I pick mine up today, couldn’t be more excited. I’m up in Utah and can’t wait to tide it.
Sweet! You're going to love it. Thanks for watching!
I think you will be pleased with your new machine. I have a 2021xtr and love it. Looks like you have a paradise area to ride
Oh yea there are no shortage of areas to ride back there.
Nice review!! You brought some actual real world thoughts for people. Keep it up.
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Nice. Enjoy. I got the Wolverine 850 X2 a couple months ago. First mod was to override the seatbelt and I got those filler panels too from the same company. Seem to work good at keeping mud and snow from getting way up in there. 👍
Very cool! Hope you're enjoying the machine!
I have this same 2022 machine in the 2 seater version (bought it late November). Love it so far. Bought it mainly for work and some play. My cabin is up high near the top of a mountain and the terrain is steep up there, so I needed something with real 4x4 capabilities, and this has it for sure.
Glad to hear it! It is a sweet machine for sure. Cant go wrong with Yamaha
@@OdysseyOffroad Got to test it out in some major snow/ice and it did great. It's about 2 miles down to get to the valley and out to main roads and it did awesome both down and back up. Some areas are 12-13% grade and it made it no problem (just had to keep at least 2 tires of the ice at any time of course). Overall I am really impressed and happy with this thing. I installed the OEM glass windshield and soft rear window and that combo has been great as well (keeping the really cold wind and snow off of me).
@@dekindorcas9780 awesome! I agree its a very nice machine.
Nice walkaround! Welcome to the Dark Side of the Force.
Ty!
Nice back drop of the Santa Rita's. Not much riding left in those mountains. Be heading over to the Empire Mountains today. Enjoy your 4 seater... RMAX2 FTW!
I take it you're from the area since you recognized. There's a ton of riding up in those mountains actually. There are a few trails that were closed due to mining but there is hundreds of miles of trails up there I'll show you around sometime if you like. Nice to hear from other RMAX owners.
Beautiful Machine bro!
Enjoy it 🙌
Thank you bro!
We just purchased ours today and they deliver it on the 29th. Ours was purchased to take down to our house in San Felipe BC. It is going to be used for trail riding and a grocery getter, we're excited to try it out. Our choices were the teryx4s, commander and this one.
We'll soon find out if we made the right choice!
Of those three units I would say you definitely made the right choice congratulations Hope you enjoy it!
Also in az but closer to tucson will be buying a 21 rmax2 LE in the next 2 weeks looking forward to it
Terrific, congratulations! Im just south of Tucson myself.
Looks awesome!!
Ty🤘
Thanks for the awesome video.
ty for watching im glad you enjoyed it! please consider subscribing!
Look up extreme metal products. They make a nice rear bumper for the rmax. You can sorta sit on it instead of the tailgate
Yes I've heard of them they make nice stuff.
how does it handle going around corners on pavement with the locked rear diff? Does it wear tires really bad?
I would like to use around town instead of a golf cart in addition to trails.
@Bryan P. Allen tire wear is based on the tires. A good radial like tusk terabites handle rd use very well. I have never had a utv with open rear diff and I use them all on pavement without issue.
where do you plan on carrying a spare tire at, if you do? nice video. thx
I have never carried a spare tire on any of my machines I typically carry a plug kit and a compressor.
Hard to see, but are they any manual adjusters on the shocks left? Like anyway to adjust the rebound still on the bottom of the shock or are you stuck with just a soft, medium or stiffer compression switch on the dash and that’s it…. You’d think by now these companies would have fullly done up shocks with hi and low speed compression, rebound and ride height
This one just has the IQS which is all electronic switch on the dashboard. You can get the R max sport which has fully adjustable shocks as you describe above. However, that only comes in a two seat.
Hey great video. You never posted the info for the wheel well panels? I just bought mine and want to get those covered up. Also how is that windscreen working out?
Hey, thanks for watching. The half windshield is working out as well for me. No scratching and I like it goes on and off easy with the clamps for cleaning.
As far as the mud flaps if you look in the video description there is a link for those the windshield and the front bash plated all listed.
@@OdysseyOffroad thanks
@@OdysseyOffroad I ordered the ones from Mudbusters.
Enjoyed the video! I want one, just didn't pull the trigger yet! I learned that the base model doesn't have the three ride settings from what I gather it's a great option!
Thank you! Yea only the se comes with the electronic suspension.
@Odyssey Offroad I was referring to the engine mapping knob on the dash. Yes you're correct the shock settings are a manual adjustment on top of the shock.
