- Thanks for tuning into the channel for another video guys. in this video I review the R-MAX after owning it for 6 months and putting exactly 600 miles on the machine The positives and the negatives!

I just pulled the trigger on a 2024 Rmax LE, this video reassures me of my purchase, Thanks for that. As for the clutch maint at 600 miles, I wasn't aware of that. I just turned 4000 miles on my 019 X2 and never had any issues, maybe just lucky but I will check it out this winter.
congrats on your purchase! The clutch maintenance is at 1600 miles per owners manual not 600, so you got some time. People have reported who have done it to be very dry in areas that need to be greased. You can search the topic on youtube there are a few excellent tutorials on how to do it.
Thank you !!
We own a 2022 Rmax XT-R and we feel the same way you do!
Awesome family machine, performs flawlessly! And you can’t beat the quality of Yamaha Honda and Kawasaki
You could also throw Suzuki into that mix too.
@@aldyson3469 I wish Suzuki would make a SXS.
@@whynotjusttry5401 I wish any of these 4 would make a big boar 2up like atleast an 850. I don't have sxs $. Lol
Sport quad would be even better. 😉
I just picked up the same machine. Came from a Polaris general XP. The only other down fall is the mpg general got 20 mpg. 15 with the rmax. I love the rmax
I agree with everything you mentioned. I love my RMAX ❤
great review ! Just picked up my Rmax2 rspec a couple weeks ago absolutely love it !
I recently purchased a new 2023 RMAX X2 LE. I am breaking it in now. Any advice on break in would be appreciated. I love the machine . Really enjoy your 600 mile review. Keep up the good work.
JIM from Colorado
Congrats on the machine Jim. I would just suggest following the owner's manual precisely you'll get the most longevity out of your engine and belt that way.
Good review! I was just looking at an RMax last weekend at the dealership. Sticker price was beyond what I can afford but mannn does it look fun!
Well price in Oz has jumped a further 14K since then 😲
I've got 5000 miles on my Grizzly and I've never done any clutch maintenance. I'll be trading her in for one of these next Spring :)
2018 grizzly , 11, 800 miles. Original belt . Love it .
Great review of a great machine! 👍🏻
Thanks!
Nice review, totally agree with the suspension part of your review. -Garrett
Thanks man!
The way that u feel about Polaris is how I feel about Can am. I had a 2021 Defender limited with 450 miles and the front dif was going out then I just sold it back to the dealer for what I paid for it less taxes a month ago. looking at the Rmax 4 but now not sure because I seen ur video of u selling it already. looking to see what u get next
I had a canam maverick sport max and had a great experience with that machine for 2 years. The Rmax is a very good machine. Thanks for tuning in to see what's next!
Just picked up the 2 seater
Clean machine. I’m probably making a deal this week on this same unit
Good idea on the grip tape. My foot slides off the pedal alot. I'm going to have to do it on my X2.👍
Damn man, an RMAX, tremor, renegade, and whatever quad was behind it, save some toys for us!
Raptor 700 , Raptor 350 and Outlaw 110 lol 🤘🏻
Love my rmax 2 limited but your tender springs are almost fully collapsed like mine i am replacing mine with aftermarket tender springs.
Yes I was just wondering if you used the in cockpit shock adjustment feature that is unique to the limited edition. Did you find it beneficial and worth the price difference
Yes i used it often, i love it.
Great review, I hate my adventure pro, couldn't get it to come out, ended up breaking the dock. Now it won't turn on other than the battery in the adventure pro.
Oh wow that sucks. I had a good experience with it. I like it.
I liked it till I broke it, I only used it for a dashboard. I didn't do maps or anything else. Probably gonna get life time trail maps
@@darrylhoupt3763 Oh okay. Yeah I noticed it was hard to get in and out when I first bought the machine and then I just left it in after that. The maps actually work really well I guess depending on where you live but near me it had a lot of trails marked.
I live in western Pennsylvania, do most of the trails around home. Been to Hatfield twice. 2k on my machine. Yamaha warrantied the back axles at about 1500 miles. I wished they would have replaced all 4
i just purchased 2023 xtr and got me nervous with the clutch maintenance. u do video on that?
I do not. Its not until 1600 miles. There is a video on youtube though by MassiveOverkill he commented on this video.
Mine has leaked fuel twice now. Been at the dealership for a month and three weeks since I bought it six months ago.
Wow! Sorry to hear that. I've never heard anybody else having that issue. What did they say the reason it's leaking?
