Just purchased a 2019 YXZ SS SE yesterday. I've tried searching the forum but coming up empty or with conflicting info:
1) Tire pressure for AZ desert riding on stock tires (trails and small rocks, no sand dunes). Manual recommends 16.5 front / 18.5 rear, but discussions suggest something lower like 10 front / 12 rear. I will be riding on the road to get to trails.
2) I need a horn. Is there a genuine Yamaha horn or stick with aftermarket like this one from UTV Inc: UTV INC YAMAHA YXZ AMBER BACK LIT LED HORN KIT
3) How to power a 12v air compressor? Is there a 12v outlet somewhere I can't see or do folks hook it to the battery?
4) Is there a good attachment point for a spare gas can?
5) Spare tire mount: It already has the Yamaha cargo box in the rear. Is there an overhead / roof spare tire option?

Thanks in advance.

Air 10 and 12 depends on how rocky the area is . Take your pick on the horn . I bought a viair with alligator clips and go right to the battery. Yamaha tire carrier is quality unit and can be modded to carry rotpax . I wouldn’t put a spare on the roof too much weight up high.

Thanks. So with your spare tire and gas can setup, I guess there is no visibility out the rear? Do you also have the cargo box under there and if so, how do you access?

The Yamaha carrier swings out of the way allowing access to the storage box . I have some visibility with rear view mirror over the top and side of the spare tire . I also have a rear view camera set up.

I went with a Viair compressor with alligator clips straight to battery. Awesome compressors. There should be a 12 volt cigarette plug on the passenger side on the left side of the glove box. I turned mine into 2 USB ports
I do not have the horn shown in the link. Mine has a plastic housing for the horn and did not come with a switch, but I think it was for UTVs. The wife bought it. Any should work
Tire pressures. I run factory and my buddies run everything from factory to flat up to you. I do not have bead lock and ride East coast.

Also in AZ (Phoenix area). I like 10 psi in the desert for the ride but was told by a few that if You run less than the required 18psi, you risk bending a wheel. Just FYI.

AZ (Phoenix area too) - depending on the tire, I vary my psi..

Now I am running BFG KM3 30x10x14:

• 10 psi - no or minimal rocks at fast speed, crawling on rocks may go lower, ok on roads and washes as it is smooth but too little feedback
• 16 psi - My go to pressure - I pretty much run this and bomb through most anything. I am careful of tire placement at speed but with my BFG's on two different cars and thousands of miles, not one sidewall issue.
• 20 psi - Wide open - Crank the suspension down, firm it up and let it rip... Doesn't happen often but it's fun to let it sing..

I've never bent a wheel, hit some rocks pretty hard that put a hell of a ding in my bead lock ring. I even got out expecting my sidewall to be wasted, nope - just a fresh gouge in the wheel ring. I will agree - too low of pressure and the right rock, it'll take out your wheel and likely the tire with it.

Okay as a 2016 YXZ owner that rides AZ, I run 12 lbs all around on stock tires. Paddles are different.

on highway use- you are suppose to have, mirrors, horn, and blinkers mine was not checked. Amazon has a fill kit that you can pick up. The horn specifically- I found a few kits but never bought one over another

compressor- our 12v outlet is right under the passenger handle bar on the left side.

spare tire- I have been working on this. We also have the cargo box. My plan is to fabricate a mount for above the roof. Yes would need to cut the roof a little do this.