@@johnshuler1396 oh gotcha. That makes a huge difference the engine mapping. I believe without it you are always in standard mode. Sport mode is a huge power gain. It's pretty handy I used that knob a lot.
@Odyssey Offroad Yes I believe it would be one of those options you shouldn't do with out!
Congrats! I love my 22 X3 but love Japanese products . I’ve owned them all and they’re hands down best overall for quality.
I do put can am a step ahead of Polaris for overall non abuse quality for North American manufacturing.
Thank you and yes I totally agree with everything you just said after the Japanese products I definitely think Can-Am quality is better than Polaris not by a small margin either.
@@OdysseyOffroad YW. Yea it would take me way to long to type out my machine history but long story short . We had a late 90s Polaris sportsman and i currently have a 2019 Sportsman XP 1000 premium. I think they totally focus on quantity and profits over quality control and sometimes I think their engineers are on acid and just say , well the public will let us know what doesn’t work well.
Have had Kawasaki, Yamaha , and have 3 Honda units right now. Anything Japanese is much much better .
The Yamaha ultramatic CVT system is hands down the best on the market. If I was can am I’d pay Yamaha just to use their CVT and be done with it .
So busy right now and not much free time til later and I’m dying to just get to go riding brother !
As of right now my dislikes for my 22 x3 aren’t bad . Just oem brake pads are noisy , and the clutch noise at 5100RPM.
@@joekearney the clutch noise i fixed with foam pipe insulation in the intake behind the head. It draws plenty of air from under and around the intake in the bed. Squeaky brakes are normal with canam.
How’s the engine heat in the Yamaha? My rzr runs so hot I can barely use it on a hot day
Shockingly zero heat. It's mind blowing actually. I can even keep drinks in the cup holders 😂
I would be upset to. I saw your wrench on and I think it's ugly because the roof line is so far above the door line. Good luck with your new unit for sure. They are an expensive toy for sure. I have a new 2022 General 4 XP Deluxe Ride Command Edition. Were you doing all your fluid checks and changes on the Polaris? Just curious. Good video.
Yes the fluids all were changed on the polaris very early on. The dealer even said the front diff fluid was like new. So far the Rmax has been great!
Beautiful. Why would you go KRX over the RMAX if you were buying a 2 seater?
Ty! I had one and absolutely loved it. Sold it because i needed a 4 seater. Im hoping i love this rmax just as much.
How much room do you have to spare on this to clear standard 2 car garage door height? Plenty for light bars?
Just makes it. Roof is high on this car.
Is that the Yamaha brand windshield? Or aftermarket part? I just bought my RMax last week, but undecided which half windshield to buy. I see there's a $50 dollar difference if you buy it from the Yamaha website
First of all congratulations on the new rig! You will love it. This is the Yamaha brand windshield yes. I believe i ordered mine from Yamaha website as well with the front bash plate.
How do you like it so far? I’m about to buy this exact machine. Thanks for the video.
I absolutely love it so far. it's a solid well-built and very comfortable machine. And very capable. Thanks for watching and please consider subscribing plenty of more content on the machine uploaded already and more to come.
Nice review! I have the same machine on order. Have you considered disconnecting the swaybars for more articulation and smoother ride? With IQS, could easily go to firm for higher speed and may give sufficient stability. Curious to hear your thoughts and if you might try that.
First of all congrats on your machine that you have coming I'm sure you'll love it. I've thought about maybe just disconnecting the rear so that it'll be just like the two seater the two seater only has the front sway bar. If I do I'll be sure to post something about it and what my thoughts are.
I will mention that I am coming from a Talon 4-seater and your comments on that are accurate. Talon is a great machine and we had a lot of fun with it, but are looking forward to a more feature rich machine with short wheelbase and the CVT with the Yamaha wet clutch.
@@buddyeast1928 my brother had a talon 4 seater live valve. It was a nice machine.
love it
It is a nice looking machine!
Congratulations!!! Beautiful rig! Love the Yamaha quality! Funny you mention the X3 clutch noise…it’s absolutely horrendous! I can’t drive or ride in a X3…that noise just kills my ears!
Thanks man! Hopefully puting some miles on it sunday.
@@OdysseyOffroad Awesome! Don’t forget to change that oil after a couple hundred miles or so. You’re just like me so I doubt you will forget! Lol
@@DUNEATV yea man they say all fluids at 150 miles. And then amsoil going in. 👍👍
@@OdysseyOffroad 👍🏻
I hope yamaha has the exhaust valve, transmission and frame problems fixed from the 2021 models waiting to see from the 2022 model before i make a purchase
Thanks for watching. I have not seen manny issues with 22s even the 21s were not many. Remember just a few people on the internet always sound like a million when in reality there a microcosm of what is reality.
