Yamaha RMAX 1000 Rubicon Trail pro footage

Looked like Yamaha had plenty of push help around when they needed pushing. And did I hear something about a tie rod replacement on a Yamaha? 😳

Surely you are mistaken, Yamahas do not break.

Yea right, just like Toyoters, they all have service departments that do more than oil changes.

I think both of you need to come to Tennessee next year and hug it out.

My Wolverine went through an engine, two belts, grenaded the clutches, broke at exhaust manifold twice and went through a couple fans. All before 3k.
Still considering possible RMax as a replacement though. I think those plastics would stay on better then Talon. It’s the extra machine for family/friends so be nicer not to replace plastics constantly. Want another Talon but don’t know that’s good machine for that use.

That first generation Wolverine sounded troublesome.

Too bad we didn't get any video of a 520 towing a P500 recently at Windrock. Drug it through a few technical spots for sure.
What trail was that?
@KyGal83 @Smittyp

Mines been great. It's been rolled , flopped and stuck in the mud. Not 1 issue. However last spring yamaha had a recall on some parts in the engine. They put a whole new top end in a 4 yr old sxs that had no issues. For free

I am glad they took care of you.

After owning several Yamaha dirt bikes over the years, I can say that they are excellent quality but getting parts has never been easy.

I am not sure if it was a dealer or factory issue.

My brother's 1st rmax he rolled it but didn't sustain any real visual damage. He received a stop ride because of a missing weld on the shock tower. His was missing the weld and it was bent. Yamaha gave him a brand new machine!

I am glad he wasn't hurt, and I am sure Yamaha was too.

I remember reading up when I was about to buy one and one of the touted improvements was the beefier shock mounts. At least they are aggressive about fixing their mistakes, that's a good thing.
