Worried - Here's Why! 

@chuck d he's just commenting on the reliability of yamaha chill bro

@chuck d Drink a beer n chill

Same here, Polaris is great at marketing their product but not building them to last. Alway problems.

Finally people are waking up. Moved to Canada in 2012 and instantly noticed they were poorly made. Everyone was buying 30k RZRs and i was laughing. Then i worked for Polaris in the shop. I have built engines, transmissions replaced diffs,clutches, powersteering modules, fuel senders, wheel bearings , stereos you name it. All destroyed junk . Meanwhile i bought a Yamaha grizzly and it lasted 5 years till i traded it for another Grizzly lol. Ill definitely get an RMax because i patiently stayed away from that Garbage.

@@gwood701 oh I knew they was junk 20 years ago. I decided to give them a chance in 2016 thinking maybe they changed. Nope same old thing. Brand new sportsman with a sloppy gearbox. It clanked and clunked all the time . I got rid of it before it failed . The 2 I had back in 99 and 2002 both died of gear box failure . 2016 was the same old sloppy made machine they had 20 years ago . So never again for me. I never had a Japanese machine with slop in the drivetrain before nor did they clank and clunk all the time

Love my Kawi Teryx4

@@mojoalan the Kawasaki Teryx 4 is likely what I will buy next. I don't give a damn how fast it is. They are a tank in the woods and rough mountain trails. They are built robust and solid. That's what matters to me. The 800 V Twin has more than enough power for me. Plus I crawl through the woods and up the trails in low range most the time anyway.

I would have liked to have known the ride impression from the back seat. But true, as a driver seems impressive.

I have a Kawi Teryx4 , same wheel base..6ft adult can comfortably ride in the back all day..the 1k motor would be nice..

Im with you. I need 4 seats for the family and this is what Ive been waiting for. Never liked the limousine 4seaters the other manufacturers offer..

I think the Pioneer is similar.

Get Matt to call him when he gets stuck.

@A killa 4 reala the winch is so much slower.

@A killa 4 reala when I have to recover my friends stuck in the mud I use my TigerTail, really stuck I use my BubbaRope then possibly the winch. On my atv the battery isn’t strong enough for a full pull. By the time you winch back in I’m riding away. But it isn’t my job.

@A killa 4 reala he must have had winch failures in the past. That’s why I have extra recovery supplies.

So we got a call today....

You're right, I do love my 2020 Can Am X3 XRC RR. 195 HP and it absolutely rips, thanks for the compliment...

Ya my can am defender is great thanks!

@@richfarfugnuven6308 ha wait till it breaks. Coming from someone that works on them for a living. You def wouldn’t be gloating if you’ve have to pay brp for parts or fix their hack engineering

I love my general thanks mans

@@dickfacepeterson has not broken yet. Crawls up everything and runs through the desert at 90 MPH, no problem brother.

Not worth the money. Out dated android software.

@@chrislengyel6021 its not an iphone you bum.

I have a gps already.

And damn near 20 mph faster with the suspension to handle the speed. Totally differenct machines. Ones slow ones not

Apples to apples comparison is the General XP and the RMAX 1000 comes in considerably less. Either way, the X2 is phenomenal and a great choice, too!

is it quiet when u cruise

I would rather pay more up front than try to keep up on the polaris repairs after

I just bought one of these and I can tell you this I was a Polaris guy for years but this machine blows the general out of the water probably the best machine I’ve ever owned

Belt drive and I believe Yamaha warranty is 10 yrs on belt

Do u live at the Golden Corral

@@dickfacepeterson 6 foot 4 tall. It has a large center console

Check out some of the Facebook pages. Many of us have 10,000+ miles with no repairs. I'm in a 19-4 seater. 3,900 miles of Hatfield McCoy, and Rush Off-road Park. I run high range 99.9% of the time. I'm on third set of brake pads. That's all. No bearings, no belts, etc.

@@iamupononewheel awesome

Throwing D-Mode into "Sport" packs a bunch!

@@YamahaOutdoors Can you get one of these units to SXSBlog.com already? Good Michigan testing grounds...and the owner has a love for Yamaha...

@@drwinlied We've been in contact!

@@YamahaOutdoors I hear one of the big roadblocks is getting them a machine for their own turf vs having them come to you to review? DirtTraxTV has about 20k LESS subs and they were able to get an XTR to review on their own. C'mon, let's get this deal moving forward! Appreciate it!

the 4 seater is only a little bit longer than the 2 seater. if you had an 8-10' long trailer, you'd probably be fine. you can google the exact length and width specs though.

“Her-a-kin”

Casey's Off Road Recovery!! Or you probably were thinking of Matt.

@@bartz118 or Ed's weather channel!

Yeah seeing the Talons cost this really should be under 20k.

MSRP starts at $19,799

@@brainofjjj MSRP starts at $19,799

And what are you comparing it too?

2,000lb tow capacity, 600lb bed capacity!

2000lbs towing to tow all her thic friends around too.

Go watch Adrenaline Junkie's video of an RMAX destroying those models on Gabrielle ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FfmLd_b4-74.html 'like standing still' 'Yamaha's 4WD is better than Can Am's 3WD'. Calling Yamaha unreliable.......come on!

b/c it's belt drive, it doesn't have a regular geared transmission. The YXZ has that option.

It is Yamaha designed and built and they've improved on the 847 cc engine if you can believe that.

Cool! How did you come by that confirmation for the 999 and 847? It wasn’t easily known during the days of the 708. Cheers.

@@ExpeditionaryRanger pre-release info as well as post release discussion with Yamaha authorities.

@@ExpeditionaryRanger all Yamaha, as ​ @MassiveOverkill noted!

@@YamahaOutdoors Brilliant, thanks guys! No more subcontracted engines... good. The way it should be! Very happy to hear this.

Never happening

Yep. They would sell them faster than Joe Biden can fall asleep.

I'll keep my old 700 thumper, I've never needed more power from my grizzly. If I need to go over 55mph I have a truck

Why? So dumb

@@brly4542 grizzlies top out at 55!? My KQ500 tops at 62.

When they actually run? Maybe lol

@@texasadam4236 wdym have you ever owned one?

Funny how polaris sells such a crap product and people buy them and droves and then when they get raped for repairs they still defend them

@@dickfacepeterson curious why you said raped for repairs in all reality if you know how to drive a sxs in any terrain and have a basic mechanical understanding you should be able to fix anything that brakes I have owned a 2017 Polaris general since brand new I literally drove it off the showroom floor since then I have put on 5000 miles on it and the only thing that has needed “repaired” is brakes and oil changes and belts which I would consider a wear part and I have a group of people in total 30 plus machines with a mix of everything and I still have one of if not the most reliable machine, it has repeatedly started in -40 degree weather. I had a can am maverick before it and it was a good machine but every other ride I was wrenching on it. Do you have any experience with sxs or atv? If so what do you own?

Scorpion EXO AT950. It's a modular design, with a chin bar that swings up and open...designed as a motorcycle helmet but works great ti this application.

Yes

It does and it's an even beefier steering rack than the one in the X2/X4

Kubota makes pretty decent UTVs

@@masonzimmerman8883 my brother was disabled. He lived 15 miles outside of Flagstaff, AZ. He used his Kubota tractor to drive into Flag once a week or so, all off road.

John Deer already do

@@gwood701 and the John Deere is like 400 for a headlight assembly and $5k for a power steering motor. No thanks

And?

You ended up getting an rmax ?