@@OdysseyOffroad They can’t figure it out. There’s a very obscure recall on it.
@@davidmartin6721 wow! That's news to me. I'll keep my ear out for anything for you.
@@davidmartin6721 I got a recall notice…it’s a misplaced routing of fuel line under the tank, it rubs and wears hole through your line. Dealer will fix for free. You should got a recall notice. I did mine myself as don’t trust the kids working at dealers these days. Specially Powersports shops. They always filled with inexperienced kids that have no idea what they are doing, least in my area
@@davisexcavating7144 good to hear it’s not just me. However Yamaha is telling me and the dealership that my VIN isn’t on the list.
I really want a rmax sport. Maybe next year
Good call. If I get another one it will be a 2 seater for sure.
Great info on the gas petal
Thanks, just a cheap fix . It's strange it's so smooth never seen a gas pedal like that before.
I have a question. The truck in your garage which I believe looks like a Ranger. Do you pull the side by side with that truck? I have a Chevt Colorado Zr2 and I'm questioning if I'll be able to pull this thing with it
At the time of this video yes, It was a Ranger. It pulled it extremely well. I have a video review of it actually here.

Do you still have the rmax?? How does the interior noise level compare to other models?? I’m considering buying an rmax 2
Thanks!
I sold it a few months ago. Shortly after this video. Interior noise is greater due to the engine underneath you but it is not overbearing.
What did you replace it with?@@OdysseyOffroad
@@MrErichonda30 i replaced it with the 4 seat krx when it came out. I currently don't have a sxs on the channel however.
Great machine.
What year and model is this? I was looking at the 2024 limited today but I like your colors better
Hey thanks for watching. This is a 2022 limited edition model.
Mind saying why you sold the rmax? I'm thinking of getting one
I do a lot of mixed driving. With that comes some higher speed stuff and the rear suspension on the RMAX4 is not great for high speeds. Bucks really bad. Slower technical trail's no issues though. I loved the rmax but the 4 seater has dismal rear suspension travel numbers and it really rears its ugly head sometimes. The 2 seater is a different story. I would get a 2 seater again without a doubt.
@Odyssey Offroad thank you for the reply. I had the 850 4 seater and that was my biggest complaint. Now I'm nervous to give the rmax a chance. A lot of money to not be happy with it. Is it like bad bad?
@@imbatman9176 at speed yes. If you need 4 seats get a krx4
My radio sucks! I cannot get reception even down at my home. Any suggestions?
The wire antenna under the hood. Try and re-locate it. You can also get an external antenna. If you look at the connections under the hood there is one for an antenna. Same as a car head unit.
Is there much difference between the XTR, and the limited? Is it worth the additional money, in your opinion?
The XTR isn't more money it's less money than this this is the limited edition this is the most expensive one. The XTR doesn't come with the electronic suspension.
@@OdysseyOffroad I meant is the limited worth the extra money?
@@kbar6304 for the electronic shocks i feel it is.
Hey im looking for a 4 seater sxs im stuck on a few models like the trex or razor sport turbo or the rmax ? Also dose the rmax have hooks for a car seat i have a two year old child safety is a big thing for us
There are no tether attachment points on any sxs for car seats that i am aware of and i have had them all at this point.
@@OdysseyOffroad thanks hey what do you think of the teryx4?
@@matthewcarter9462 like a tank but slow. It's Only an 800
Badass machine
It certainly was!
How about the adjustable suspension?
It works like its supposed to. It's not adjusting on the fly like a Polaris or a Can-Am it's just adjusts soft medium and hard with the switch instrad of having to get put of the car. It works as it should.
Where did they mount the winch solenoid
Under the hood i have a video on my channel that shows whats under the hood and you will see it.
100% on polaris having bad quality. Wont go there again. Can am has been great for us
One thing i do know is that Yamaha is of great quality.
Yes sir@@OdysseyOffroad
Which trim is this ?
Special edition
How is the engine in the backseat? Is there alot of radiant heat to the passengers?
No heat, a good amount of noise though.
No heat? You ever put a cup in the rear cup holders? Makes the drink nearly boil!
@@arieljavier1731 yours must be missing insulation or something because I have zero heat issues in the rear cup holders at all. None whatsoever, actually cooler than the front ones.
I blew a belt at 3300 on my rmax.. still can happen lol
3300 miles on 1 belt that is unheard of by Polaris and canam boys lol
