I got my rock sliders mounted earlier today. I think they look really good on the gray. Hopefully they hold up and work just as good.

Picked up an Assault Industries Ballistic D flat bottom steering wheel and Assault Industries mounting hub. Can't wait to try it out on the trail.

That hexagon shape slider looks great on the Rmax. Cover's the round tubing nicely.

Got my Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8" Otterbox Defender case mounted up. I can't wait until the tablet itself arrives because it's all ready to go.

Here it is all done

Do you have the part number for that table cradle?

There isn't any part number on the package. This is all it says.

I really like your tire/wheel setup. Can you tell me what the difference is between your wheels and the stock wheels? Are they different sizes? And was the rear wheel spacers just a nice-to-have, or were they necessary with your setup? Also, with the new wheels/tires, do you have any problems with tires rubbing?

Thanks! First of all the 4 seat RMAX doesn't come with the same size wheel and tire all the way around like the 2 seat RMAX does. My main complaint about the RMAX4. Putting a square setup on it allows the ability to rotate tires and IMO also handles way better. My setup also widened my overall stance as well which increased stability. When you go to a square tire setup on the 4 seater it will naturally end up a tad wider in the front though. Hence the spacers. I always like to be a bit wider in the rear if I can't be perfectly square. I usually prefer my suspension set to soft as well so being wider in the rear especially helps keep it very stable with the extra body roll you get with the soft setting. Here's the link to the RMAX wheel and tire thread. There's lots of good info. there.

RMAX 1000 Wheel Size/Offset & Tire Type/Size Thread

Thanks for the good information. I’m thinking about buying the RMAX4 LE and I would want to upgrade the tires. My questions of concern are:

-DOT tires or no?
-New bread lock wheels or stock?

I am in hurricane Utah, so most of my riding would be at sand hollow. Appreciate any input I can get from anyone.

Ride looks great with that set-up. I was thinking of doing the same but had concerns on how the starring would be affected.

Being DOT approved isn't necessary. Not all good radials are DOT approved. And sometimes it even depends on the size. For instance some of the Maxxis Liberty sizes are DOT approved but the 30X10X14 I have are not. As far as beadlocks. I love mine but and they allow running lower tire pressures but not everybody likes them. You will want to get new wheels though if you want the same size tire all the way around and be able to rotate due to the stock wheels being narrower in the front than the rear.

Your steering will be fine with a 5+2 offset wheel. You will lose some turning radius if you go extra wide and run a 4+3 offset.

I assume you’d be doing some rock crawling? not just trail riding. If so I’d definitely go to a bead lock and air down.
No need to be DOT approved for sand and slick rock.
Tons of great radials to choose from but the new Quadboss 808 is a DOT approved and is almost as sticky as a Roxzilla. It’s proving to be assume on the slick rock at a great price.
BF Goodrich KM3 is probably the best all around tire available for desert riding and rocks IMO. Its ability to hang by the side wall on vertical walls of slick rock is amazing. I think they do almost as good as Roxzilla stickies but they will last much longer.

I've been waiting for months for this to arrive. I knew when I ordered it with all of the things I needed for my 1600 mile service that it was on backorder and parts were basically non-existent to be able to get but I figured since I was ordering the amount of parts to get free shipping I would throw it in and wait since it was only about $15 extra to buy. It is the 12-volt accessory plug that the RMAX4 XT-R and Limited Edition models come with in the rear. I believe this is the last upgrade that the higher models come with that I wanted to add to my R-Spec. Installation for this should be very simple but I will post some pics when I get it installed with any thoughts. Oh ya. And I love the fact that it's gray. That's the fastest color.

 

[wolvymanx4]

For about $15 only Yamaha should put this in every models. I sure most people won't use it often but for that cheap just throw it in.

The plug was under seat already?

Yes, but it is already connected in the XT-R and Limited Edition models that come with it already. I remember seeing it back when I installed my seat belt bypass. The installation was super quick and easy. I plan on doing a thread on adding this that will list the part numbers needed so that other R-SPEC owners that may want to ad it can more easily do so.

So back in February I installed a couple of flag mounts on the RMAX to go to the UTV Utah Winter Jam. I totally thought that I was just going to remove them when I got home but figured out that they really didn't bother anything or hurt my cover when I put it on my rig. I finally decided that I would like to run some short flags more often just for fun. I took an old but still in perfect shape 7' atv flag pole that I had in the shed and cut it in half to have two 3.5' poles. I then ordered a couple quick release flag mounts so that I can easily remove them when I put my cover on. I plan on running the UTV Utah flag that they gave at the Winter Jam on one and I ordered up a fun one for the other. I am still waiting on the quick release mounts and my second flag so finished pics will have to come later. But here's what I already have and the pieces to the puzzle I'm still waiting on.

 

[wolvymanx4]

Got my quick release flag mounts installed today. They are attached to Tusk 2" aluminum flag mounts. Simple stuff but fun.

Wow. Nice job!! Good info!