What is the ceramic spray you mentioned, sounds interesting. Thanks.
Oh there's a million of em. I like the mothers in a green bottle. Chemical guys makes a good one too. Same stuff you would use on your car. Just go to the detail aisle where you get your car care products.
@@OdysseyOffroad thanks for the quick reply. I haven’t ever noticed a ceramic spray before or know anyone that uses it, so will definitely check it out, thanks.
Still waiting for our ‘22 RMAX2 SE. (CDN).
@@stevebusby55 oh yea its common been around for years now. The newest thing is graphene enhanced spray thats even better. Lol adams polishes makes a great graphene spray.
Dude I just bought a 2022 Teryx 4 S LE....I love it So you must have missed that. I paid less than 20K and I added 3K of add-ons If you really wanted the Kawasaki.
Sounds like a nice machine! I love this R Max it's a great machine and I need four seats. If I were to get a Kawasaki it would only be the KRX 1000 as I've had one before and it's amazing I couldn't do anything less than 1,000 Cc engine.
How hard is it to change a belt on the trail?
You will never ever ever need to change the belt on the trail on this machine, That's a Polaris and canam mindset. As far as changing the oil I have a video out on that You can check it out.
10 year belt warranty..enough said.
Sucks you didn’t have a heads of on the KRX 4
Or maybe i do? 🤔 Watch my latest video
The rzr and Rmax are very different machines. It’s a sport utility vehicle and for performance has many limitations but might be better for your use
Oh believe me I'm very familiar with the differences. This is my 6th sxs. So far this rmax has exceeded all expectations its truly an amazing trail machine.
Ty for watching!
1 more question does the shoulder pad drive you crazy?
I dont even notice it tbh. But im not a big guy im 5'7 165lbs
I think I could boil water for soup! In my cup holders
@@craigr6763 lol tell me about it i had a few rzrs haha
Couldn’t you buy another set of rear wheels and put them up front to match all around?
Good question, you can do that in the opposite way you can buy another set of fronts and put them on the back but then you have four skinny tires.
@@OdysseyOffroad I’m really looking into getting an rmax but never realized the tires are different until you pointed it out, I’d be curious to know if the rears fit up front. I guess in the long run this only matters if you want to keep the stock Yamaha rim, most people will probably just get new sets anyway
@@itzbishop5256 it's only like this on the four-seaters I think they do it for stability reasons in the back put a really wide rim and tire. The rears will not fit up front without rubbing because the rim and tire is too wide
Can't say I like the colour, but I do like Yamaha products. Must have been a sale on paint, no option.
If I'm being honest with you I didn't buy it for the color I bought it because I wanted the limited edition with all the goodies last year's limited edition was blue I would have preferred that. With all that being said however having it and staring at it everyday The color really grows on you especially the contrast with the silver. If nothing else it'll hide the dirt a lot better.
that front slot in the middle center console is supposed to house the red tool kit. If you didnt get one I would contact your dealer.
Ty for that info!
It is not included on the 2022 so don't waste your time asking your dealer. And it is useless.
I agree, I wasn't going to waste my time asking them anyway because I've never used a factory tool kit for anything on any machine I've ever had. They're just generic crappy tools I carry a more extensive set of tools with me anyway.
Nice. I still think the 2022 Kawasaki Teryx4-S for 18 grand is still the best deal by far and has a 3 year warranty.
The teryx is nice but only an 800 has no power
@@OdysseyOffroad depends on what your doing with it. I'm guessing where you live in the desert it makes a big difference but over on the east coast in tight wooded trails you really can't use all the horsepower because the trails are so tight
Yeah for sure in your application you're probably never going more than 20 miles an hour so I'm assuming it doesn't make much difference. Although I'm sure you could use a little more power on some hill climbs though no?
@@OdysseyOffroad I'm in Florida so no hills for me lol I have a 2021 Teryx4 S and it has plenty of power to spin the tires in mud in high. But I'm mostly in low creeping through the swamps lol we looked at the RMax4 and tried to make it work before we got the Kawasaki but the small area behind the seats and our kids our almost full grown adult so we needed the back seat leg room lol
@@bigseff23 I use all the hp on the east coast
Why not the pioneer 5 seater?
The pioneer is more utility then sport. I was not interested in that. The r max and pioneer are not in the same category.
