There is little doubt that the Yamaha in stock form is not good at crawling. But I see two things in that video, crappy tires and a bad driver.

Notice how fast he has got to go to keep out of the clutch. Talked to a dealer last week he said Yamaha is working on a trail version. The dealer still has 11 of them since October and hasn't sold one. Nobody wants the clutch in the mud. Also told me there is an after market kit that will produce 300 hp that is insane!!!!

Starting out with a Rhino like most of us, It was the "shit" at the time. I, as a lot of people, thought this one was the Game-Changer...... I'm glad I got my deposit back........But, in typical Japanese-fashion. They will get it straight eventually...

If Yamaha would have released the yxz earlier last year, I would had really hard decision to make.

That video is from KOH I think, has tubeworks trans gears in it, 70%lower first gear and the rest are 30%. I think it's around or close to 3k for that.
