2020 Yamaha YXZ1000R SS

The Sport Shift (SS) model puts pure sport performance at your fingertips with a 5-speed sequential shift transmission and automatic clutch.

Features may include:

• Stunning, Industry-First Three-Cylinder Engine

Designed to bring a Pure Sport riding character like nothing else in the side-by-side world, the YXZ1000R SS engine was built to deliver high-revving power with the flexibility and character that only an inline triple can provide. With a compact, counterbalanced, DOHC cylinder head, an aggressive 11.3:1 compression ratio and dry-sump lubrication, the YXZ1000R SS engine offers exceptional power, a thrilling 10,500 rpm redline, and high-strength internals ready to handle the demands of high-output modifications like turbocharging.

• Smart Cooling System

To ensure peak performance every ride, the YXZ1000R SS features a vented, rear-mounted radiator. This system not only reduces heat in the cabin, it remains clear of mud or debris build-up, and is designed to funnel cool air through the radiator at low or high speeds equally well.

• Exclusive 5-Speed Sequential Transmission

Nothing in the side-by-side world can match the feeling of banging through the gears using the YXZ1000R SS’s Sport Shift, a sequential 5-speed manual transmission featuring Yamaha Chip Controlled Shift (YCC-S) technology. This system combines the power, durability and efficiency of a traditional manual transmission with an advanced automatic clutch system controlled with sporty paddle shifters mounted to the steering column. Sport Shift offers a high-tech riding experience that anyone can enjoy, with rapid and precise gear selection literally at your fingertips. And optimized gearing gives the YXZ1000R SS even more flexibility to handle nearly any type of trail, from wide-open desert trails to first-gear crawling.

• Ergonomics Built for Performance

The YXZ1000R SS cab features plush, high-back seats with extra lateral support and outside shoulder bolsters, and the cockpit provides a balance of driving confidence with comfort. Shaped floorboards provide generous legroom while still giving a planted feel, and both the driver’s seat and steering wheel are adjustable to ensure a perfect fit.

• Supersport-Style Dashboard

The YXZ1000R SS features instruments inspired by Yamaha’s high-performance supersport motorcycles. Functions include a digital speedometer, analog tachometer and programmable shift light, with readouts for 4WD mode, gear position, fuel level, trip meters, hour meter, coolant temperature warning and a clock.

• Cool-Running Cabin

Drive hard and keep your cool. The rear-mounted radiator significantly reduces cabin heat compared to a conventional forward- mounted cooling system.

• Proven Reliability

Yamaha continues to build industry-leading machines lauded for their peerless reliability and durability. The YXZ1000R SS features fit and finish, components and construction designed to make every ride exceptional.

• Aggressive LED Lighting

Four super bright and long-lasting LED headlights provide brilliant forward illumination and give the YXZ1000R SS a sinister sense of style, with a bright LED taillight for extra visibility.