@@OdysseyOffroad ahhhh ok I just caught up on some videos of the rmax and am in love I will be lookin at this as well instead of a pioneer so thank you for the insight
@@keithltx3353 anytime , its a great machine!
So is this in the same category as the general?
No not at all. This is designed more like the teryx 800. With rear seats over the rear tires.
@@OdysseyOffroad so would this be a good option for 75% trail 25% utility?
@@NG-tz8wo The problem with me four seat RMAX is you don't get a dump bed so if you're using it for utility at all it's really not good unless you're towing a trailer behind it then no problem at all it pulls really well but if you need a dump bed the RMAX 4 does not have that.
@@OdysseyOffroad yea I don’t really need a dump bed just want enough that I could carry deer corn, maybe little bit of fire wood etc. most of my riding would be trail/joy riding but I needed 2 comfortable seats for my smaller daughters. Never been a Polaris fan and looked at the Honda pioneer but the seats from what I seen are not comfortable, but Honda known for reliability.
@@NG-tz8wo yeah it really depends on what you plan on using it for If you need four seats and you don't need a dump bed it should be fine because you can slide the rear seats forward and utilize the whole bed to put bales of hay or whatever
Hello I live in the green valley area and would like to ride sometime with you if your up to it.
What do you drive man?
@@OdysseyOffroad I have a 2018 ranger xp1000 I’ve been riding those mountains for many years, Iam kinda a slow rolling guy to enjoy the views
@@scottduffy808 i m same way. I like to enjoy the trail not fly through them
My local dealer tried to sell me one just like your's today...nearly OTD. Am also looking at a 2021 3 seater Viking for less that half the price...of the Viking had a bigger motor, I'd probably buy it. I, too, once drove Polaris after I'd driven Yamahas my whole life....the Ranger was a mistake...poor design, fit and finish, etc. Thanks for reading.
I would without a doubt get the rmax over the Viking. Much more capable machine. The Viking is purely for utility purpose and not a sport machine.
@@OdysseyOffroad Thanks for your comments. My local dealer wants nearly 40 for one like yours. The Viking is less than half that. Might just settle for the Viking and pick up a YZ450 in a few months for my 60th birthday! Have a good day from Southern California.
@@goodtalker wow 40k!! Thats nuts. I wouldn't pay it either. But i wouldnt get the viking. Just be patient and call other dealers. Be willing to travel and you will get a better price.
@@OdysseyOffroad Kind of what I thought. MSRP is about 27,000 and then there's the additional fees which make it about 34,000. Sales tax here in Cali puts the whole purchase at just under 40K. The Viking is in AZ....probably 15K out the door. Thanks for your comments. Have a nice day.
Good move man. GREAT move. You're gonna love that thing. Here's the thing, used KRX are getting cheaper every day. We have twin 9 year old boys and I have a 17 year old son from a previous relationship who is with me full time. My oldest rides his yz 250 2 stroke, and the twins are getting to the point where they wanna ride with big bro. So if I was you, I'd look for a used 2 seater hot rod for when you and the wife just go out for a rip. The back seats in these things are to small to have any fun in anyway if you know what I'm saying. Enjoy brother. You own a Yamaha now.
I also own a Raptor 700 a grizzly 700 and a Raptor 350. I actually sold the RMAX already haha it was a great unit, but the rear suspension was not conducive to my riding area. I am looking to get into dirt biking myself. Thinking of a yz250fx
@@OdysseyOffroad So refreshing to hear someone wanting to get into riding and doesn't say "yeah I'm looking at a 450" right away. It's totally unnecessary. I mean, if you're a guy that was fast at one time, had a couple kids, and wants to get back into it, yeah, I'd definitely say 450. I own a 2021 yz450f and I just bought a brand new 2023 yz250 2 stroke. My 450 has a thick ass layer of dust (hypothetical dust of course) on it because the 250 is just, SOOOO MUCH MORE FUN!!! Plus I know when I do burn the top end up, it won't be a weekend job getting everything rebuilt and squared away. I bleed blue man. I won't have anything but Yamaha in my garage. They've taken such good care of my family and I since I was on a 1996 yz80. I get basically employee pricing, I got my 250 for $7800 otd. Bummer the machine wasn't up to the task man, I'm sorry to hear that.
@@kelevra558 yeah man no need for a 450 even guys that know how to ride like yourself find the 250s more fun I don't want to be hanging on for deer life I want to enjoy the experience. I come from riding sport quads my whole life so this will be my first time owning a dirt bike. I absolutely loved the RMAX and if I was ever in the market again for another two-seater I would definitely get one. I just wasn't a fan of the rear suspension on the four-seater being so limited.
