Rear mounted rad. Good move.

Yamaha is listening to customers, they changed many things on the YXZ and Wolverine that people asked for.

The new YXZ1000R is redesigned to enhance driver and passenger comfort for a wide variety of terrain, both within the cabin, and throughout the ride. A new oversized radiator has been relocated behind the seats, eradicating excess cabin heat while simultaneously eliminating the risk of clogging while driving through mud. Multiple air vents allow for consistent air intake, even with a storage box or cargo in the bed.
The cabin space has also been enhanced for increased comfort with lower seats and an updated roof design, maximizing space within the cabin for both driver and passenger, while easing entry and exit from the vehicle. The new roof design, combined with the more aggressive body styling, creates greater visibility in a variety of environments.
Optimized suspension settings offer greater ground clearance and a smoother ride in more diverse environments. New FOX RC2 shocks with updated spring rates and new high flow internals developed exclusively with FOX Racing are now available with dual springs and adjustable crossovers. The advanced 26-inch shocks jut through the steeply-raked front hood to soak up 16.2 inches of travel in the front, while massive 32-inch piggybacks withstand up to 17 inches of travel in the rear.

Yamaha does listen to their customers. They have come a long way from making a single utv for ten years.

More questions answered about the 2019 Yamaha YXZ1000r


The number one question about the new Yamaha YXZ1000R, will the rear mounted radiator work on older models? It will fit older models in the 2019 location, however you would also want to buy the new bed tray and radiator cover. Of course new mounting tabs would also have to be welded in and your harness bar would need to be shaped like the 2019 model. Finally, since the new system has dual fans, a little wire splicing would have to be done as well to complete the retrofit.
The new roll cage itself can be bolted directly onto the older YXZ models. The pick up points at the frame have not been changed. A quality aftermarket cage goes for around a $1,000, so if you like the look of the 2019 ROPS, you can save big.

Yamaha’s new YXZ frame has been beefed up in critical stress areas most likely near the shock and A-arm mounts.
Internally, the new lower gearing won’t retrofit to 2016-2018 models, but that’s OK because Yamaha has the complete TAG Gear Kit you can still use if that’s what you are looking for.

Most likely the 4/156 wheel hub and brake system will fit on the older models. The whole package would have to be changed not just the hub.
The electronic Power Steering has been retuned tuned for the new suspension setting and larger tires. This should help reduce the feedback felt at high speeds.
The front center light pod bracket is equipped on all models, customers will have to do the light install themselves or ask the dealer to do it.

The 2019 Yamaha YXZ1000r will be available in September with very little price increase if any. Turbo kits are to come in the fall as well. They will be a dealer installed option, not yet factory installed. Expect a factory turbo version and possibly a cvt option will be available in the future.
