2016 YAMAHA YXZ 1000R 60TH ANNIVERSARY AWESOME, Yamaha’s 2016 YXZ 1000R sources a water-cooled 998cc Inline Three pulled from Yamaha’s snowmobile line-up. The engine has been re-tuned for its new all-sport UTV application. The engine features a dry sump oil lubrication system and a huge radiator positioned at the front of the machine.Inside, the YXZ gets its own camshaft profiles giving it a broader powerband through its 10,500 rpm rev range, especially at lower rpms. A single-axis counter balance mounts to the crankshaft and is claimed to reduce engine vibration by 25% at 8500 rpm. Furthermore, the top of the cylinder case has an ‘anti-vibration bolt’ to further reduce bad vibes.To keep the size of the engine as compact as possible, the YXZ features a dry sump lubrication system (baffled aluminum container located mid-cab, behind the passenger seat) allowing for a shorter oil pan without compromising capacity and/or cooling capability. A dual-stage intake air filtration box uses a foam primary filter and a smaller paper element to trap finer debris boosting maintenance intervals. Five quick-turn fasteners behind the cab allow access to the airbox.A sequential five-speed manual transmission, with reverse (shifter mounted on the floor) mates to the front of the engine and is augmented via hydraulically-actuated foot-pedal clutch. The YXZ also uses an ‘On-Command’ four-wheel drive system. A three mode toggle switch includes rear wheel drive (2WD), four-wheel drive, as well as a front differential lock setting which gives true four-wheel drive, say for rock crawling, etc.