You keep saying how much you like the KRX. My sister owns one and they are a tank. But you are going to quickly find out how much better the RMAX is built. It doesn't have all the annoying suspension, creaks, squeaks, rattles, ETC. It has more power and the drive modes are awesome in the way the rig handles the different terrain, It has smooth shifting, Smooth power all the way up. As for comfort we ride all day and have very little fatigue, another plus if you like to ride all day. We ride allot of different terrain and I have to say it impresses me every ride we go on. I have video on my channel if you want to see it in action. th-cam.com/channels/KM69a4D3d4TnLDeF47zoGQ.html
Thanks Tony l. Im sure ill love it. Ill check out your video thanks!
eh we have one of each i have none of those noises on either machine and they both have over 4k miles and the krx is a much better ride, the rmax is fine too just not as refined as the krx, I will say the power moode on the rmax is the best thing ever created, but at the end of the day they are 2 different purpose machines but are both very well built and cant go wrong with either
I was the largest Polaris dealer in the nation for over 25 years . I sold Yamaha Honda Polaris. In the business for 65 years and Polaris terminated me because I downed BLM on my phone. I know Polaris very well sold about 500 a month . They are not dependable and their warranty sucks
Wow thanks for the comment! Always good to hear from people in the industry.
I heard about that and I support you. Fuck that terrorist group
@@Shawn_fast thanks
Merry Christmas friend
@@russellabernathy3241 need to come down there and buy an rmax off of you!
I don't like the no park and they all have an e-brake, in my opinion they need another 40 HP minimum. I'm still leaning Pro xp 181 HP but I'm researching power mods for the rmax.
I can tell after owning almost every machine. Unless you strictly ride dunes. The turbos are useless. The best machines i have had have all been naturally asperated 1000cc machines.
The rmax is no different. Has plenty of power all you will ever need trail riding.
I came from a can am x3 with around 210hp and a yxz with 160hp and just bought a general xp and the power is plenty you don't need all the power to have fun loving the sport utility alot more especially in the woods
@@p0weraid exactly
While these machines are nice, they are horribly overpriced!! For 30k you can buy a nice truck or jeep!! If everyone would just stop buying these for like a year the prices would come down to somethin reasonable!! Crazy!!
These days everything is overpriced i agree. Unfortunately you cant get much in the way of a truck or jeep for 30k anymore either. Gotta pay to play, just a matter of how much you want to pay. There a re many sxs options for less money. Just depends what you need vs want.
A Jeep or truck weigh far more when compared, they are much slower, worse suspension, far bigger in size and Jeeps and trucks aren’t allowed everywhere a UTV/SXS are allowed. These fit in the back of Toy hauler or almost any trailer whereas the Jeeps or trucks don’t.
Since there's very few parts in a RZR front diff, it sounds like sour grapes because they wouldn't replace a broken Spargue carrier under warranty.
It wasn't the carrier. 👍🏻
@@OdysseyOffroad My buddy went through three warranty fights on two highlifter 1000 4 wheelers and a rzr 1000. these were new, low miles. Polaris dragged their feet for several months before they fixed two and rejected the other
After that experience he fixed the one they wouldn't then sold them, switched brands, and couldn't be happier
@@heydude4532 yup that sounds about right unfortunately.
I like the RMax except the back seats are pretty useless for an adult, no leg room, bad design
Its not bad but its meant for a family with kids not hauling 4 adults.. The kids love it especially the visibility.
Did Yamaha really discontinue the Green one ?
That yellow and gray is hideous !!
I just might have to go with the Polaris general 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
That's just the base model color. Don't buy for color. Buy for quality.
@@OdysseyOffroad I bought the rspec..love the green and gray color...and I'll just mod it out the way I want.
Polaris is junk Yamaha is the best
I would agree.
Lame that Yamaha left then dead spaces from the factory
What dead spaces?
Not offend but its so ugly
That's why they make different vehicles and different styles , to each his own no offense taken. I take comfort in knowing that I will never break down on the trail though 😂
Id never buy the 4 seaterin yamaha. Worse back seat out there.
Also thier accessories suck
The back seat's not bad at all. The problem with the four seat Yamaha is the rear suspension travel and sitting on top of the rear wheels but for a slower more technical trail riding it's a great machine a family. The back seat of the Yamaha is not meant to fit adults it's meant to put your kids back there That being said even an average size adult fits back there no problem
