First off we both love the Mach ... It is really built good no rattles even at speed brakes are awesome and the sound of the motor awesome ..
Pros .. Most fun driving anything I have ever drove period have have a 600hp mustang and brother has a viper
Feels really light in woods very very nimble
Has way more than enough power to do anything you want
Shifting is pretty smooth and adds a lot of fun to Mach
It WILL climb some knarley stuff. We did today.
Like driving a Porsche in the woods
Cons. Is NOT a crawler. A recluse I hope will help. It's not happy on rough trails and when I say rough I mean big ledges big logs deep ditches. Does not like them. You can do it ... But I guarantee Yama sells a lot a lot of clutches to people on the east cost
Rear is way way over sprung. I race motorcross and woods and very good suspension guy. Out west it is probably really close out if the box. But when speeds get under 30 way to stuff in the back. And it won't fly right in stock trim. I read all the post about back kicking. (Most Sxs do). But unfortunately there correct I have a real low slope jump I made just for Sxs ( I build Moto tracks ) and my wildcat x I could go 65 feet easy. I couldn't go over 40 ft o so in Yama because if rear kicking up.
Should be simple spring fix I'm sure not only person feels this way and a fix will
Be around the corner
Bad .... Only problem so far with 40 miles is rear sway bar .. Everyone needs to look at yours if you own a machine after only few (rough ) miles. There is a compressed aluminum collar on each side of rear sway bar that keeps it from going left and right. On mine and my brothers the collars have came loose and allows sway bar to move left and right and throws it out of alignment bad. I'm going to push both back to correct position and put a couple tack welds on back side so collar can't slide. You can't weld collar it's aluminum and is just crimped but if you put a big dimple behind it should keep it from moving
So ..... If your wanting a trail machine that you and your wife can go ride on this is not it. ... Not saying by any means you can't. (I will). But it's not easy. Big short ditch you will cuss a lot befour you get out or find a spot and jump it lol.
But ... If you want to haul the mail and slip slide around then it is.
My best compareision is any other Sxs is like a modded utility 4 wheeler .....yxz is like a yzf 450 quad you have to drive it like a sport quad.
We both love ours. And hopefully recluse will help. I don't thnk it will solve the problem but will help it really needs either more gearing in diffs or perfect world a 2 speed box between motor and trans so high will be like it is and then have a low range with 5 speeds. Hope Yama is listening and I bet we have recall on the rear sway bars. Everyon needs to check there's
