Well, sounds like a crappy situation for sure. I was assuming the clutch parts would be cross over parts, but I would also "assume" you wouldn't need to buy new clutches by now either!Yamaha really rubbed me the wrong way-- Burnt a clutch on flat ground-- they dont have the parts and wont cover it, so my week long glamis trip that has been planned for a month with family is not gonna be half as fun-- the machine is fun as can be, but yamaha didnt back their machine and released it without parts being available-- It really pisses me off-- so Id rather lose money than support them..
Now that's customer service!!!Just bring it by and drop it off. It might take a little extra shipping to get parts over nighted, but we should be able to get you back out for Halloween!

That Glamis trip was 2 weeks ago-- this was a quick Sunday trip to Ocotillo, more specifically, pole line road- my buddy bought a new can am saturday night and he wanted to break it in before Halloween Glamis...Original Poster - OP
You mentioned this was a flat ground machine but your early post indicated you and another forum member were at Glamis. In fact your posts indicate that your machine was piloted by someone else and was really pushing your YXZ. Is it possible that the clutch was abused? When was the first oil change?

Is it possible that your buddy my have had his foot resting on the clutch pedal? Being how light the pedal feel is its possible to do without realizing your doing it. Hell after driving mine I get back in my truck and the clutch pedal feel like I am pushing a ton!That Glamis trip was 2 weeks ago-- this was a quick Sunday trip to Ocotillo, more specifically, pole line road- my buddy bought a new can am saturday night and he wanted to break it in before Halloween Glamis...
Nobody drove my rig yesterday except me-- 3 dudes, 3 machines--Is it possible that your buddy my have had his foot resting on the clutch pedal?

I wouldn't let anyone drive mine, I have seen a lot of people let others drive theirs n a lot of the time something bad happens n the owner get f**ked, Sorry that's not for me. One thing about these clutches u shouldn't even rest ur foot on the pedal when not shifting. But all in all this clutch that Yamaha is using is suppost to be heavy duty unless really abused it shouldn't burn up in 346 miles. I am also sure that the 30" tires didn't help either which r heavier n will change the gear ratio too. JMHOOriginal Poster - OP

Yes you get a much better ride. I have a rock crawler jeep . When I when from 33" tires to 37" I didn't hurt my clutch . I broke my transfercase twice before I realized I need to regear my axles from 4.10 ratio to 4.88. So when you put a 3" taller tire something needs to beefed up or changed to keep this thing working the way it was designed .Bigger wheels and tires-- much better ride..
