Diff Lock

Differential Lock

Differential Lock which acts on the front wheels to give added traction in extreme conditions.

IRS

Independent Rear Suspension

Most Yamaha ATVs and all Side-bySides have adjustable double A-arm independent front suspension, selected ATV and all Side-by-Sides models also have independent rear suspension allowing each wheel to react independently to uneven terrain and optimise handling for different riders and cargo.

Auto CVT-type transmission Yamaha’s Ultramatic transmission automatically provides the optimum drive ratio so instant power is always available.

A sprag clutch engages when slowing down, giving downhill engine braking to the driven wheels, for controlled descents.

Hi-Lo Gearbox Drive Selection

The CVT drive line features manual selection for Forward and Reverse.

Including a Hi and Low ratio options for the forward gears as well as a park position which mechanically locks the gearbox to prevent the wheels turning.

EFI

Electronic Fuel Injection

The EFI system in a Yamaha utility ATV works with a micro-computer to ensure that a precisely metered flow of fuel/air mixture enters the engine’s combustion chamber at all times and under all conditions, to deliver an optimised mix of smooth power and economy.

Winch

Standard Fit Winches

Fitted at the factory winches are a valuable tool to have on the front of your SxS ready to pull you out of the most difficult of situations. Winch upgrades are also available as Genuine Accessories.

LCD LCD Data Display Besides speed (settable to mph or km/h) Yamaha LCD data panels have an engine hour meter, giving an accurate picture of usage. Other readouts indicate time, overall mileage, trip meter, fuel status and, on 4WD models, transmission mode.

4WD 4 Wheel Drive Engage extra traction on selected Yamaha utility ATVs and SxS with switchable 2 and 4 wheel drive.

The Wolverine®RMAX™1000 family follows our development philosophy of “Jin-Ki Kanno” – which translates from Japanese as “the true exhilaration of being one with the machine” – bringing you a super-capable off-roader, in which driver and passengers feel confident to master and enjoy the very toughest terrain.

Durability is something which you don’t notice immediately, but as the weeks and months roll on and the seasons come and go; it is durability which you will cherish most on your ATV and SxS. And Yamaha have earned their Chosen by the MOD, reputation in the toughest of environments. The MOD chose the proven by the army Yamaha to equip the British Army having tried alternatives in the past. And now the 450 powers UK troops on the front line in a number of different theatres and in the most demanding terrain on the planet. Our troops trust their lives to their Grizzly’s which is surely the ultimate accolade for its durability and strength.

Yamaha take pride in developing technology which is useful. All Yamaha innovations are designed to make your life easier and help you at work and in your leisure time. Innovation started early for Yamaha ATV & SxS with shaft drive and electric starting appearing first on the Yamaha YTM225DX in 1983. Many firsts were to follow From shaft drive to such as the Pro-Hauler; the first ATV to feature a cargo bed and EPS EPS, Yamaha was first - Electric Power Steering - which was another world first for Yamaha when it appeared first on the 700cc Grizzly in 2006 and is now featured on 450cc machines and SxS vehicles.

The Ultramatic® drive system features a unique centrifugal clutch which keeps the drive belt under constant tension – a significant factor for durability - plus a sprag clutch that delivers full engine braking on downhill descents. Ultramatic® has been proven to be the most durable CVT transmission available on an ATV, and you don’t have to take our word for it – just check online for independent reports.

Why choose Yamaha?

DURABILITY

Durability – essential for work

Yamaha SxS are Europe’s favourite Utility ATV and people recognise the quality of engineering behind the Yamaha brand.

Any initial financial gain from choosing a lower cost, lesser known, or inferior brand is often short lived and when it comes to replacement or selling on the second hand market these SxS are Durability ensures high resale values likely to have deteriorated to such an extent that they have little or no resale value. When you upgrade to a Yamaha the high residual value, either in the private market or as a part exchange, can be the difference between getting the new SxS you want or getting an SxS on a budget. More money for your used Yamaha SxS means a bigger deposit for your new SxS and you can think about the accessories or the EPS you wanted.

Carrying – sharing the burden The list of things that you want to carry whilst using your SxS is often a long one, so storage and load carrying capacity are always key concerns for utility users. Yamaha make sure that you can load what you need with class leading carrying capacities on many of Class leading rack load our ATV & SxS models. Yamaha racks are coated in a wrinkled paint carrying capacities which is heavy duty and scratch resistance so it can stand up to the biggest loads. As if that wasn’t enough you also have heavy duty tow ball mounts so you can tow trailers and equipment behind the ATVs & SxS. Other models have on board storage compartments for phones, keys and other valuables. Yamaha ATVs & SxSs are ready to shoulder some of the burden and lighten your load so you can ride and work efficiently.

ATVs with engines up to 70cc are recommended for use only by riders 6 years and older and always with adult supervision.

ATVs with engines of 70 to 90cc are recommended only for use by riders 12 years and older, and always under adult supervision. ATVs with engines of 90cc or greater are recommended for use only by riders 16 years and older. ATVs are built to operate within their design limits. Safe towable weights, together with maximum carrying capacity are identified in the owner’s manual if applicable. For durability, reliability, but most important of all, operator safety, under no circumstances should the recommended capacities be exceeded. Yamaha recommends that all ATV riders take an approved training course. For safety and training information, see your dealer or call your Yamaha Distributor in your country. ATVs can be hazardous to operate. For your safety: always avoid paved surfaces. ATVs are designed for unpaved surfaces only. Riding on paved surfaces may seriously affect handling and control and can cause loss of control. Always wear a helmet, eye protection and protective clothing. Never carry any passengers. Never engage in stunt riding. Riding and alcohol/drugs don’t mix. Avoid excessive speed and be particularly careful on difficult terrain.

Please ‘tread lightly’: always ride in a responsible manner, respecting the environment as well as country and local laws.

The riders in this brochure are professionals: don’t attempt to emulate them. The specification and appearance of Yamaha products will be varied from time to time without notice, and as shown here are illustrative only and are not a contractual description of products. Some models are shown with optional accessories. See your dealer for details.
