I expect this every ride!
That guy works in parts at a Yamaha dealer about an hour from me. He ordered my gear reduction for me. He's got some places for us to ride at. I was just txt him pics of the 32's. His rig is stock and wanting to do the tires and gear reduction.

I was going to get the White YXZ if the talon didn't come out. For my riding all I would need to add is the heavy flywheel and for the difficult rock crawling I would install my 26 inch tires. My 2016 YXZ is still like new with over 17,000 miles. The thing I hate the most is the maintenance. The oil change and grease job is difficult. Repair is difficult too. Replacing the water pump, stator, and removing the radiator takes time. I had to have the top right mount welded up. The quality is good but mine had a few failures, performance is great. The 19 is Turbo Ready.

Yea, the '19 has a lot of changes and fixes. I'll have the heavy flywheel and gear reduction Tuesday. Hate to do the reduction but some our riding is pretty extreme and would make it safer to do so. Only 4 White SS SE in the South East so got the base SS and ordered the X2 shocks for it. It does have grease joints all over unlike the pioneer, not sure if the Talon will have any. I'm lucky to do 1,000 miles a year vs a month for you lol. Performance has exceeded my expectations.

Yamaha did a great job with the transmission cush drive and it does a great job protecting the drive line. The YXZ is holding up to extreme abuse way better then the RZR. My cush drive is clicking when I'm hammering through rough stuff at speed. Its going to be hard to sell with 20,000 miles so I may just keep it. I thought about installing the 2019 gears but I will be driving my Talon on the tough rock crawling rides.

A 32” Terrabite and a 32” Carnivore. Both unmounted.

Just in case anyone was curious. Both measure 32 at 18-20 psi and both are short obviously at ~10psi.

Ya my friend I’m having a hell of a time justifying what I want. Yami has been calling my name for a sport for awhile. I’m really hoping things are better then I fell they will be. Watching your build!

Mocking up a custom rear sway bar setup. The stock bar is awesome for faster riding but not so much for flex. I'm hoping it will give me enough sway control but still be able to max out the flex. Its a circle track bar with splined ends so I can change bars to a different rate easily. Stock bar was 1.25" dia. This one is 7/8".

I figured you had a button that disconnects it like a power wagon

A lot of the canam guys run those mini shocks on their sway bars. I’m assuming for flex?

Yes. They are adjustable so you can tighten the damping to make it act like a solid link or loosen to let it extend. I mentioned that to your buddy at takeover with the x3 to loosen those off but I don't think he knew what they were for.
